Mind Bending Installations & Sculptures by Anish Kapoor.
17th February
Celebrated Bombay born, London based artist Anish Kapoor is renowned for his enigmatic sculptural forms which are incredibly difficult to describe in words. So who am I to even try, right? Right. There is no doubt that his ginormously epic installations are captivating and visually arresting, like the incredible Leviathan at Grand Palais in Paris last year (2011). It’s seriously serious and absolutely mesmerising, no? Having said this, I am equally intrigued and captivated by his smaller, seemingly simpler works, such as the Untitled series shown below. To me, looking at these incredible pure glossy shapes is a form of visual meditation…

The Obliteration Room by Yayoi Kusama at GoMA in Brisbane.
27th January
Yayoi Kusama is a contemporary Japanese artist who puts dots all over her world. Her obsessive compulsive nuttiness is close to my heart and Kusama’s is definitely one of my all time favourite artists. Since December 2011, Queensland Gallery of Modern Art (GoMA) has been showing her work in a ‘Yayoi Kusama: Look Now, See Forever‘ exhibition. Part of this event is a seriously cooltown interactive installation for children called The Obliteration Room – a series of rooms were painted completely in white where every room surface, piece of furniture and decoration was treated as a giant white canvas. Over the course of two weeks, kids were given thousands of colour dot stickers and were encouraged to make their creative contribution towards transforming the white space into one exploding with vibrant colours…
