Yayoi Kusama: last days of exhibition in London

Hallucination: that’s what Yayoi Kusama’s work is all about. The best-know living artist from Japan who influenced people like Andy Warhol, made me and my friends get more and more interested in her as we were entering the rooms and her universe that is so unique and somewhat very bizarre.

It’s a must visit if you’re in London right now. You’ll experience and feel things that goes from uncomforted dizziness to complete amazedness.

I’ll never forget the “Infinited Mirrored Room – Filled with the Brilliance of Life” where you enter in a room of mirrors and its filled with these very small lamps that shines with different colors at different timing and makes you feel like you’re in an infinite world, that you can walk and look at yourself for your whole life never arriving at the end of anything. There’s a video where you can see what I’m talking about:

The exhibition is at Tate until the 5th of June. Run! 😀

The pictures where taken by Thais Caramico and Roberto Almeida.

David Shrigley: Brain Activity

David Shrigley makes everyone laugh, point and talk about his work all the time! I never visited an exhibition that touched and created joy in everyone, with all types of backgrounds, from kids to art critics.

There was this part of the exhibition that you could see a lot of very small sculptures of these characters that he created and then, right before them you could read: “Do not trespass or alarm will be activated”. Of course, some of the visitors trespassed – and the alarm rang!

On the side, some visitors were getting stuck, not finding the next room. The wall had a hole and everyone was supposed to be passing there.

I found this trailer below made by the southbank centre with an interview with David Shrigley:

And the pictures I found here and here (they didn’t allow me to take pictures).

Visiting the exhibition of one my favorite artists right in between two trips? It wasn’t luck, I think this time was fate! 😀 I happened to bump into a wall covered with his drawings on the day I went to see Cindy Sherman’s exhibition two months ago!

Journey

That game company is one of my favorite videogame studios. They always try to come up with ideas for games that make you feel things much more than using your coordination abilities – all mixed with an amazing art direction.

Journey is an interactive parable, an anonymous online adventure to experience a person’s life passage and their intersections with other’s.

Watch the trailer below, download it and enjoy the ride on your PS3! (You have one right? :P)
