Hong Kong · M+ Yayoi Kusama Exhibition: The Imaginary Space of a 94-Year-Old Artist |
I won't stop living my whole life,
Dedicated to the love for the universe.
·
The Hong Kong Arts Festival is still ongoing. This time, I came to Hong Kong right after recovering from gastroenteritis. After finishing work, I still insisted on wanting to go and see Yayoi Kusama's exhibition. This Japanese artist's works are filled with endless polka dots, which stack up to form an ocean, gradually blurring the existence of real space. For her, these repetitive dots are a unique way for her to communicate with the world, as well as a special medicine for self-healing. She is Yayoi Kusama.

This exhibition is very grand. It covers most of Yayoi Kusama's famous works from 1945 to the present. It is a rare large-scale solo exhibition that allows visitors to see the artist's turbulent life through her observations and insights into life, living beings, and the universe.

Using its distinctive and high-contrast collision colors and polka dot elements, a large number of paintings, sculptures, and installation art have been created to depict and reconstruct personal understandings of love, art, biology, life, the world, and the universe.

Following the curator's train of thought, step by step feel the artist's creative process and the different stages of art, enter the colorful world of the artist, and try to converse with them. It's really too grand and magnificent, and it takes a long time to calm down.
·
Yayoi Kusama's special exhibition will continue until May 14th. Hurry up and go if you want to! There will be a lot of original exhibition items, specially customized printed coffee, and peripheral products.
·
In addition to the exhibition of Grass and Miyabi, the Hikaru Collection Exhibition, and "Dreams of the Museum", there is also "Objects. Space. Interaction", which is also very interesting. Using more than 500 design products to tell the story of design and architecture inside and outside of Asia, including furniture, architecture, graphic design, etc., the purpose is to glimpse into issues related to life from design and architecture.
