Kusama for Kids

This summer, the NGV presents Yayoi Kusama, Australia’s largest ever exhibition of art by leading contemporary artist Yayoi Kusama. Families can enjoy Kusama for Kids: The Obliteration Room, a free interactive installation, along with other free artworks displayed on NGV International's ground level. The Obliteration Room is a large-scale interactive installation for children and families by Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama. In her art, Yayoi Kusama has used dots to cover many different surfaces and fill entire rooms. She calls this process ‘obliteration’, which means the complete destruction of every trace of something. At the NGV, Yayoi Kusama invites everyone to ‘obliterate’ the rooms by adding bright, colourful dots to the white furniture, objects and surfaces.
