The building, built by the architectural office of Kume Sekkei, It was planned as an interconnected tower that develop with the art presented. The rooms – less than 200 square meters each – were planned as limited and connected areas to offer a unique sensory experience. In this way, visitors can interact with the work in a more personal way and be part of the creative universe. To achieve this, a curved silhouette was chosen that, in addition to favoring the entry of natural light, allows viewers to discover the pieces under new perspectives and angles, and find details that they have not seen before.
From the entrance, visitors are received by a dotted work that functions as a door to the creative world of Kusama. Upon entering the rooms, the exhibition is discovered «Creation is a solitary pursuit, love is What Brings you closer to art»a selection of some of its most recent works that includes more than 30 colorful paintings and a new sculpture. One of the jewels of the sample is the installation «Pumpkins Screaming About Love Beyond Infinity», which was created for the exhibition and invites you to discover a unique field of vibrant pumpkins that seem to shine the infinity.
In all points of the planet where it has been presented, Kusama's work has caused furor, so to guarantee an intimate experience, the museum developed a ticket purchase system with a restrictive schedule from Thursday to Sunday, which did not stop the artist's fans, who exhausted the exhibition tickets. However, exciting samples are planned for this year that promise to reveal part of the creative enigma of the color teacher.
