Artist Watch: Yayoi Kusama

I wish I could have gone to Australia to see this exhibition (and maybe even partake in it!).  Yayoi Kusama (born 1929) created in installation at the Queensland Art Gallery in Australia that was a couple of "domestic-syle rooms" like a living room and kitchen.  But everything was painted white.  And once the exhibition opened, the children who visited the museum were given colored dot stickers to decorate the rooms!  How amazing is that?  Here are a few photos from the 'Obliteration Room' installation:

Artist Watch: Vanishing Cultures Project

The Vanishing Cultures Project is a documentary project that is helping to create awareness of native tribes and preserve their way of life.  Taylor Weidman and Nina Wegner team up for half the year and go out to document indigenous tribes.  They have already finished their first project about Tibet in the Upper Mustang region.  You can purchase prints and a book about Tibet.  Right now they are working on documenting the pastoral herders in Mongolia.  Check out more about their project here: http://www.vcproject.org

What I really love about the project is not only the preservation aspect, but the photographs.  They are truly stunning.
