“Dots Obsession” at WNDR Chicago
Featuring a series of floating yellow and black polka dots alongside walk-in and peep-in installations, Dots Obsession transports visitors into Kusama’s obsession with polka dots, repetition, celestial bodies and the experience of the infinite.

“Since my childhood, I have always made works with polka dots. Earth, moon, sun and human beings all represent dots; a single particle among billions,” Yayoi Kusama has said.

Dots Obsession was created by Yayoi Kusama in 2008 and has been exhibited around the world. After making its debut in London, the work has appeared in Lithuania, Singapore and Australia, and was most recently on view at Museum MACAN in Jakarta, Indonesia in 2018. This will be the first time that yellow Dots Obsession will be installed in the United States.

“Let’s Survive Forever” at WNDR Boston
The “Let’s Survive Forever” installation artwork features a mirrored room with a field of polka-dotted, inflatable, stainless-steel spheres suspended from the ceiling and scattered across the floor. The room is lit by changing colored LED lights, which create a kaleidoscopic effect as the spheres reflect and refract the light.

The title of the artwork, “Let’s Survive Forever,” reflects Kusama’s longstanding interest in themes of eternity and infinity. The repetition of the spheres and the use of mirrors create a sense of infinite space and suggest the idea of endlessness. The polka dots, which are a recurring motif in Kusama’s work, are meant to represent the interconnectedness of all things.

The installation is interactive, and viewers are invited to enter the mirrored room and walk among the spheres. This creates a sense of immersion and encourages viewers to contemplate their own place in the universe.
