Yayoi Kusama to Present First UK Public Installation This Summer
Coinciding with a new exhibition at Victoria Miro and sculpture at Serpentine Galleries.
Londoners will be able to immerse themselves in one of Yayoi Kusama‘s Infinity Rooms through a new solo exhibition at Victoria Miro this September. The forthcoming show, the Japanese artist’s 14th with the gallery, will also include a series of new paintings entitled Every Day I Pray For Love, an exploration into line, color and form.
Locals don’t have to wait to the autumn to get a first glimpse at Kusama’s latest work, as she’ll install her first ever UK public installation at Liverpool Street Station. Entitled Infinite Accumulation, the work showcases Kusama’s affinity for polka dots as the art winds and expands “into linked forms that interact with and define public spaces outside the station,” according to a statement. The installation is “designed in response to the architecture of the new station entrance and landscaping,” the release continued, “encouraging people to look up and respond to the urban environment in a new way.”
Also landing in London this summer is a new massive Pumpkin sculpture that will open in the gardens of Serpentine Galleries. Every Day I Pray For Love will open at Victoria Miro on September 25 and run through November 2, 2024, while Infinite Accumulation opens on July 9 through autumn.
