Yayoi Kusama the 82 year old Japanese conceptual artist renowned for her obsessive repetition of dots and patterns has a major solo exhibition titled ‘Look Now, See Forever’ at the Queensland GOMA. One of the pieces titled The obliteration room 2011, is an interactive project where a large furnished room of stark white is in the process of being covered with various size primary coloured polka dots, applied by visitors (mostly children). The result according to Artinfo is “a hypnotizing variety of colors and patterns taking over the room like highly contagious rainbow chicken pox. The bare white walls, couch, tables, and lamps play up the intense hues of the stickers, which come in a variety of shapes and sizes… crowded groups of dots so dense that the wall isn’t even visible beneath.”

Akihito the 77 year old 125th Emperor of Japan in an unprecedented and somber six minute address relayed throughout Japanese television stations where normal coverage was interrupted for the broadcast, described his deep hurt at the tens of thousands dead and missing victims of the earthquake and subsequent tsunami, along with the grievous situation in the affected areas of the damaged nuclear reactors. Authorities are battling to prevent a nuclear catastrophe of unprecedented scale, potentially the worst since the end of the Second World War that required massive rebuilding from the devastating defeat. Akihito called on his people to hand in hand treat each other with compassion and overcome these difficult times. Many Japanese revere their emperor or at least have a fond affection.
