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.”

Anna Maria Bligh the 50 year old Premier of the Australian state of Queensland, under enormous pressure resulting from the flood inundation of the state displayed a raw and emotional performance at a flood briefing. Shedding tears as a media conference Bligh called on the Queensland residents to stay strong in the face of the flood devastation, reminding them of who they are “We’re the people that they breed tough, north of the border. We’re the ones that they knock down, and we get up again.” Bligh has herself been praised for her tireless work during the natural disaster that struck her state, and for her honesty, compassion and leadership. Bligh is renown for her straight talking without the usual spin that generally accompanies politician speak.
