Finally! Although I need to half-drag my not too enthusiastic family, I managed to set my foot in the currently hip #museummacan to experience the art of #yayoikusama. As the most happening museum in #jakarta, you need to queue a lot here: at the entrance, and definitely before entering the signature, instagramable infinity mirror rooms. So, first tips: better buy the tickets online from their website to skip long lines in the ticket booths. Second, make time to check the Dos & Don'ts in their IG story before your visit to avoid any misbehaviour. Some of their rules are only handphone camera is allowed (without flash), and absolutely no tripod, monopod/selfie stick. You can't bring big bag inside, either. All stick rules are set to protect the creations, though. Anyway, as a not so artsy person, I must say that I pretty enjoy her works and don't mind joining a long line only to be in the infamous rooms for 15-25 seconds, 1 minute top! Because once you're in there, it's all worth it. Since you only have 2 hours to explore the museum, includes queueing up, so better make your time worthwhile. Ticket price: IDR 100K/adults, IDR 90K/students and IDR 80K/children under 12 year olds. A trivia: title of her exhibition, #LoveIsTheHeartOfTheRainbow is actually the title of one of the paintings in her painting series called #MyEternalSoul. #weekender #weekendactivity #yayoikusamaexhibition #museummacanjakarta #KusamaJakarta #KUSAMAxMACAN #reviewdoremi
Just a casual day at Yayoi Kusama’s living room ✨ . . The Obliteration Room (2002-present). When Yayoi Kusama was a small girl she started seeing the world through a screen of tiny dots. They covered everything she saw–the walls, ceilings, and even her own body. For 40 years she has made paintings, scluptures, and photographs using dots to cover surfaces and fill rooms. Kusama calls this process ‘obliteration’, which means the complete destructioon of every trace of something. . . #yayoikusama #museummacan #museummacanjakarta #museummacanxyayoikusama #yayoikusamaexhibition #yayoikusamajakarta #artmuseum #artwork #loveistheheartoftherainbow #dots #art #obliterationroom #igdaily #lightroom #iphoneography #KUSAMAxMACAN #kusamajakarta
