Emory College Study Abroad
Infinity Pumpkins
King's College London, Spring 2016
London, United Kingdom
Although I was done with my classes for the day, I definitely wasn't done learning for the day. This was the case for many of my days abroad in London. I was wandering around Shoreditch (East London) with one of my friends, which is an emerging area for young artists and also a developing area of London. I wandered into the Victoria Miro gallery, which is near Shoreditch, and learned of Yayoi Kusama's art. Kusama's exhibition here was three mirrored rooms which gave the illusion that each art display was infinite. Her biggest artistic obsessions are polka-dot patterns and squash plants -- both of which the "Infinity Pumpkins" incorporates. This was the largest display at the Victoria Miro gallery, and the pumpkins made visiting the gallery one of my favorite abroad experience. Even though this was my first time learning about Kusama's artwork, I now actively seek out her artwork and enjoy it greatly.
