Centro Cultural Banco do Brasil - Yayoi Kusama

The exhibition by Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama at Centro Cultural Banco do Brasil in downtown Rio is a huge success. "Obsessão Infinita" - infinite obsession - is a chance to dive into the universe of a very special artist. In Yayoi Kusama's world everything is covered with polka-dots, and so the exhibition has thousands of them. The exhibition is very colorful, with paintings, sculptures, film and light and people seem to identify strongly with what they experience.

 

The fact that pictures are allowed in parts of the exhibition seems to be part of the success, in the times of selfies, everyone, even the blogger here, wants to take pictures in the middle of the polka-dots!

 

 

 

The exhibition will be on until January 20, 2014 - don't miss it! As for Centro Cultural Banco do Brasil, a beautiful and impressive building from 1906 that used to host Banco do Brasil,it was turned into a cultural center in 1989. CCBB is a must for all art lovers in Rio, there is always something going on!
