In 1996, Tracey Emin lived in a locked room in a gallery for fourteen days, with nothing but a lot of empty canvases and art materials, in an attempt to reconcile herself with paintings. Viewed through a series of wide-angle lenses embedded in the walls, Emin could be watched, stark naked, shaking off her painting demons. Starting by making images like the artists she really admired (i.e. Egon Schiele, Edvard Munch, Yves Klein), Emin’s two-week art-therapy session resulted in a massive outpouring of autobiographical images, and the discovery of a style all her own. The room was extracted in its entirety, and now exists as an installation work.

The Obliteration Room by Yayoi Kusama.
Over the course of two weeks, the museum’s smallest visitors were given thousands upon thousands of coloured dot stickers and were invited to collaborate in the transformation of the space, turning the house into a vibrantly mottled explosion of color. How great is this?
Aqueous Fluoreau by Mark Mawson.
(some of Mawson’s other images were integrated into and inspired my Jellyfish Bloom theme for one of my design classes)
Apparently in several wooded areas around the UK, passersby have been stopping for decades (if not centuries), meticulously hammering small denomination coins into trees. The practice seems akin to love padlocks.

Sorry for the excessive AD posts of late. The Bluth Company is reminding me of just how excessively brilliant and nuanced and layered that show is. Favorite show of all time, hands down.
