This morning my son and I decided to hit the the Yayai Kumama exhibit at SAM. As excepted, it was packed and almost sold out with all the hype about her work from the New York art scene. I even thought it'd be good! (Sorry to anyone who read a few blog posts back and went to it.)
Total Rubbish!
A friend from Chicago had pegged it perfectly when he said- "you're going to an expensive carnival funhouse of mirrors."
A scam... The 12' X 12' rooms consisted of fully mirrored sized dressing rooms... Inside was lit objects that reflected in the mirrors. Ummm.... that was it.. and we waited in lines for 20 minutes for each room, to spend 20 seconds in them. (Two people at a time) The photos below make it look super cool- don't be fooled!
A room filled with polka dot objects and another with lit glass pumpkins. The glass pumpkins reminded me of A Seattle Glass Blowers Seconds Sale- remixed in a mirrored closet. (We all know about the rarity of glass pumpkins in this area 😉) Pilchuck/Schack take note- a new revenue source!
One of the last rooms we were handed stickers to make an "interactive sticker room" - save your money and go to the gum wall! (@ pike place market) You have no rules with the gum wall, no chaperones telling what to do; and it's a little more edgy & dirty cause you don't wanna touch it; except to hang your mark of saliva filled gum, maybe take a pic, and get the fuck away from it.
In conclusion: Save your money, for about $100 you can mirror your closest/bathroom and hang LED lighting from the local craft store. Then invite your friends to come hang in your high brow art infinity closet. Don't forget the mirrored disco ball!
