赫希洪博物馆近期将举行一场大型展览，展示了日本艺术家草间弥生长达65年职业生涯中的作品，其中包括六个让人身临其境的无限镜室、大型绘画、装置、雕塑以及珍贵的档案资料。‘本次展览的名字是“草生弥间：无限镜室”，展出了最受人们喜爱的几个类似的作品，例如“‘the obliteration room”、“phalli’s field”，以及一个8英尺高的“南瓜”，将立于赫希洪博物馆的中央广场上，静视着等待的人群。'yayoi kusama（草间弥生）在职业生涯的现阶段，有了世界性的影响力，她的艺术已经有能力引发各个年龄段观众的共鸣”赫希洪的主要负责人，melissa chiu评价说。

the hirshhorn museum is presenting an expansive exhibition that spans the 65-year-long career of japanese artist yayoi kusama, including six immersive infinity mirror rooms, large-scale paintings, installations, sculpture and rare archival materials. ‘yayoi kusama: infinity mirrors’ features familiar favorites like ‘the obliteration room’ and ‘phalli’s field’, as well as an 8-foot-tall ‘pumpkin’ that watches over waiting crowds at hirshhorn’s central plaza.‘yayoi kusama, who, at this stage of her career, is a worldwide phenomenon, has the ability to inspire audiences of all ages with the power of her art,’ says melissa chiu, the hirshhorn’s director.

展览将一直持续至2017年5月14日，地点在华盛顿的赫希洪博物馆，展览将按主题分散组织，以曾在1965年，在纽约首次面世的草间弥生的作品 ‘infinity mirror room—phalli’s field’为开始。它由几百盏红点状的突起物组成，充满了一间四周被玻璃所覆盖的房间，让人眼花缭乱。 继续往前，参观者可以看到作品‘infinity mirror room—love forever’，一个可以令人身临其境的六角形屋子，其中排列着不断闪烁的彩色灯光，投射在地板和天花板上。

on view from now through may 14, 2017, the exhibition at washington DC’s hirshhorn museum is loosely organized by theme, beginning with kusama’s ‘infinity mirror room—phalli’s field’, first presented in new york 1965. visitors encounter a dense and dizzying field made up of hundreds of red-spotted protrusions that fill a mirror-clad room. as they make their way through the exhibitions, museum-goers can peer into ‘infinity mirror room—love forever’, an immersive hexagonal chamber lined with flashing colored lights that endlessly reflect across the floor and ceiling.

同样在展览的还有一个圆形镜屋作品，名为‘dots obsession — love transformed into dots’，空间以粉红色为主要色彩，内部天花板上挂满了表面上有圆点的充气球体。Kusama（草间弥生）最近还以LED为主要元素创造了两个作品‘aftermath of obliteration of eternity’ 以及 ‘souls of millions of light years away’，都成功的用灯和水晶球创造出了无尽的空间。 展览以‘the obliteration room’为结束，邀请游客参与其中，将彩色圆点贴纸贴到白色房间的每个表面，使其逐渐覆盖整个空间。

also presented is the domed mirror room titled ‘dots obsession — love transformed into dots’, which forms a hot-pink environment filled with inflatable, polka dotted orbs suspended from the ceiling. kusama’s more recent LED environments — lined with lanterns or crystalline balls that seemingly extend into infinity — are represented by the spectacular installations ‘aftermath of obliteration of eternity’ and ‘souls of millions of light years away’. the exhibition finishes with ‘the obliteration room’, a participatory installation inviting visitors to cover every surface of a white room with colored polka dot stickers, gradually canvassing the entire space.

展览在最后还再现了kusama（草间弥生）的60多件绘画和雕塑作品，主题囊括了自然、幻想、乌托邦、反乌托邦，从早期的超现实主义作品，到近期的画作，向人们展示了艺术家的创作轨迹。

展览在赫希洪博物馆和雕塑园首次亮相之后，‘yayoi kusama: infinity mirrors’ 展览将转移至美国和加拿大的五大博物馆，其中包括西雅图艺术博物馆、洛杉矶布洛德博物馆、安大略省美术馆、克利夫兰艺术博物馆和亚特兰大高等艺术博物馆。

finally, kusama’s recurring themes of nature, fantasy, utopia, dystopia are represented in a selection of more than 60 paintings and sculptures, forming a sensory journey through the artist’s creative trajectory from early surrealist works, to recent painted projects.
following its debut at the hirshhorn museum and scupture garden, ‘yayoi kusama: infinity mirrors’ will travel to five major museums in the united states and canada, including the seattle art museum, the broad in los angeles, the art gallery of ontario, the cleveland museum of art, and the high museum of art in atlanta.
