The Ackland Art Museum houses a variety of permanent collections and special exhibitions, both of which hold important cultural history. The Honors Carolina Student Association is pleased to host a guided tour of the current special exhibition, “Yayoi Kusama: Open the Shape Called Love” and “Toriawase: A Special Installation of Modern Japanese Art and Ceramics.” Yayoi Kusama’s “Infinity Rooms,” which are mirrored and specially lit environments, have recently been a premier attraction for art lovers all over the world. The exhibit includes a range of intimate “dot paintings” and “net paintings,” and examples of her provocative sculpture and multi-media work. Toriawase is a Japanese concept that loosely means to choose and combine objects with exquisite care. This special installation approaches the combination of modern art and ceramics in this spirit, aiming less for a historical or scholarly approach and more for an intuitive, experiential orchestration of relationships and correspondences. Learn more about “Yayoi Kusama” here and about “Toriawase” here.
