WHEN: 16th January 2011 till 22nd January. (with people arriving evening of Sunday 15th) WHERE: Grow Heathrow, Sipson, UB7 0JG. COST: Free, but a deposit of £20 will be asked to secure your place.

In December, at an inter-active installation for the Gallery of Modern Art in Brisbane, artist Yayoi Kusama created a brilliantly white environment (a blank canvas) where over the course of two weeks children who visited were given thousands of coloured dot stickers and were invited to collaborate in the transformation of the space. The installation, entitled The Obliteration Room is part of Kusama’s Look Now, See Forever exhibition that runs through March 12 in Brisbane.
