EP333 住在精神科機構的全球最紅藝術家——草間彌生｜向大師致敬

你可能在社群媒體上看過那些鋪天蓋地的圓點。那些讓人眼花撩亂的鏡子房間。那些站在巨大南瓜雕塑旁邊的人群。這一切都來自一個人。她叫草間彌生。 一九二九年生於日本長野縣。草間彌生從童年就開始看到幻覺。花朵對她說話。圓點蔓延包圍她。她用繪畫對抗那些讓她恐懼的影像。她說如果不畫她就會死去。 一九五八年她帶著幾千美元離開日本去了紐約。語言不通。身無分文。但她繼續創作了那些密密麻麻布滿筆觸的無限之網。六零年代她成為紐約前衛藝術圈的傳奇人物。並以裸體行為藝術參與了反越戰運動。 一九七七年她主動選擇住進東京一家精神科療養機構。她說那是她一生最好的決定之一。從那一天到今天。她每天走去工作室創作。一個圓點接一個圓點。沉默而堅定。 今天的沉思者J。我們走進那些圓點背後的故事。 You may have seen the polka dots flooding social media. The dizzying mirror rooms. The crowds posing next to giant yellow pumpkins. All of it comes from one woman. Her name is Yayoi Kusama. Born in Matsumoto, Nagano in 1929, Kusama began experiencing hallucinations as a child. Flowers spoke to her. Dots spread out and surrounded her. She painted to fight back against the visions that terrified her. She said that if she stopped painting, she would die. In 1958 she left Japan for New York with a few thousand dollars. She did not speak the language well. The money ran out fast. But she kept creating those dense, relentless Infinity Net canvases. By the 1960s she had become a legend in the New York avant-garde art scene and used naked happenings to join the anti-Vietnam War movement. In 1977 she chose to move into a psychiatric care facility in Tokyo. She says it was one of the best decisions of her life. From that day to this one, she walks to her studio every day and paints. One dot after another. Quiet and resolute. Today on Thinker J, we step inside the story behind all those dots. 草間彌生, Yayoi Kusama, 圓點藝術, 無限鏡屋, 南瓜雕塑, 前衛藝術, 沉思者J, Thinker J, 向大師致敬, 日本藝術家, 當代藝術, Jenny, 傳記, 精神健康, 藝術治療, 女性藝術家, 威尼斯雙年展, 行為藝術, 偉大人物, 堅持 Powered by Firstory Hosting
