As part of her exhibition “Look now, See forever” at Gallery of Modern Art, Brisbane, artist Yayoi Kusama constructed a large white environment to be brought to a “Kusama” life: Over two weeks the museum’s smallest visitors were asked to stick thousands of colored dot stickers to the walls and furniture, so the installation transformed into “The Obliteration Room”.

The exhibition runs trough March 11, 2012.

The company will be celebrating the 80th anniversary of its foundation in 2012, which looks set to be a year packed with events and innovations for the Serafini brand.

One initiative is dedicated entirely to the junior world: in partnership with Serafini, the publishing company Donzelli is printing 800 limited edition copies of the illustrated book “Vestiario / Bestiario - abiti per animali dalla collezione Vladimir Radunsky” (“The Beastly Wardrobe. Clothing for animals from the Vladimir Radunsky collection”) with an introductory note by Mikhail Baryshnikov.

A fantastic tale featuring a series of garments created to clothe fairy-tale animals. Conceived, designed and created by the Moscow artist, the colour plates which illustrate the book are the main attractions at an exhibition being held in the Palazzo delle Esposizioni in Rome from 11 November 2011 to 8 January 2012.

The clothes themselves, “sewn” in life size versions for the occasion, and the plates will then feature in an exhibition at the Pitti Immagine Bimbo show from 19 to 21 January 2012. Radunsky’s illustrations will also be the subject of a 2012 communication campaign for the Serafini Junior shoes line.
