Huge inflatable dolls and balloon sculptures - the exhibition you have to see at Manchester International Festival
Yayoi Kusama is one of the world's most loved artists, renowned and adored for her surreal paintings, sculptures and immersive environments, and now Manchester has a front row seat for her spectacular inflatable artworks.
The new exhibition is without doubt a major moment for the North West's art and culture scene, even surpassing in scale Kusama's recent show 'Infinity Mirror Rooms' at Tate Modern. Drawing on several decades of work as an artist and encompassing more than 30 years of inflatable artworks, 'the princess of polka dots' latest exhibition nods back to her childhood, when she first started experiencing auditory hallucinations and began creating polka-dot images.
The festival, which takes place in venues across the city, will also see a collaboration between ex-Manchester United footballer Juan Mata and Hans Ulrich Obrist exploring the beautiful game, a mixed reality concert by the late Japanese composer Ryuichi Sakamoto, a live photographic performance by Benji Reid, and a musical adaptation of a cult queer classic by Philip Venables and Ted Huffman.
“As always, MIF is rooted in the spaces and places of Greater Manchester. So whilst we welcome the first visitors to our new home, Aviva Studios, to experience Yayoi Kusama’s incredible inflatable sculptures and an array of music inside and outside the venue, the Festival continues to extend its reach throughout the city in a true celebration of Manchester and its cultural offerings.
