my love for you is like a couch covered in stuffed polka-dot things, baby

This is Yayoi Kusama, a favorite artist of myself and many others.

dude, are you reading that book?! i'm asking because i totally just read it a few weeks ago and i was wondering if that was a real installation or not. and then i was really sad that i never got to see it.

i am not reading that book - i found that passage while looking for copies of kusama's out of print (i think) novels on amazon. how odd that you actually read it and then i posted about it...? anyway yes it was totally a real installation but honestly i didn't think it was that great - i've seen many things by her that i liked a lot more.

oh, that makes sense. i had a hard time picturing you reading escapist wealthy-lady chick lit. (though the book is right in the middle of my own literary wheelhouse.)

the Kusama "fireflies" piece was in the 2004 biennial, so was the Zak Smith piece.

oops you are right. whoever you are. honestly i didn't know people could post anonymously here. i was confused because of that mirror ball piece.
