Crazy Japanese

You might not know who Yayoi Kusama is but you might have seen her work last year in Singapore.

Yayoi Kusama's Ascension of Polka Dots on the Trees at the Singapore Biennale 2006 on Orchard Road.















Here, you see her latest installations using mirrors to great effect.






And, this artist now lives in a mental hospital in Tokyo.

I can see why he ended up in a nut house. 10 minutes in a space like that is tolerable and novel at first. Anything more than that will drive you crazy. I guess it is somewhat true that in order to achieve genius of this sort, you've got to be insane to begin with.
