Kids Gallery -We Make Carpets

Brand New Kids gallery just opened at NGV, Designed by Dutch art collective We Make Carpets this spectacular exhibition is perfectly created for children and families in which the floors and walls of the children’s gallery have been covered in vividly colourful murals created with household objects.

Children can use objects including kitchen sponges, Velcro squares, pegs, pool noodles and coloured rope. Families are encouraged to add to the kaleidoscopic patterns by adding objects directly to the walls and floors of the gallery.

Commissioned specifically for NGV Triennial, Hands On: We Make Carpets for Kids is inspired by the creative possibilities found in everyday items. Working with the power of numbers, thousands of household objects such as foam pool noodles, nylon rope, kitchen sponges and plastic pegs are carefully arranged to create impressive displays for everyone to view and take inspiration.

Children are invited to arrange random shapes and turn the floor into a richly patterned surface; make dashes of colour with ropes to complete a new piece; and play with colour and shape using Velcro swatches. The participation of visitors over the duration of the exhibition will produce a visual treat of kaleidoscopic colour for all to enjoy.

Triennial - FLOWER ROOM

Yayoi Kusama - Flower room

Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama is one of the most famous living artists in the world. Yayoi has said that she always wanted to be an artist.

Today she lives in a hospital in Tokyo and visits her art studio every day. For more than sixty years, Yayoi has covered the surfaces of her artworks with lots of tiny dots.

This began when she was a little girl and saw red flowers from a tablecloth expand to cover every surface in the room. For most of her life, Yayoi has experienced visions of seeing the world through a screen of dots. She calls this process ‘obliteration’, which means the complete destruction of every trace of something.

Yayoi Kusama invites you to take a single red flower and find a special spot in the house to help obliterate all the surfaces in this room with flowers.
