SUMMARY:National Gallery Singapore - Near Equal Kusama Yayoi - I Adore Myself
DESCRIPTION:NEAR EQUAL KUSAMA YAYOI – I ADORE MYSELF\nBy Takako Matsumoto \nJapan | Japanese with English subtitles | 2008 | 104 min | NC16\nThe screening includes a post-show Q&A with director Takako Matsumoto and exhibition curator Russell Storer. \nThis documentary observes avant-garde artist Yayoi Kusama at work as she completes a series of 50 large monochrome drawings entitled Love Forever for an exhibition in New York\, and which is now also on show in the first major survey of her work in Southeast Asia at National Gallery Singapore. While doing so\, she makes cameo celebrity appearances on television\, and receives her country’s pre-eminent cultural award–the Praemium Imperiale–from the emperor. \nFilmed over a period of 18 months\, director Matsumoto gets up close and personal with the artist. Through casual interviews\, conversations between Kusama and her assistants\, and even poetry recitations\, the film offers an intimate portrait of a remarkable artist whose eccentricities\, self-obsession and intense dedication continue to intrigue the world today. \nNear Equal Kusama Yayoi – I Adore Myself has won the JAPAN CUTS Audience Award (USA\, 2008) and the CAMERA JAPAN Audience Award (Netherlands\, 2008). \nDIRECTOR\nBorn in Kanagawa\, Japan\, Takako Matsumoto is an award-winning television documentary filmmaker.
