I’m tired of people whipping out their phone to share photos, no matter how hard I try to ooh and ahh at every image. It’s not often that I get to see my friend Lynn. She’s independently wealthy and travels a lot. I’m not, so I work a lot. The last time we met one thing was clear: Lynn’s latest adventure is her phone. Write of Way Write “Why are you taking pictures of that?” I asked. “To share with my daughter.” “It’s a salad. Surely she’s seen one before.” “To show how pretty it is.” And, like that, she begins to scroll through a million salad photos. Okay, that’s a teeny exaggeration. But there were many. So many, in fact, my first thought was, there’s silly, and then there’s ridiculous. But never mind. Obviously my fatigue is beside the point. Or maybe it is the point. Because it prompts the other side of my brain to kick in, the questioning side. My favorite dance teacher once said that most people are followers. “But an artist’s job is to question everything.” Honestly, that was all, positively all, she had to say. I’ve questioned copy-cat behavior ever since. It used to drive my mother crazy. “Can’t you just go along with it like everyone else?” she’d say, often. About so many things. “No. Mom. I. Cannot.” I still believe the best reason to come together for dinner is to ignore the rest of the world, not to include them, and I said as much to Lynn.“Lynn, I want to share stories about what we’re doing and what we want to do next, not listen to pings.” Oh, I miss uninterrupted conversations! We are designed for fewer interruptions, I think. Plus, I’ve learned to trust myself when she just knows when something is wrong, when, no matter how much money it makes for some, it’s just not better for everyone, especially people with addictive tendencies. You figure this out pretty quickly when your friend who’s fought long and hard to give up alcohol (and pot ... and pills) is snapping photos of everything around you instead of talking to you. Finally, she put her phone on the table face up. I reached over and put it face down. “You seem different,” she said. “As much a stickler as ever, but more relaxed.” My mind raced, flicking through what she just said for some little prize to make my point. I wish I could say this isn’t stickler behavior, but it is. “Well,” I said, “this always-on/never-off thing is too much interference for my stress level, so I leave my phone in my purse. Are all the photos really necessary?” “Well, they don’t make me happy, but they don’t make me any less happy.” I thought this was such a real thing to say, that it spoke of such personal honesty. “Well, there you go,” I said. “Now that your phone isn’t having more fun than we are, I get to hear you say the kinds of things I love you for.” “Oh my God,” she said. “You’re right! I’m brilliant.” Then, then, laughter and intimacy began to catch up to us. Marylou Sanelli Sanelli works as a writer and speaker. Her latest book is A Woman Writing.

Yayoi Kusama: Picturing the Self, Infinitely Seattle Art Museum

I have a confession. At the time of polka dot pumpkins or stuffed tubers. this writing, I have not seen “Yayoi Once inside, these intimate spaces can Kusama: Infinity Mirrors” at the Seattle simulate a feeling of being in the infinite Seattle Art Museum • Seattle, Washington Seattle Art Museum. In fact, I’ve never seen (or so I’ve been told). One of my friends Kusama’s work in a museum or gallery. even described his first time in an Infinity Room as a “cosmic experience.” And yet, I have seen it. The images of Kusama’s work precede her. They’re Kusama made her first Infinity Mirror everywhere: I’ve seen them in my art Room in 1965. And she’s continued history books, on the Internet, in the making them. Today, a kind of frenetic barrage of promotional materials from craze has built up around them. Kusama SAM over the last few months. Oh, and is also a prolific painter, sculptor, of course, on Instagram. performance, and video artist, but right now, her Infinity Rooms are all the rage. Kusama’s Infinity Mirror Rooms, the artworks for which she has become best When the exhibit was at the Hirshhorn in known, are a selfie-lover’s dream come Washington, D.C., earlier this year, the true.

Often, the spaces are filled tickets for the SAM show went on sale last with sculptural objects like her signature month, they sold out in less than 24 hours. What’s the draw? What is it about these Infinity Rooms that’s getting people to stand in line for hours to get inside one of Kusama’s mirrored rooms, knowing they might only be allowed 20 seconds once they’re in? Why the hype? I think the answer has something to do with social media, and a lot to do with Instagram.

Much like in an image. her fellow pop artists Andy Warhol and Keith Haring, Kusama has found a popular following that lives outside the traditional boundaries of the art world. Her astute understanding of the powers of publicity has lead to her immense popularity—in 2014, museum attendance records identified her as the most popular artist in the world. Over the course of her 65-year career, Kusama has worked hard to craft an identity that can be easily Installation view of “Yayoi Kusama: Infinity Mirrors” at the Hirshhorn dispersed and digested in a culture Museum and Sculpture Garden, 2017, (L-R) “Living on the Yellow Land,” of images. 2015; “My Adolescence in Bloom,” 2014; “Welcoming the Joyful Season,” 2014; “Surrounded by Heartbeats,” 2014; “Unfolding Buds,” 2015; “Story After Death,” 2014, Photo: Cathy Carver Today we often look to images to Seattle Art Museum • Seattle, WA locate our sense of self-identity, but for Kusama, this duplication and Kusama’s work asks us to examine this mirroring is a means of melting away reproduction, to question where the the boundaries of self.

According to Buddha: ‘However we perceive a fact, the truth is other than this.’ After suffering a stroke at age 14, I transferred my dexterity to my left hand, and that is how I paint. Faith and conviction played a central role.”
