The 82-year-old Japanese icon, who deftly inserted herself into the epicenter of Minimalism, Pop, and performance art in New York City in the 1960s and 1970s, continues to produce eye-popping, whimsical, surreal works. She also lives — by choice — in a mental institution.<br/><br/> An art-world provocateur turned living legend, Kusama is, despite her stature in the art world, also something of an “outsider artist.” Although she was schooled in art — unlike artists to whom the term is usually applied — she is seemingly driven more by personal neuroses and compulsions than artistic or intellectual trends. However, Kusama’s place in contemporary art is more complex than the simple story of an outsider finding her way into the fold. Her autobiography, written in 2002 and now appearing in English for the first time, seeks to secure her reputation among the international avant-garde. Yet it is also highly ambivalent, pointing to the limitations of traditional distinctions between insider and outsider.<br/><br/><p><a href="http://lareviewofbooks.org/post/16463538643/art-therapy">Read More</a></p> </blockquote>http://www.mitchlillie.com/post/21120457003http://www.mitchlillie.com/post/21120457003Sun, 15 Apr 2012 10:02:06 +0800Georgia O’KeefeInfinity NetKusama Polka-Dot ChurchMidori YamamuraSharon MizotaYayoi KusamaYokohama Triennaleoutsider artistKusama ’Omophile KompanyJoseph CornellMidori Yamamura<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m2bavw1jb01qj71o6o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://www.mitchlillie.com/post/20955809055http://www.mitchlillie.com/post/20955809055Thu, 12 Apr 2012 16:00:55 +0800cicada poster insects science<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m2baevjICq1qj71o6o1_250.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://www.mitchlillie.com/post/20932492608http://www.mitchlillie.com/post/20932492608Thu, 12 Apr 2012 08:02:28 +0800jeruthedamaja hiphop albumcover music<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m11ym05s1R1rngud3o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://fsgbooks.tumblr.com/post/19511017316/hats-off-to-geoff-sawers-and-bridget-hannigan-for">fsgbooks</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>Hats off to Geoff Sawers and Bridget Hannigan for their incredible hand-lettered poster of our literary United States. <a href="http://www.theliterarygiftcompany.com/usa-literary-map-3459-p.asp">Get yours here</a>.</p> </blockquote>http://www.mitchlillie.com/post/19619889886http://www.mitchlillie.com/post/19619889886Tue, 20 Mar 2012 16:00:06 +0800<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m0xwpuB0SK1qgm6uqo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://vakk.tumblr.com/post/19353016189/toi">vakk</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>be toi-self mais not trop</p> </blockquote>http://www.mitchlillie.com/post/19565588802http://www.mitchlillie.com/post/19565588802Mon, 19 Mar 2012 16:00:06 +0800<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m12kxuDDk51qctokeo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a href="http://slabbb-blockkk-hilarious.tumblr.com/post/19504787751/lonneke-isolde-woudstra" class="tumblr_blog">slabbb-blockkk-hilarious</a>:</p> <blockquote><p>Lonneke</p> <p>Isolde Woudstra</p> <div id="xfollowers_shadow"> </div></blockquote>http://www.mitchlillie.com/post/19543997699http://www.mitchlillie.com/post/19543997699Mon, 19 Mar 2012 08:00:05 +0800<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lztc3dMb9o1qdjguqo1_400.png"/><br/><br/>http://www.mitchlillie.com/post/18599248092http://www.mitchlillie.com/post/18599248092Fri, 02 Mar 2012 16:00:06 +0800<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m00qq3bYWi1qarjnpo1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m00qq3bYWi1qarjnpo2_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://darksilenceinsuburbia.tumblr.com/post/18336399164/bimer-adolfo-bimer-155-tres-sonrisas-2009">darksilenceinsuburbia</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/people/bimer/"><strong>Bimer </strong>/ <strong>Adolfo Bimer</strong></a>.</p> <p><em>155: Tres Sonrisas, 2009.</em></p> <p><em>152: Retrato.</em></p> </blockquote>http://www.mitchlillie.com/post/18487352770http://www.mitchlillie.com/post/18487352770Wed, 29 Feb 2012 16:00:06 +0800booksteeth““I have to re-create the universe every morning when I wake up.
