The nine decades of Yayoi Kusama's life have taken her from rural Japan to the New York art scene to contemporary Tokyo, in a career in which she has continuously innovated and re-invented her style. Well-known for her repeating dot patterns, her art encompasses an astonishing variety of media, including painting, drawing, sculpture, film, performance and immersive installation. It ranges from works on paper featuring intense semi-abstract imagery, to soft sculpture known as 'Accumulations', to her 'Infinity Net' paintings, made up of carefully repeated arcs of paint built up into large patterns. Since 1977 Kusama has lived voluntarily in a psychiatric institution, and much of her work has been marked with obsessiveness and a desire to escape from psychological trauma. In an attempt to share her experiences, she creates installations that immerse the viewer in her obsessive vision of endless dots and nets or infinitely mirrored space.

At the centre of the art world in the 1960s, she came into contact with artists including Donald Judd, Andy Warhol, Joseph Cornell and Claes Oldenburg, influencing many along the way. She has traded on her identity as an 'outsider' in many contexts - as a female artist in a male-dominated society, as a Japanese person in the Western art world, and as a victim of her own neurotic and obsessional symptoms. After achieving fame and notoriety with groundbreaking art happenings and events, she returned to her country of birth and is now Japan's most prominent contemporary artist.

This is a varied, spectacular exhibition of a truly unique artist. There has never been an exhibition of this size of her work in the UK and this is an unmissable opportunity for both Kusama fans and those new to her work.

-I liked these is detailed information of the different cultural forms in the article for example, the different tribes
-I  did not like that the article was outdated and there are no recent to further elaborate the change in style and fashion of the people of Zimbabwe as the country has evolved.

I would like to use the information in my studies to further explore the cultural aspect of the country and how fashion is impacted, and also be able to update the resource on how the fashion in `Zimbabwe has evolved to a certain extent .

We were impressed by the tailoring and fit of the pieces, as well as the androgyny in the works and the gender-fluidity. On the other hand, we found that the shorts were not flattering for the looks.
We could use these looks as inspiration for future designs and workmanship to understand how the development of the designer's final outcome.

- Loved how the article was inclusive of all groups of sex and culture.
- How the article was conscious of different cultures in fashion, what is appropriate and what is not.

-Did not like how the article explains the concept of what fashion should be as its too specific and not creative.

in the cultural and historical studies , we can be able to use the dated information provided as part of our research.

This articles goes into detail on the societal issues that are at hand in the fashion industry and the problems with 'fast fashion', which has taken over the industry. It talks about the moral aspects that people in fashion must face and disregard. On the other hand, we felt that the article was lengthy and could have been summarised in a more simplistic manner.
