INDIANAPOLIS – Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama’s Infinity Mirror Rooms may well have inspired the notion of immersive experiences with art. A pioneer in the genre, the first of these rooms debuted in 1965. Now, the first mirror pumpkin room created since 1991 is coming to Newfields. All the Eternal Love I Have for the Pumpkins, which was acquired by the Dallas Museum of Art in 2017, will be on view at Newfields from Oct. 3 through March 29 under the title of “Infinitely Kusama.”
