Yayoi Kusama’s Infinity Room is Coming to Chicago!!!!

A mysterious new institution called the wndr museum has announced plans to bring a Yayoi Kusama Infinity Room to Chicago, the first to ever go on view in the Windy City. The pop-up museum promises to feature educational and experiential installations that merge art and science to appeal to visitors of all ages.

Few details have been revealed about the forthcoming wndr museum, but it appears to be the non-museum kind of museum in the tradition of the Museum of Ice Cream. With the exception of the Kusama work, the rest of wndr is full of Instagram-friendly photo opps in bright colors.

 “The wndr museum represents the next level of experience in art—in other words, experience as art,” a spokesperson from the museum said. “Legacy museums are about looking at art—the wndr museum is about you as part of art. wndr manipulates natural phenomena in a series of interactive experiences that invite you to look at yourself in relation to the world, from the tiniest speck to infinity.”

But wndr is promising to outdo the competition. It “will raise the bar on pop-up experiential exhibits,” according to a fact sheet provided to mei-mei. “It will bring depth to an area that has been defined by lack of substance.”

Details of when the installation will launch and where the wnder museum will be located are still pending. The organizers of the museum are currently anonymous, and they have not determined ticket prices have yet. Interested parties can sign up on the wndr website here, which will notify them when they go on sale.

29Rooms is Coming to Chicago!

There is no better way to enjoy the middle of the amazing summer season in Chicago than with 29Rooms presented by Refinery29. Want to make your Instagram followers extremely jealous? There's no better place to show off your prowess behind a smartphone lens than at 29Rooms, a collection of 29 interactive spaces curated by Refinery29 that will be making its way to Chicago for the first time from July 26 to 29. The exhibit functions as a massive funhouse for adults, with installations like a giant typewriter that you can walk on and intricate, patterned backdrops that you can take selfies in front of. When it opens in Chicago, 29Rooms will take up residence at 1522 Hubbard Street and feature some of the most popular installations that have appeared in New York, Los Angeles and San Francisco.

The theme of the Chicago exhibition is “Turn It Into Art,” celebrating the power of creativity and challenging attendees to use the 29 spaces as a source of inspiration.

Tickets for the Chicago edition of 29Rooms are on sale now, but you'll need to act fast to lock down your spot—previous editions of the exhibit in New York and Los Angeles have sold out quickly. A $39 ticket gets you three hours of access to the interactive exhibition (with a portion of proceeds donated to nonprofit partners).

Take a look at a video of all the cool stuff that 29Rooms presented while it was in Los Angeles last year. 

You can learn more about the event and get your tickets through 29Room's website here. See you all there!
