Noch wenige Kusama-ArtTalk-Plätze für Kölner verfügbar.

Nächster ArtTalk: 03. September

Yayoi Kusama is one of the most famous artists in the world, and this Museum Ludwig show is sold out for a reason. Her art is bold, playful, intense and unforgettable.

This July ArtTalk is your last chance to experience Kusama with more than just a quick walk through a crowded exhibition - before it closes on August 2. Together, we’ll slow down enough to really look, talk and connect the dots, literally and emotionally.

We’ll explore how Kusama uses dots, nets, mirrors, repetition and immersive spaces to change the way we see.

Her work can feel joyful, strange, beautiful and overwhelming all at once -that tension is part of what makes it so powerful.

Instead of trying to see everything, we’ll focus on a strong selection of works and the big questions behind them:

What happens when a simple dot becomes a whole universe? Why does repetition feel calming in one moment and dizzing in the next? How does Kusama turn personal experience into art that speaks to millions?

Expect a lively museum atmosphere, an interactive ArtTalk, and the pleasure of seeing Kusama’s dots, mirrors and patterns open up in surprising ways. ✨

• 🎟️ Long Cologne Thursday opening: museum entrance is free for Cologne citizens with valid Cologne ID. Please note: the Kusama exhibition itself is sold out, and no additional online tickets are currently available.

• 🔵 Meeting Point: Central foyer, at the bench, by the column with the BLUE dot.

Come join us for a vivid ArtTalk journey into Kusama’s world of repetition, color and infinity. Places are very limited - sign up today!
