Art lovers spend two hours queuing for one minute in a room

People line up for two hours to spend even a minute in an art installation room.

We’ve all heard of seven minutes in heaven, but a 90-year-old Japanese artist is promising New York art lovers a 60-second experience worth waiting in line for hours.

Yayoi Kusama’s Room of Infinite Mirrors is the pièce de résistance of her exhibition “Every Day I Pray For Love” at David Zwirner Gallery.

She has done such installations before, most notably for her exhibition “Life is the Heart of the Rainbow” in Singapore in 2017, and has become known for her popular (and highly Instagrammable) installations.

A video shared by Bloomberg’s TicToc platform showcases this incredible experience, as well as the exhibition’s other offerings, which include a floor installation made up of reflective pieces.

Despite the one-minute time limit, most visitors who have visited the room say on Twitter that “the wait was worth it.”

Others offer a handy framework for dividing your time in the room: 50 seconds to explore and 10 seconds to take pictures.

I experienced the Infinity Mirrored Room at @The wide . Absolutely amazing. Highly recommend. There is a two hour wait, but you can walk around the museum while they text you when it’s your turn. pic.twitter.com/nDPPYaezio

It’s worth it. Time yourself. 50 seconds to take it all in – Zen. Then 10 seconds for a quick selfie and photo

But, unsurprisingly, some say they would have liked to spend more time in the room.

It was really bad in my opinion, I waited for hours; 1 minute does not give you enough time to appreciate the art, take pictures, etc. It is an art that fits perfectly into today’s consumer society, a smart thought.

I agree with the one minute part – I think it was something like 30 seconds here in Seattle. Although I think you’re missing the point of his work if you’re trying to capture Instagram photos

However, this is not the only popular tourist attraction that imposes a time limit. The Chicago Airlift imposes a 60- to 90-second time limit on visitors to its popular Ledge experience.

Unsurprisingly, the room has been a huge hit on Instagram.

The Broad Museum, where the exhibition was previously housed, shared a proposal that took place in one of Kusama’s Infinity Mirrored Rooms in 2013.

Earlier this year, a Art installation in Istanbul High heels were worn to commemorate the hundreds of women killed by their partners in domestic violence cases in Turkey last year.

Turkish artist Vahit Tuna has hung 440 pairs of high heels on a building in Istanbul, the country’s capital, to highlight the country’s problem of domestic violence.

The outdoor art installation is exhibited as part of Yanköşe, a non-profit art platform launched in 2017 by Kahve Dünyası, a Turkish coffee chain.

“We wanted everyone who passed by the road to be able to see (the work). That’s why we didn’t want to host the exhibition in a closed space,” artist Tuna told Turkish media, as reported by the Turkish daily. Hurriyet Daily Newspaper.
