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

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

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

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

Yayoi Kusama’s infinite mirrored room is the pièce de résistance of her exhibition “Every Day I Pray For Love,” which is currently on view at New York’s David Zwirner gallery and heads to Las Vegas next week.

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.

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

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.
