Upgraded Childhood of the Day: Artist Yayoi Kusama made a whole bunch of dreams come true for kids in Australia by letting them run wild with stickers inside her “domestic installation” at the Gallery of Modern Art in Brisbane.
Last month, the museum’s youngest visitors were invited to give Kusama’s white space a colorful makeover, and they happily obliged.
The result — dubbed The Obliteration Room — is currently on display through March 12th as part of the artist’s Look Now, See Forever exhibition.
A few more photos here.

Performance Art Piece of the Day: For her latest project, “The Birth of Baby X,” Brooklyn-based performance artist Marni Kotak will give birth to an actual baby in front of local art patrons at Bushwick’s microscope gallery.
The birth will be followed by a long-term piece called “Raising Baby X,” which Kotak describes as “an ongoing performance art project that re-contextualizes the everyday act of raising a child as a work of art.”
For the project, Kotak will document every aspect of her child’s life, including, but not limited to, food, education, healthcare, discipline, “and simply loving the child.” Her experiences will be presented in the form of weekly podcast videos and, ultimately, “an anthology of memoirs.”
How long-term is “Raising Baby X”?:
The long-term project will ultimately encompass the overall span of the child’s life from birth through attending college and developing an independent life.
I sincerely hope the only performance art taking place here is the mock-description of a performance art piece only a truly twisted person would even contemplate.

Yeah, like Kate Plus 8, pretty much. Been there, done that!](http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lsv9yb2j3V1qzpwi0o1_1280.jpg)

I know I am but summer to your heart,
And not the full four seasons of the year;
And you must welcome from another part
Such noble moods as are not mine, my dear.
No gracious weight of golden fruits to sell
Have I, nor any wise and wintry thing;
And I have loved you all too long and well
To carry still the high sweet breast of spring.
Wherefore I say: O love, as summer goes,
I must be gone, steal forth with silent drums,
That you may hail anew the bird and rose
When I come back to you, as summer comes.
Else will you seek, at some not distant time,
Even your summer in another clime.

Dino Bones In A Bottle of the Day: Tokyo-based architectural model maker Akinobu enjoys building tiny, bottled things in his spare time. His tiny dinosaur skeletons (above) are particularly delightful.
Pick one up from his Etsy shop, Tiny World in a Bottle.
