Open Studio 42 Yoshiaki Kaihatsu "Funny-ture"
This event has ended.
At Fuchu Art Museum
Media: Installation, Art Talk
Yoshiaki Kaihatsu creates installations using everyday materials, transforming them into something completely unexpected. His humorous and ironic works include an outdoor food stand and tearoom made out of expanded polystyrene, an installation covering an entire room with dust, and a diary consisting of receipts from daily purchases.
This time, Kaihatsu has embarked on his new project, called "Funny-ture," his own twisted version of "furniture." Combining useless items found in daily life with cardboard boxes and modifying them with plastic wrap, the result is a playful series of furniture. During his stay at the museum, he will present a space that anyone can enjoy and interact with.
