Kohei Nawa – “PixCell-Elk#2″
Written on April 4, 2010
I was lucky enough to catch the Asia Pacific Triennial at GoMA right before it ended, and this work by Kohei Nawa was the best out of a very wonderful collection of work. Hosted in it’s own small white room, visitors were reflected innumerable times in the surfaces of the sculpture. Certainly one of the most impressive works which I’ve seen in recent years. You really need to be standing right in front of it to appreciate the spectacle.

Laura, luckily I did take a photo of the art card: http://imgur.com/nAtBj
As I understand it, the artist bought the Elk already stuffed and then proceeded to cover it in the glass, crystal and acrylic beads you see there.
Hope that helps.
