Simon Fujiwara: A Whole New World
Simon Fujiwara will transform Mudam into an immersive world, placing his works within a unique exhibition environment that draws on theme-park design. Bringing together projects spanning seventeen years, this mid-career survey will offer an insightful view onto Fujiwara’s practice. Drawing on both personal narratives and cultural phenomena, he reflects on the mechanisms of history, art history and architecture. With disarming humour and critical wit, the work exposes their entanglement with contemporary forms of advertising, entertainment and online culture. This exhibition will trace the evolution of the artist’s complex visual language, highlighting Fujiwara’s distinctive ability to reveal the absurdities and contradictions of the world we inhabit.
