Fantasma: Kate Rohde's Chamber of Specimen

6 November 2010 - 5 December 2010

Australian artist Kate Rohde will have her first exhibition in Japan.

Rohde is a young contemporary artist creating animal-themed sculptures using fake fur, resin and flower paper. Her installations stir up visions of Baroque and Rococo-styled rooms. She participated in the Tokyo Wonder Site's residence program in 2008.  In this exhibition, titled "Fantasma", Rohde creates a unique installation using the entire Koishikawa branch of the University Museum of the University Tokyo which houses the university's collection of scientific specimens.

When nature's artifacts collide with the latest in art, something "fantasmic" is born.
