Introduction
This March, Mudam Luxembourg – Musée d’Art Moderne Grand-Duc Jean will open Simon Fujiwara: A Whole New World, a comprehensive overview presenting nearly twenty years of work by Japanese-British artist Simon Fujiwara (born 1982, London). Conceived as a survey of his multifaceted practice, the exhibition transforms Mudam into an immersive environment inspired by the scenography and dramaturgy of theme parks.
The largest presentation of Fujiwara's work to date, A Whole New World offers a rare opportunity to experience several of the artist’s most significant, large-scale installations—from his early video and performance works that probe the construction of identity, across his acclaimed series Hope House that explores the legacy of Anne Frank, to his most recent work Who the Bær, a cartoon character with no identity.
Spanning painting, film, performance, design and storytelling, the exhibition reveals the breadth of Fujiwara’s oeuvre.
