I went to see the “Melting City, Empty Forest” exhibit by up-and-coming Japanese artist Teppei Kaneuji over the weekend at the Yokohama Museum of Art.

Kaneuji produces works by pasting together and assembling ready-made objects such as maps, musical instruments, toys and plastic bottles. His “White Discharge” series would make an interesting MS/HS studio lesson (pictured above). He arranges found objects covering them in resin and allowing them to drip dry.

He also has several pieces involving coffee stains and found driftwood which work quite well together.

It’s his first solo exhibit and ends May 27th. Flickr photos may be viewed here.
