"I created a cartoon character in order not to become one myself."
- Simon Fujiwara
Gallery Hyundai is pleased to announce Whoseum of Who?, the first exhibition of British-Japanese artist Simon Fujiwara at the gallery from April 5 to May 21. Building on a series centered on his cartoon character Who the Bær, Gallery Hyundai will present over 40 new works that include drawings, videos, paintings and site-specific installations.
‘Who’ the Bær is a cartoon character that the artist developed during the first pandemic lockdown as a ‘Dada-esque response to an increasingly absurd and incomprehensible world.’ Fujiwara’s character takes the form of an identity-free cartoon bear. With seemingly no race, no gender and no sexuality, Who is only recognisable by their golden heart and impossibly long tongue. Doomed to forever be ‘only 2 dimensional’ and trapped in their status as an image, Who the Bær poses earnest questions on the nature of a ‘true and authentic self’ in an era of hyper technological mediation. Since it’s debut in 2021 at the Fondazione Prada in Milan, exhibitions of Who the Bær have traveled to Kunstinstituut Melly, Rotterdam and Prada Aoyama, Tokyo; and the series has been presented across multiple media, from painting and sculpture to full scale installations, stop frame animations and a children’s book.
