John Felix Arnold recently returned from a trip to Japan, where he collaborated on an immersive installation inside Spes-Lab Gallery in Tokyo with Japanese artist Koutaro Ooyama aka Mon. To celebrate his new project at the SFMOMA, the nearby 111 Minna Gallery will host an opening reception this Saturday, June 8. We popped over to John Felix Arnold’s studio to check out his installations before they were assembled at the SFMOMA and see his collection of Japanese souvenirs. Take a look at some photos of Arnold’s new work and his installation at Spes-Lab below.
