Epiphyte Chamber in Vogue

Epiphyte Chamber is the newest installation by UWSA professor Philip Beesley, installed at the new National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art (MMCA) branch in Seoul, Korea with the help of a team of UW graduates and students affiliated with F_RMlab.

The installation was recently featured in a Vogue Korea shoot that showcased the spaces and artwork of the new museum (as well as a flowing Gucci gold wrap dress and other ensembles).
