For HYPEBEAST Japan<\/a>\u2018s latest installment of Invite Only, AMBUSH<\/a> co-founder VERBAL<\/a> guides viewers through all five of the Daniel Arsham<\/a> x Pok\u00e9mon<\/a><\/em> \u201cA Ripple in Time\u201d exhibitions currently taking place in Tokyo.<\/p>\n The journey starts at Roppongi Hills, where large bronze Pok\u00e9mon<\/em> sculptures are installed outdoors for public viewing. \u201cThese are based on the concept of \u2018Future Relic,\u2019 which Daniel envisions as being found in 3022, 1,000 years ahead of our time. There\u2019s something impressive and thought-provoking about the idea of unearthing a central part of our culture in the future, like this Pikachu for example,\u201d says VERBAL.<\/p>\n Next is \u201cHidden Within the Tall Grass,\u201d which sees white Daniel Arsham x Pok\u00e9mon<\/em> sculptures displayed alongside Teppei Kojima<\/a>\u2018s Bonsai creations. \u201cIt\u2019s amazing that some Bonsai have been around for hundreds of years, and with Daniel also thinking on a time span of 1,000 years, this seems like a great harmony,\u201d VERBAL exclaims,\u00a0 noting that some Bonsai are as old as 500 years.\n<\/p>\n Arsham\u2019s recently released Pok\u00e9mon<\/em> short film<\/a> can be viewed on the big screen at Nanzuka Underground<\/a>, and an eroded bronze Mew and Japanese gravestone engraved with Pok\u00e9mon<\/em> card graphics are shown at the Nanzuka 2G<\/a> exhibition which sells exclusive co-branded merchandise including vintage-style overalls, track caps, and keychains.\n<\/p>\n Last but not least, the tour ends at 3110NZ<\/a>, a sushi restaurant run by LDH kitchen. The space is a gallery by day and restaurant by night designed by Snarkitecture<\/a>, an architecture design unit Arsham is part of. Archive Arsham drawings of Pok\u00e9mon<\/em> figures that later manifested into physical sculptures are displayed along the gallery walls.\n<\/p>\n Take a look at VERBAL\u2019s full walk-through video above. For those currently in Tokyo, all exhibitions mentioned are now open for visitors.
