Smiljan Radić: Bestiary

Getting a book published apparently does wonders for an architect's media visibility in Japan: Chilean world-beater Smiljan Radić's recent appearance on the shelves of select Tokyo bookstores is now followed by this feature exhibition, where you can dive deep into the distinctively hallucinogenic style of an architect who’s created several extraordinary structures in his home country. Subverting the normal into the unusual, Radić here shows off his 'Bestiary' series through models and sketchbooks, inviting the viewer to ponder the motivations hidden behind the Santiago-born artist's almost organic-looking curves and columns.
