Kabuki Trouble is a digital exhibition created on Occupy White Walls powered by KULTURA Ex Machina and StikiPixels. Through an examination of the CSM Museum and Study Collection archives, explicitly focusing on Kabuki Theatre ukiyo-e prints, the curatorial team has curated a selection of 30 objects from the collection.
This virtual exhibition seeks to explore the performativity of material wealth conveyed through makeup and costume, shedding light on how Kabuki theatre ukiyo-e prints played a pivotal role in commodifying these plays by their continuously reproduced materiality.
No longer restrained to the traditional boundaries of physical exhibition spaces, the power of games and online platforms is harnessed, challenging the very essence of the art world.
To explore the virtual exhibition space, download Occupy White Walls from STEAM and visit the dedicated exhibition area.
