While we all practice social distancing, it’s important to still have a COMPANION by your side. That’s why, ahead of his 2021 solo exhibition at the Brooklyn Museum, KAWS has teamed up with Acute Art to launch an augmented reality edition of his instantly recognizable COMPANION (EXPANDED) sculpture, ready to be enjoyed safely at home. Now through April 15, download the Acute AR app for free and place the special edition AR sculpture wherever you are, exploring it from all angles, just as you would do with a physical work by KAWS. Be sure to share your photos using #expandedholiday. While in the app, you can also go on a virtual tour of everywhere else COMPANION has visited, with placements ranging from São Paulo to Melbourne, London to Tokyo.
