This release, titled KAWS:HOLIDAY SPACE, is a celebration of 20 years of the KAWS Companion and an extension of the KAWS:HOLIDAY rollouts in Seoul, Taipei, Hong Kong, Japan and now, its fifth stop in space. Using a sounding balloon, the KAWS:HOLIDAY SPACE was sent up 41.5km into the stratosphere, and took a two hour zero gravity walk before retuning to Earth. “So many projects have been cancelled this year. I wanted to create one that could be experienced safely from home,” says KAWS. “Because this year marks 20 years since I created COMPANION, I tried to find a way around all the restrictions and do something special. I felt so confined the past few months that creating a project like this has really given me a chance to escape.”
