Atsuhide's opened a temporary museum The Moon Museum of Dustology in Copenhagen, Denmark in 2013 as an outcome for an artist residency. The museum consisted of objects, a mock lecture, a performance, a diary, photographs, films and activities. More recently he collected dust from the British Pavilion at the 56^th Venice Biennale as a part of his performance work and the residue of the performance will be shown at IMT Gallery, London (2015).  His recent exhibitions include a single person exhibition at Galería Saro León, Spain (2010) and a group exhibition entitled Inscription: The Almshouse Tempera Project in Nottingham in which the medium of tempera painting will be investigated (2015). He was selected as one of artist-in-residents for “Mark Rothko 2010”, Daugavpils, Latvia (2010). As a curator he curated Minus One featuring 30 international artists at disused Aldwych Underground Station, London (2004). More recently his work has begun to focus on the issue of nuclearity, dust and the post-medium condition. He deploys interviews, re-enactment and painting as his strategic mediums.
