BRIAN JUNGEN: Carapace

BRIAN JUNGEN: Carapce documents one of Brian Jungen’s largest works, Carapace. Initially created in early 2009 for the FRAC des Pays de la Loire, France, Jungen then completely reconfigured Carapace for his solo exhibition at the Smithsonian National Museum of the American Indian, Washington, in the summer of 2010. In January 2011, for the Art Gallery of Alberta, Edmonton, Jungen created a new and ultimately final configuration of Carapace. Following the close of the exhibition, the plastic recycling bins that were used to construct Carapace were re-formed into slipcovers for the special edition of the publication.

The Murder of Crows

Featuring artists’ Janet Cardiff and George Bures Miller and their explorations into the experience of the sculptural and physical qualities of sounds. This 98 speaker sound and mixed-media installation explores trauma – both collective and personal – through a sequence of narrative fragments tied together by recorded music, song, voices and other sounds.

The Murder of Crows publication was produced to complement an exhibition at the Art Gallery of Alberta, January 29 – May 9, 2010.

Includes text Carolyn Christov-Bakargiev and a DVD.

REARVIEW MIRROR

REARVIEW MIRROR: New Art from Central & Eastern Europe is a large thematic exhibition that brings together the work of a new generation of artists from Central and Eastern Europe. Looking both to the past and to the future, the works by the 22 artists in the exhibition engage post-conceptual strategies and forms, and collectively challenge accepted notions of Eastern Europe as a social, political and art historical monolith.

Published in conjunction with the exhibition REARVIEW MIRROR: New Art from Central & Eastern Europe, curated by Christopher Eamon and co-presented by the Art Gallery of Alberta (January 28 – April 29, 2012) and The Power Plant, Toronto (July 1 – September 5, 2011).
