Description
Carlos Bunga's sculptural and painterly structures propose architecture as body and mindscape. Using only cardboard and paint, Bunga creates fantastical buildings, furniture-like sculptures and paintings as immersive environments. This book surveys his actions and performances, and documents over a decade of installations. Enacting cycles of construction and destruction, Bunga explores states of dispossession and nomadism; the nature of spatial experience; and the creative and symbolic potential of ruin. With essays by Iwona Blazwick, Carlos Bunga, Nuno Faria, Ins Grosso and Antony Hudek. AUTHOR: Iwona Blazwick has been Director of the Whitechapel Gallery London since 2001. SELLING POINT: . A beautifully designed and comprehensive monograph about a key contemporary European artist 143 colour, 12 b/w images
