For this new solo exhibition Carlos Bunga creates a transient cardboard structure in the 30-foot-high Koski Gallery in the Museum’s third floor. Beginning and ending as a dialogue with the existing architecture, this installation will transform the gallery’s spatial configuration for the duration of the exhibition. Using light as a conceptual starting point, and building on James Turrell’s influence, Bunga sculpts light, something that cannot be touched but rather felt viscerally, as the artist expounds.
Accompanying this site-responsive structure, Bunga presents a selection of photographs, videos and paintings which further showcase the notion of light as a physical and phenomenological element, as well as a metaphor for reflection and hope in his broader practice.
The post-installation phase of Bunga’s artistic practice allows him to reflect on the physical and spatial constraints that may hinder his creative process and conceptual scope. Bunga’s transformative installation and poetically resonant images invite visitors to consider how...we shape and are shaped by our surroundings, to contemplate their ephemerality and to attend to light in a time of darkness.
This exhibition is organised by the Sarasota Art Museum of Ringling College of Art and Design and curated by Rangsook Yoon, Ph.D., senior curator at the Sarasota Art Museum.
