Published in paperback to coincide with a major solo show, Brian Jungen showcases the celebrated artist's exquisite works. Winner of the inaugural Sobey Art Award in 2002, Canada's largest prize given to an artist under the age of 40, Brian Jungen has been acclaimed for producing evocative work that transforms ubiquitous consumer items into inventive sculptural forms, often linking his First Nations heritage to issues of cultural identity and the global economy. This visually stunning book is the first to chronicle the oeuvre of one of Canada's most compelling young artists and includes essays from five internationally respected curators plus an interview with the artist himself. AUTHOR: Daina Augaitis has been Chief Curator/Associate Director at the Vancouver Art Gallery in Canada since 1996. She has edited anthologies and written numerous catalogue essays and articles. She lives in Vancouver, British Columbia. ILLUSTRATIONS: 180 images
