Varujan Boghosian
Flag Trouble

2006

About the Item

Varujan Boghosian was a sculptor, assembler, constructionist, and builder as well as a beachcomber, scavenger, collector, historian, and conservator. His work was inspired by the past, and by his appreciation for the lives and legacy of the myths, people, and objects that have come before us all. Boghosian gathers the relics of our common experience and from them creates tributes to the universal and limitless creative spirit. By dislocating and repositioning, Boghosian is able to explore the nature of identity and to create new syntheses and new conditions of meaning from items that have seemingly been removed from the possibility of ever transmitting new values or ideas. This mixed media collage is patriotic and ominous, historic and prescient. Boghosian created it in 2006, fifteen years before the events of January 6th, 2021. The work stands as an example of how the meaning of an artwork can transform with the times.
