About the Item
I am interested in how we collectively construct history through artifacts such as monuments and portrait bust. These devices are tools for constructing dominant historical narratives that are often accepted as truths, when in fact they are highly subjective representations that are fragile and subject to change. Shared histories are a means of constructing identity, a process that is in constant flux: facts are forgotten, edited, omitted and (re)discovered in an ongoing process of constructing history. Marx (bubblewrap) is an exploration of materials and process as a device for subverting the authority of monuments. The piece was created by wrapping an existing portrait bust of Karl Marx in bubble wrap and the casting the resulting form in bronze. The work is part of an ongoing series that can be understood as a subversion of the symbols of western culture, a literal defacement of a hero in a gesture that confronts historic narratives and highlights the fragility of ideology.
