Musee departemental d'art contemporain, Rochechouart

The Artist as Hunter. A set of paintings as well as photographs, prints, films and several installations, one of which is a diorama


sintesi del comunicato stampa

Monkman's Cree Indian roots inform a multi-disciplinary practice which encompasses performance, video, large-scale and sometimes musical installations, re-vamped versions of historical painting and new takes on early photography. In the guise of his unbridled and eccentric alter ego, Miss Chief Eagle Testickle, the artist uses poetry and humour to appropriate and refashion preconceived colonial ideas of American Indian culture and in the process, produces a body of work that constantly examines issues related to difference. The exhibition "The Artist as Hunter" particularly focuses on questions of identity and challenges to power structures, both key elements of Monkman's art. Included are a set of paintings as well as photographs, prints, films and several installations, one of which is a diorama. They are to be displayed throughout Rochechouart castle, occupying areas such as the castle tower or the Hunt Gallery, where 16th-century wall paintings of a stag hunt echo the political and belligerent dimension of Monkman's own productions. Opening Night 26th June at 6.00 p.m.
