Brian Jungen

Forgot to mention another artist at the Tate Modern i was impreesed by - Brian Juhgen.He is part of a younger generation of artists amid an active scene in Vancouver,Canada.Born to a First Nations Mother and a Swiss-Canadian father this dual heritage with the tensions and links between aboriginal traditions,pop culture and cosumerism,often provide the themes and subject matter for his art.For the Tate he has a giant large red flag made up of found material which was what impressed me mvery tactile and thought provoking.




Details about the artist is at http://www.tate.org.uk/modern/exhibitions/jungen/default.shtm ,and there is an interview with him (as a PDF file) at http://www.tate.org.uk/modern/exhibitions/jungen/Brian_Jungen_interview_web.pdf .
