...seem more extravagant than a papal tiara. But to move from that recognition to something deeper--that's where an artist comes in handy. Something deeper is what Jungen does well. You can see just how well all through the smart, stimulating and sometimes laugh-out-loud-funny survey of his work that just opened at the Vancouver Art Gallery (VAG). There are more than 40 pieces in this show, and even the fanciest snowboard is no match for the least of them...
...Turkey and the U.S. are traditional allies, but relations have been tricky since the onset of the Iraq war, when Turkish M.P.s refused to allow U.S. troops to use Turkey to launch their invasion.
