ブルックリン美術館さんのインスタグラム写真 - (ブルックリン美術館Instagram)「Nari Ward’s (@nariward) layered and evocative sculptural practice takes shape from found, and often discarded, objects. Ward draws on Jamaican folk art traditions of repurposing and reimagining new forms from unexpected materials. In Crusader, a shopping cart acts as a chariot, an old chandelier as its prow, and a ring of used gas cans encircles a tall, curved cocoon made of interlaced plastic bags. The gas cans and applied tar extract point to oil as fuel for energy, and of global conflict and change. The shopping cart references social and material instability at home, given their use by unhoused people for mobile storage. Though Crusader sits silently when installed in a gallery, it was once navigated by the artist, poised within the shopping cart’s protective shell, through the streets of New York City, its subtle rattle competing with the sounds of Harlem. #ReflectionsontheCaribbean ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Starting September 9th, come view this work, along with other videos from the Brooklyn Museum’s collection, in an upcoming outdoor #SunsetScreenings series—stay tuned for details!⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Nari Ward (Jamaican, born 1963).
