- Summary:
- Hans Ulrich Obrist Hear Us surveys the recent work of internationally recognized Canadian artist Bill Burns. From illustrations to sculpture, installation and photography, these multimedia works marry Burns' life-long fascination with nature-his artistic career arguably born of early experiments in documenting the wildlife around him-and a witty critique of the contemporary art world, its systems and the powers that govern it. A humorous and ironic autobiographical text from Burns himself-a first-person account that tells the story of the artist, through a series of formative episodes in his life and career-supports his illustrated art works. Further contextual essays are provided by Jennifer Matotak, the Director/Curator of the Dunlop Art Gallery, and Stuart Reid. Director and Curator of Rodman Hall Art Centre; Havana-based art critic and curator Dannys Montes de Oca Moreda: Dan Adler, author and associate professor of modern and contemporary art at York University in Toronto; and Berlin-based writer Jennifer Allen.
