This summer, TRAPP PROJECTS presents Cameron Kerr: Collecting the Unconscious, curated by Patrik Andersson and hosted by Griffin Art Projects. On view from June 20th to August 23rd and an Opening Reception on June 19th from 6-8pm, this exhibition presents works by the artist exploring vernacular image systems, memory and canonical forms in a variety of mediums, including sculpture, painting and photography. This solo exhibition proposes that there is a collective unconscious at play in the processes an artist engages in and correspondingly, in the way collectors collect.
TRAPP PROJECTS was initiated by Andersson in 1997 as a curatorial platform on which to introduce local and international artists to as wide an audience as possible, while not being limited by the mandates of traditional exhibition spaces. Over the years, this project has led to collaborations with a wide range of people and spaces to highlight both emerging and established practices. Griffin is delighted to host TRAPP in its space, launching a unique collaboration between the two organizations that reflects in dynamic new ways on Griffin’s mandate to investigate themes of contemporary art collecting.
In this exhibition Cameron Kerr gives form to the complexities of grasping truth of material, truth of information and truth of ideas. If, as Friedrich Nietzsche once pointed out, “Truth is a mobile army of metaphors, metonyms, and anthropomorphisms,” in Kerr’s work we find a search for universals that in the end remind us that truth is not objective but rather a collection of subjective human constructs. This new work is shown alongside a curated selection of work by Kerr drawn from local private collections.
