Je ne sais si c'en est la cause..., is a solo show at the MATRIX program at the UC Berkeley Art Museum where the new piece of the same name was recently on view.
The piece is around the wherabouts of the hurricane-hit Grapetree Bay Hotel in the Virgin Islands (above), and the Daniel Buren murals that still lay half destroyed in the premises. An essential part of the slide piece is a soundtrack comissioned to Mario Lopez Landa.
I recently made an interview about it for the Art in America website. And it was a Critic's Pick on Artforum.com. In that same weblog Open Letter to Dr Atl (2004) -an erlier piece which very much informed the Je ne sais... (2006-2008)- is also talked about iin a recent post.
Contradictory Licit Registry (on the right) is a piece from 2002 which I had not seen in a long time. It belongs to the (Jonathan) Monk Family Collection. It is now on display at the exhibition space of the collection Haubrok in Berlin in Connected Things Collected -a show curted by Monk and which make connections between the two collections. Here the piece is displayed along what I belive is Edgar Arcenaux's Morgan Fisher's Peugeot, 2006. In another room Untitled (Ceramica Suro) from 2003 is displayed along some Ian Wilson circle pieces.
