CURATOR’S CHOICE
Eric Fagervik
The Cube
June 11 to September 3, 2011
Curated by Craig Willms, Kamloops Art Gallery
Curator’s Choice is the seventh annual exhibition of work by students graduating from Thompson Rivers University. Selected by Kamloops Art Gallery Assistant Curator Craig Willms, Curator’s Choice highlights some of the talent from TRU’s Bachelor of Fine Arts graduating class.
Eric Fagervik’s installation is the second version of an actual camper recreated for The Cube at the Kamloops Art Gallery. The work draws attention to sensory experiences and physical awareness of the body’s position in space. Sitting down, opening an overhead compartment and simply entering the space triggers different actions within the camper. Changes in sound, light and motion are evident, so take some time to observe the surroundings. Entering The Cube from the far entrance reveals the exterior of the camper and a behind the scenes look at the mechanisms that control the inner working of the structure.
