James Carl
jalousie
22 November 2008 to 17 January 2009
Opening Saturday 22 November from 5 to 8
Diaz Contemporary is pleased to present new work by James Carl, in his first commercial solo exhibition in Canada. Carl is known for his uncommon use of common materials. In this series of works, his exploration of the material world takes on new visual form.
jalousie is the working title for a series of sculptures that Carl began making in 2005 in Paris. The works are constructed from venetian blinds - referred to as "jalousie" in colloquial French and German. As with much of Carl's work, these sculptures explore the possibilities for visual encounter: probing the normal, the moral, and the all-too-common, in a spirit of compliance and conversation.
In conjunction with this exhibition, the first major survey of Carl's work will be exhibited at three galleries. Entitled do you know what, this survey will be shown at the Justina M. Barnicke Gallery at the University of Toronto (22 November to 25 January), the Cambridge Galleries Queen's Square (17 January to 1 March) and the MacDonald Stewart Art Centre in Guelph (17 January to 22 March).
