Reconstructions


  • Center for Contemporary Arts 220 Cypress Street Abilene, TX, 79601 United States (map)

Reception: July 19, 5-7 PM

Reconstructions is an immersive art installation by Bryan Vause brought into being by pulling places and scenes from the artist's memory and recreating them using only second hand cardboard and duct tape. The gallery consists of cardboard sprawling from the walls and floor, giving a loose border to each scene. Within these sections are objects pertinent to each scene constructed imperfectly but with intent.

This installation brings seven scenes from the artist's memory into an immersive space, giving viewers the opportunity to step into a facsimile of the areas they were inspired from. The imperfect nature of the construction materials seek to mirror the imperfection of recollection, and the fallibility of memory. The spaces themselves range from intimate living areas to dreamlike mixtures of objects and beckon the viewer to inspect the construction of each location
