The sculpture
of Karl Unnasch illustrates the harsh beauty where natural
and human-made worlds collide. He demonstrates this
relationship by juxtaposing desire and repulsion. Evident
in his synthetic miniature landscapes such as Domestic
Disturbances, he reconditions an abandoned stove
to create a vignette of surreal contemplation. Salvaged
objects and a dead skunk are selected as the foundations
for his pieces. The fantastic setting examines the notion
of beauty and the unpleasant realities of death. Visitor’s
come upon the stove as they walk along the woodland
path.
In addition to Enchantment, Karl Unnasch’s
work is currently on view in Move, Rochester
Art Center, Rochester, MN (through June). Other 2004
exhibitions include Urban Vignettes, The Artists
Foundation, Boston, MA; Tactical Interventions,
MASS MoCA, North Adams, MA, and For the Birds,
Artspace, New Haven, CT. He has participated in artist-in-residency
programs and been awarded several grants. |
