A building that is more than 100 years old, as this building is, conceals many histories. The building has had many lives and residents. It is now an exhibition space for art. We opened a door and then a box. This is what we found. [img]http//www.artcurrents.org[/img]


Unearthed is an extended project that might last for a year, that uses a relatively simple device -a human skeleton- in order to instigate a much wider series of responses and relationships.

The object is a departure point, Unearthed re-examines the strategy of presenting an object inside of textual concept. The object is an imperfect and flawed, but basic “life” model found in all art departments and medical schools. It is a plastic artifact. It is a model, the basic sculptural form, our hidden physical structure that is used as a device that mirrors or reflects the ultimate human condition. The key concerns of the project are the issues of the human condition, hidden structures in our lives and art, private and public worlds, and relationships with the larger institutional framework, trade and globalization, art and science.

Unearthed is also a delivery mechanism for projects such as video and writing to be presented.
