Here are some images from the Chong Gon Buyn exhibit at the Invisible Dog Art Center in Brooklyn. The exhibit is part of the Crossing the Line art festival I discussed in a previous post. Buyn is a mixed media artist who "gives found and discarded objects new meaning by using them to create sculptures and assemblages that explore the clash between post-industrial civilization and the present consumerist culture."
I don't quite get how post-industrial civilization and present consumerist culture clash with each other, and I didn't see that theme reflected in the artwork (pre-industrial vs. consumerist culture maybe, but not post-industrial). Nevertheless there were a lot of really cool pieces that reminded me of Obscura Antiques and Oddities. See for yourself in the slideshow below:
