Shannon Bool joins us from Berlin, Germany for a discussion about The Shape of Obus.
Bool’s recent practice takes on many forms, including tapestries, silk paintings, collages, sculptures, and photograms. Her work gravitates around a central theme: a critique of Modernism through unconventional material processes, combined with her own interpretation of psychoanalytical concepts.
The Shape of Obus is organized by the Musée d’art de Joliette and curated by Anne-Marie St-Jean Aubre.
