"Jacqueline Fraser: A Portrait of the Lost Boys"
2001-10-05 until 2002-01-13
New Museum of Contemporary Art
New York, NY,
USA
For her first New York exhibition, Jacqueline Fraser creates a walk-through
installation of fabric, wire figures, and printed text. This elaborate
architectural structure is made with pink, black, and brown fabrics, with a
progression of eleven full-height female wire figures alongside the
wire-sculpted heads of young boys.
The beauty and fragility of the materials
contrast sharply with the harsh subject matter of the work. Through the
story of the premature death of a local New Zealand boy, accompanying texts
address the disenfranchisement of youth in society today. Jacqueline Fraser
represented New Zealand in the 2001 Venice Biennale.
Organized by Anne Barlow. The exhibition is made possible with the support
of the Consulate General of New Zealand.
