uden navn
Cincinnati,
OH – December 10, 2001 – Kendall Bruns’ audio work, “Homo sapiens correctus,”
has been selected as the title audio track to the second edition of Publikation
uden navn, an international collection of conceptual art. An opening
reception for the publication’s release was held on November 28th at i-n-k
(institute for contemporary art - www.i-n-k.dk)
in central Copenhagen.
“Homo
sapiens correctus” explores the philosophical arguments and emotional state
of individuals who consider practicing the controversial, illegal and fringe
act of trepanation. The audio work was inspired by an article in Spin Magazine
in May of 1998, and is a quirky combination of lyrics and rhythms that approximate
a song-like quality.
Selection
and participation in Publikation uden navn brings international exposure
and recognition to the work of Kendall Bruns.
