Article on contemporary Canadian artist Brian Jungen. What is the difference between a divinity and a pair of Nikes? Apparently none, or at least that’s what Brian Jungen would have you believe with his works and he succeeds very well in his aim if we think of the importance of athletes as heroes of our times and sneakers as the cult objects of metropolitan tribes. Let us not forget that Nike owes its name to the homonymous Greek divinity, the goddess of victory. And so it all begins to make sense.

Abstract
Article on contemporary Canadian artist Brian Jungen. What is the difference between a divinity and a pair of Nikes? Apparently none, or at least that’s what Brian Jungen would have you believe with his works and he succeeds very well in his aim if we think of the importance of athletes as heroes of our times and sneakers as the cult objects of metropolitan tribes. Let us not forget that Nike owes its name to the homonymous Greek divinity, the goddess of victory. And so it all begins to make sense.File in questo prodotto:
