'Come and See' at DHC/Art Canada

 

MONTREAL - DHC/ART Foundation for Contemporary Art presents 'Come and See'. This is the first major exhibition in North America created by British artists Jake and Dinos Chapman.

 

The Chapmans’ varied and multidisciplinary practice grapples with a wide range of themes including morality, religion, sex, death, philosophy, the history of art, and consumer culture.

 

This large-scale exhibition, displayed in DHC/ART’s two locations, presents a wide survey of the Chapmans’ art work: sculpture, painting, drawing, printmaking, film, literature, and installation offer a riotous immersion into the horror and hilarity that inhabits their world.

 

The Chapman Family Collection (2002) parodies traditional museum displays and ethnographic museal practices. This selection of bronze sculptures merges the fetishization of ethnographic objects with McDonald’s characters to reveal the underlying hypocrisy of globalization, colonialism, and commercialization.

 

Named after Elem Klimov’s 1985 film, Come and See provides an opportunity to display an impressive array of works by these prolific artists. Above all, it is an invitation to keep our eyes open, to bear witness, to question and, perhaps, even to delight.

 

Jake (b. 1966, Cheltenham) and Dinos (b. 1962, London) Chapman were nominated for The Turner Prize in 2003. They have exhibited their work extensively since the 1990s, including recent solo exhibitions at SongEun ArtSpace Museum, Seoul, and PinchukArtCentre, Kiev (both 2013); The Hermitage, St Petersburg (2012); and Tate Liverpool (2006).
