As described by ECC, the exhibition is “…a group show that seeks to document the diversity of contemporary art in today’s world, aiming to feature and combine different expressions from visual artists, galleries, as well as photographers, sculptors, institutions, and universities, that break away from any ideological, political and geographical barriers. Considering the complex dynamics of our global society, Beyond Boundaries was chosen as the guiding title for the seventh edition of Personal Structures.”

Birdseye’s entry, called “UNTITLED,” is made from acrylic and the deconstructed cardboard models and paper drawings from the 27 years of practice by Birdseye’s Principal Architect Brian J. Mac, FAIA. The acrylic case is accompanied by a video display showing a timelapse of the creation of the artwork.

This plexiglass box, along with its contents, sends our own imagination back to Indigenous Peoples placing their dead on the high branches of ancient trees. To images of funeral pyres on the shores of the Ganges. Or to Columbarium walls in Italian and French cemeteries, with their neat, gridded rows of the earthly remains of lives much like our own.”
