Brian Jungen January 30 to March 14, 2026 part of the group show “Arrows” at Catriona Jeffries Gallery 950 East Cordova Street Vancouver, BC open Wednesday to Saturday from Noon to 5pm “Five Minutes” is a special feature of this channel. The video focuses on one artist and talks about the work for about five minutes or so. This video looks at the work of Brian Jungen, part of a group show titled “Arrows” at Catriona Jeffries Gallery. An excerpt from the press release: “For much of human history, the arrow has served as an extension of force - no longer limited by arm’s reach but instead projected as far as the eye can see. In “The Way of the World” (2024), Brian Jungen repeatedly pierces an 18th century French colonial table with arrows. All shafts run parallel to one another, as if rained straight down, forming a dense thicket of wooden vanes sprouting multicoloured feather fletchings, with carbon steel points buried within the tabletop like roots beneath the surface. In this way, these arrows may signify seeds planted long ago now coming into bloom, a figurative reversal of centuries of systemic violence inflicted upon Indigenous peoples, or an arrow of time launched forward only to arc back upon itself. Complicating this entanglement is the status of the arrows’ fletchings: plucked from exotic birds whose movement, both as living creatures and as cultural materials, are highly regulated by governments internationally. Such protections, while oriented toward conservation, also preclude Indigenous practices that rely on the cultural, spiritual, and legal significance of feathers. Jungen’s deployment of them here evokes the unequal application of conservation, underscoring what is preserved and what is buried.” For more information and web links, please visit ... https://catrionajeffries.com
