The book Bruce is in the garden; so someone is in the garden is a survey of the work of Sean Kerr since the early 90s. Known for his employment of technology to make astute-fraught-bitten-comic situations, object-entities and good-natured affronts, he has also made a large and influential body of work in sound, installation, video and 2D formats.
This major publication has been lead and interrupted by the artist, making the resulting book a strange monograph–artist’s book hybrid. It includes writing by Jan Bryant, Zita Joyce + Adam Willetts, Tessa Laird, Emma Bugden, Andrew Clifford, Jon Bywater and an interview by Tobias Berger, it also features an extensive pictorial chronology of his gregariously varied practice.
Bruce is in the garden; so someone is in the garden was produced as a parallel project to the 2010 exhibition of Kerr’s work, Sean Kerr: Bruce danced if Victoria sang, and Victoria sang: so Bruce danced, curated by Emma Bugden and Andrew Clifford at Artspace, Auckland and the Gus Fisher Gallery at the University of Auckland. Both publication and exhibition projects have received major funding from the University of Auckland’s Elam School of Fine Arts Research Fund.
Texts by Jan Bryant, Zita Joyce + Adam Willetts, Tessa Laird, Emma Bugden, Andrew Clifford, Jon Bywater and Tobias Berger.
