COME PART MENTAL : an exhibition by Floria Sigismondi
September 14 to October 28, 2001
| The Museum of Contemporary Canadian Art
is pleased to present COME PART MENTAL: an exhibition by
Floria Sigismondi, taking place in our galleries from September 14 to October
28, 2001. Toronto/New York-based artist Floria Sigismondi is internationally
recognized in the world of pop-culture for the innovative and eccentric music
videos she has created for Marilyn Manson, David Bowie, Bjork and Robert Plant,
among others, in addition to Redemption,
a hardcover volume of her photographic work published in Germany in 1998.

The exhibition at
MOCCA will include a selection of Floria’s popular photographs along with
recent installations, sculptural objects, videos and photographs. Despite the
wide range of media, the thematic current that connects all of her work is the
persistant, and often troublesome relationship between humans, nature, science
and technology, and the implications these relationships may have on the future
of our species. These concerns are particularly resonant in our current era of
accelerated technological development, body modification and medical, genetic
and biotech research.

COME PART MENTAL will be Floria Sigismondi’s first major solo exhibition in Canada.

In order to find ourselves we must destroy ourselves. The
human race craves the experience. - Floria Sigismondi
A public reception celebrating COME PART MENTAL: an
exhibition by Floria Sigismondi will take place at the Museum of Contemporary
Canadian Art on September 14, 2001, from 6:00 to 9:00 pm. The artist will be
present
