Bernie Miller
Bernie Miller

Where art and architecture converge, Bernie Miller creates uncanny urban creatures that surprise the passer-by in city settings, or the spectator in a traditional gallery space. His bizarre objects reveal invisible structures that govern the edification of high places for ordinary consumerism, such as the infamous “shopping centre”. “Collision Monuments etcetera” presents four premiered sculptures: the encounter of a stereo speaker with a washing machine or that of a television and a refrigerator. Given an exhibition in which convergence, encounter, and collision all arise – all embodying a form of dual relationship, of interplay between two elements – a dialogue immediately seemed to be the most suitable way to explore Bernie Miller’s artistic propositions.
