The Schirn Kunsthalle Frankfurt is presenting a location-specific installation by Monster Chetwynd (b. 1973) in its public Rotunda. The artist achieved fame with her exuberant and humorous performances using handmade costumes, props, and settings. Her works are often absurd and full of joie de vivre; they refer to popular culture or iconic works from art history.
The above is from an e-flux mailing. When I first saw the words "Monster" and "Chetwynd" together I had to grimace, because everything I have heard about the resource extractive B.C. town of Chetwynd has been ... monstrous! Most recently, this.
