abstract: For this solo exhibition Remy Jungerman presents his recent works that consist of a series of wall installations that can be read as altarpieces. Jungerman's recent work is intrinsically related to Afro-traditions and the western modernist art tradition, which embodies his personal relation with the country he was born (Moengo, Suriname) and the country he has been working and living from for the past twenty-odd years. He has shown a strong fascination for the esthetics and underlying values of Afro-religion and ritual elements of the traditional Maroon culture in Suriname and its Diaspora. At the same time he is fascinated by contemporary western art traditions and forms of communication. Therefore a part of his work also focuses on global citizenship, 'glocal' issues and the effects of globalization on today's society.
