New James Carl Sculpture: On view now at TrépanierBaer is a new work by James Carl. Titled thing’s end (03 bronze), its shape is derived from a rubber band: a simple and everyday object the artist has revisited through out his practice. Carl introduced the first iteration of his thing’s end series at a retrospective exhibition at the University of Toronto in 2008 where he handmade hundreds of small rubber band look-alikes out of polymer clay. Carl has re-presented the concept in large scale public works such the monumental painted steel sculptures thing’s end (Eau Claire – red) and thing’s end (Eau Claire – yellow), both dated 2020, and located in the lobby of the Eau Claire Tower in Calgary, Alberta.
thing’s end (03 bronze) is cast in one piece, and is a single continuously curling band with three flexed loops, overlapping as if ready to spring, but poised in a moment of balance. It is a delight to see and experience.
