Remy Jungerman - Where The River Runs

Remy Jungerman. Where the River Runs is the first comprehensive monograph on the work of Remy Jungerman. In his work Suriname-born Dutch artist Remy Jungerman (1959) searches for a visual language that will bring different cultures together. His recent work is inextricably bound up with African traditions and the Western, modernistic art tradition. He is interested in the intersecting paths travelled by motifs from Africa, the Surinamese Maroon culture, and 20th century Modernism. By exploring the convergence of patterns and shapes from these seemingly disparate cultural landscapes, he reveals the distillation of time and identity. The following international critics have contributed to the book: Remco de Blaaij, Ingrid Braam, Leontine Coelewij, Roel Hijink, Charlotta Kotik, Charl Landvreugd, Adi Martis, Tumelo Mosaka, Jose Manuel Noceda, Rob Perree, Sally & Richard Price, Benno Tempel, Joseph Underwood, Vincent van Velsen and Lilly Wei.
