About the work

Carlos Bunga has created two silkscreen and paper collage works to accompany his Whitechapel Gallery exhibition, Carlos Bunga: Something Necessary and Useful (21 January – 6 September 2020).

These two editions are a continuation of Bunga’s ongoing series of drawings and works on paper titled ‘Nomads' which portray hybrid figures carrying architecture in the place of their heads.

Bunga’s work shifts between the architectural spaces of house and city and a more personal psychic space. His evolving installations of everyday and domestic materials explore how we experience and necessarily coexist with the built environment.

For Bunga architecture has the ability to influence and mould us to believe in utopias, where a fictional reality seems possible. This ecosystem produced between people and buildings is one where we are constantly left learning to adapt to the transitory. Bunga reflects on the nature of living in more than one place, of travelling back and forth. He says "our society is a nomadic space. I feel I´m nomadic too."

About the artist

Carlos Bunga (b. 1976 Porto) attended the Escola Superior de Arte e Design in Caldas da Rainha in Portugal. He currently lives and works near Barcelona.

Bunga creates site-specific installations using mass-produced materials such as cardboard, adhesive tape, and household paint. Responding to their settings, these ephemeral structures recall theatre sets, architectural models, as well as temporary shelters. Through his work, Bunga invites the viewers to rethink their experience of painting, objects and architecture. By giving equal importance to the creation, movement and destruction of the work, he also evokes the transient and fragile nature of urban structures, and the traces of his works bring to mind dispossession and the symbolic potential of ruins.

Westie LOVES this toy
Color: U.S.A, Size: Medium
My pup (Westie) adores this toy. This is actually our second one. The ball itself is resistant but the straps will be obliterated. Would definitely recommend! Totally worth the price!

Not durable
Color: Black/White, Size: Large
If you have a dog who likes to pop things then this toy isn't it. Within 5 min she had this ball popped. It was made to sound like it was durable for this type of thing but it definitely is not so just be aware. Now if you have a dog who doesn't pop things easy then this would be a good toy

WHAT I LEARNED
Color: U.S.A, Size: Medium
i AM NOT SURE THAT 4 STARS IS A FAIR SCORE, MY DOG IS AN AGGRESSIVE CHEWER, NEEDLESS TO SAY WITHIN 2 DAYS ALL THE TABS WERE OFF, BUT THERE WERE NUBS LEFT AND SHE CAN USE THAT. HERE IS A WHAT NOT TO DO, BRING IT TO THE DOG PARK, THEY ALL HAVE A BLAST BUT IF YOUR A BULLY/PIT MIX AND DECIDE TO SINK THEIR TEETH INTO IT, IT DOES DEFLAT. LESSONS LEARNED STILL A FUN TOY.
