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.

Quality good, price not.
Size: 2 Count (Pack of 1)
I guess that's what you get for not having a mainstream HP brand printer like everyone and their brother

Not their finest hour
Size: 2 Count (Pack of 1)
Well, the printer ink is OK as always, but, the order arrived late. I guess 2 day shipping is a thing of the past with Amazon.

Expensive but the best
Size: 2 Count (Pack of 1)
So expensive for this ink. I must admit however it’s also the best out there. If they took away all of the advertisement on the package and just shipped simple it might be less expensive to the consumers. I don’t need all the jazz. Just the performance is all I am interested in.

It's Expensive
Size: 2 Count (Pack of 1)
I bought the Epson printer that this ink goes with because it (the printer) was highly rated. Once I got it, I don't agree with the rating but that is for another review. The ink is perfectly fine and expensive which all ink cartridges are. One just pays what one has to.
