About
Artist Statement:
Everywhere we look in today’s world, we are bombarded by messages. Street signs, logos, advertisements, texts, emails. An endless stream of communication: important, insignificant, and everything in between. They are all demanding of our time. Alpha is no different. It demands of one’s time as much as any other stimuli confronting us throughout our days. Its messages may be necessary, or they may not be. This can only be determined through an investment of time: focused attention from the viewer to decipher and differentiate Alpha’s multiple messages and their meanings.
Like many of Trevor Waurechen’s installation works, Alpha is more than an artwork in itself. It is also a display system for proprietary artworks and messages, uniquely communicated through the language and limitations of the work. For Lumen, Alpha will present a reflection on its own meaning and purpose, and that of art, language and communication.
