two turntables digital video on dual screen projections (2002)
Nestor Kruger's work often deals with realities and fictions, and recently with natural and virtual nature. His first digital video project, two turntables, was shown at The Power Plant last summer. The installation involved two projections of 100 Linden trees, each one synthetically created using an inexpensive software program.

Nearer My God To Thee acrylic on canvas 36 x 48" (2000-01)
Kent Monkman's Prayer Languages series addresses the effects of Christianity on Aboriginal sexuality. Erotic images of men wrestling are barely discernible beneath layers of Cree syllabics that were resurrected a century ago by an Anglican missionarly in Manitoba and used to transcribe church hymns. It is not clear whether the figures are embracing or fighting. They are, perhaps, a metaphor for conflicting ideologies.
