Janice Kerbel (1969)

Description

1969, Canada, lives/works in London.
Kerbel’s work relies on a stock of secrets, lies, repetitions and codes that are meant to be unravelled and to lead to belief and trust. Her projects often have to do with making daydreams concrete, such as The Bird Island Project (2000 - ), a website offering holidays and houses on a fictitious tropical island. In ON PATROL she shows the work Bank Job (1999) a perfect blueprint for a bank raid. Kerbel has exhibited in Vancouver and Toronto and was included in Post Neo Amateurism (1998), a group show curated by Unit at Chisenhale Gallery, London. In 1999 the ICA in London showed her work in Crash!.
