DESCRIPTION
This bulletin accompanied two exhibitions: Charles Campbell's Transporter, and Out of Print, curated by Kevin Rodgers
Citation preview
In the exhibition Transporter, Charles Campbell looks at the contradictory forces of ‘attraction and repulsion’ that motivate human movements, as well as the notion of complicity and agency that act within it. The exhibition combines forms such as the geodesic dome, indicative of ideas of a rational utopia, with images suggestive of repression, freedom, labour, conflict and economic subjugation.
An evolving body of work, Transporter has been recently exhibited alongside academic conferences (Human Traffic: Past and Present at Duke University, 2011), at Artist-Run Spaces in both Canada and abroad, as well as in public performative events (Alice Yard, Trinidad and Tobago). Modern Fuel, in collaboration with Open Space in Victoria, will publish a catalogue documenting Transporter.
Charles Campbell has exhibited widely in North America, the Caribbean, and Europe, representing Jamaica and Canada in events such as the HavanaBiennial and the Brooklyn Museum’s Infinite Islands exhibition. He is an active
participant in the growing Caribbean contemporary arts scene as both an artist and a writer and is a regular contributor to ARC Magazine, a Caribbean arts journal.
His recent work investigates the nature of time and concepts of the future using sculpture, performance and painting. He holds an MA in Fine Art from Goldsmiths College and currently lives and works in Canada.

In the exhibition Out of Print, Modern Fuel’s Artistic Director Kevin Rodgers explores the collection of print material in the Nan Yeomans Resource Library. Due to the diligent collecting of material by past board members and staff, the Resource Library has many unique and difficult to find items. Out of Print utilizes a range of local and national artists’ books, catalogues and printed matter to address issues of format, circulation and distribution.
