Overview
The Future is Unwritten, 2003, two-part mixed media installation
Like an ongoing conversation Jubelin’s work always connects to previous projects and marks the journeys that objects make through the world and the history that accrues to them. Composed of fragments of existing works and current investigations spread over two houses, em>Unwritten and The Future is Unwritten, situate ‘a kind of stream of consciousness horror vacui mosaic’ in a contemporary global context referencing modern urban design, architecture and place. Her work acknowledges that any notion of modernism has been fraught with dislocations, constantly changing and reinterpreting how the work comes to be received in one place or another. As a consequence, the location of the work is very important but is, as always, a question of interpretation.
This project was part of Sharjah Biennial 9
