Notes


Shannon Bool is renowned for her unconventional use of materials in works that upend authoritative histories by blending elements of art history and popular culture. In this collage series, she fuses images of horses with image fragments of brutalist and modernist architecture. The series is a play on photomontages made by Italian architect, designer, and photographer Carlo Mollino (Italy, 1905–1973), who added large images of horses to photographs of the Equestrian Club of Turin that he designed, most likely to convey ideas of strength and progress that modernism was intended to evoke. In Bool’s works, the architecture is subsumed within the body of the horse, making the creatures appear as an absurd amalgam of elements that deflate the symbolism and power associated with both animal and architect. 

Shannon Bool’s work has been included in exhibitions at the Museum für Moderne Kunst Frankfurt (2017); White Cube Gallery, London (2017); the National Gallery of Canada (2017); and the Metropolitan Museum of Art, NY (2016). Her work is held in the collections of the Museum für Moderne Kunst, Frankfurt; the Metropolitan Museum of Art, NY; the Lenbachhaus, Munich; the National Gallery of Canada; and the Musée d’Art Contemporain de Montréal, among others. Her work was featured in the 2023 MoCP exhibition, Shannon Bool 1:1.
