Brian Jungen's Verfremdungseffekt: Strange Comfort at the National Museum for the American Indian

Canadian artist Brian Jungen has achieved international fame for taking mass-produced goods—plastic chairs, gas cans, basketball sneakers—and transforming them into intricately wrought pieces that resemble First Nations art objects. Displayed in the Smithsonian's National Museum of the American Indian, Jungen's pieces produced a Brechtian Verfremdungseffekt.
