From the Cedars Union:
“The Cedars Union invites you to tour Flesh & Bone, a site-specific collection of works in the historic Boedeker Building by Community Member Erika Jaeggli. The work is the culmination of on-site research made in this Dallas historical landmark during the months of November and December 2020. In Flesh & Bone, Jaeggli considers the living body in relationship to the building’s history and the inhabited world. All that remains of this 100-year-old former ice cream factory are the “bones” made from calcium carbonate materials, the same substance that makes up our own bones. The installation is made up of small and large moments created using translucent fabric, rope, vinyl, found objects, and paintings created from the building’s dust, paint flakes and dirt as pigment. The work is a meditation on the connective tissue between our bodies, time, and the world. It is a reflection on how our experience on earth is temporary, porous and visceral. Erika Jaeggli’s work consists of paintings, sculptures, and installations that address subjects of gender, environment and mortality. Her work has been shown in Texas, California, Maryland and Missouri. She is currently a second year MFA student in Drawing and Painting at University of North Texas.
The Cedars Union is a nonprofit art incubator located in the Cedars neighborhood of Dallas, Texas. It operates two adjacent spaces: the Boedeker and the Annex. Its main operating space, the Annex, provides private and shared studios for over 30 artists. The Boedeker, a century old warehouse, houses staff offices and hopefully the future home of an expanded Cedars Union. In the fall of 2020 Erika Jaeggli joined The Cedars Union as a Community Member artist and found herself investigating this building.
Due to the condition of the building and COVID-19, this work is available to view by invitation and private viewing only between 2pm and 5pm, Thursday through Saturday from January 7th to 30th. Please schedule by emailing CU Marketing and Program Manager Adrienne Lichliter-Hines at [email protected]. “
