User:Jef Bourgeau

Jef Bourgeau founded Detroit's contemporary museum, the Museum of New Art (MONA), in 1996.

Self-portraits in the guise of a group exhibition, American artist Jef Bourgeau is an inveterate storyteller. The fictions that he weaves extend outward from the objects of his art and "museum" — video, sculptures, paintings, photographs, and music — to express his own artistic persona. Self-representation or, more accurately, Bourgeau’s staging of a collective self, constitutes a significant component of his practice — a component that is largely performative and indirect.
