About the work

Carlos Bunga has created two silkscreen and paper collage works to accompany his Whitechapel Gallery exhibition, Carlos Bunga: Something Necessary and Useful (21 January – 6 September 2020).

These two editions are a continuation of Bunga’s ongoing series of drawings and works on paper titled ‘Nomads' which portray hybrid figures carrying architecture in the place of their heads.

Bunga’s work shifts between the architectural spaces of house and city and a more personal psychic space. His evolving installations of everyday and domestic materials explore how we experience and necessarily coexist with the built environment.

For Bunga architecture has the ability to influence and mould us to believe in utopias, where a fictional reality seems possible. This ecosystem produced between people and buildings is one where we are constantly left learning to adapt to the transitory. Bunga reflects on the nature of living in more than one place, of travelling back and forth. He says "our society is a nomadic space. I feel I´m nomadic too."

About the artist

Carlos Bunga (b. 1976 Porto) attended the Escola Superior de Arte e Design in Caldas da Rainha in Portugal. He currently lives and works near Barcelona.

Bunga creates site-specific installations using mass-produced materials such as cardboard, adhesive tape, and household paint. Responding to their settings, these ephemeral structures recall theatre sets, architectural models, as well as temporary shelters. Through his work, Bunga invites the viewers to rethink their experience of painting, objects and architecture. By giving equal importance to the creation, movement and destruction of the work, he also evokes the transient and fragile nature of urban structures, and the traces of his works bring to mind dispossession and the symbolic potential of ruins.

Needs to be Re-designed
I will update this rating depending on the outcome of my customer service/support experience. At this time, I cannot recommend this product. Although it’s marketed for ATV use, it does not withstand the realities that come with ATV riding. The snaps on the straps securing the front of the shade come undone with nearly every bump, making the shade unstable and frustrating to use. On our second trip out with it after about 3 hours of riding, the shade collapsed on me entirely. Initially, I thought the rear hooks had come loose, but to my surprise, the roof frame itself had snapped in half on both sides. I’m still unsure how this even happens. The metal completely snapped right where the roof poles bend in a U. Very odd. It forced us to remove the shade completely and carry it on the back of the quad for the rest of the ride since it was not functional anymore. Given this is only the second time we had even used it I would not recommend anyone purchase this product which is so unfortunate as living in AZ I had very high hopes for this product, as the concept is excellent, but it needs significant reinforcement to handle the rough terrain and constant movement involved in off-road riding and at this time I requesting a full refund and until this company revisits the design to make it sturdier and more reliable I will not consider purchasing again.

It’s much more rigid than you might think.
The brackets did not fit the range of diameters that it said it would. Is pretty doofus when you lay it down backwards. It is however, more rigid than you might think. It works for me. I like it. Of course I can change things. I like the exterior fabric and I like the vinyl undercoating. I suspect it’s going to be waterproof as well. Now that I know, I’m not going to lay it down. I’m going to order a second one for my wifes quad, which is even narrower than the minimum they call out. 39.4”.

Great customer service
Stong headwind caused front straps to pop off and broke/bent frame. They replaced frame tubes with no hassle! Very impressed!

As shown
Nice kit. Simple to assemble, simply packed, good weight for the metal and the shade cloth. Actual width between attachment points is 44 inches. Tubing goes together with those push button things like on aluminum table legs. Priced commensurate with quality.

Very ridged!
I put this on my can am outlander 850 and it was not a hard job to install it. Shade cloth is nice and so far holding up good to what I put it through. Tubing has the push buttons so putting it all together is pretty easy. I had to make some clips myself to get the install right but it was no big deal. 5 stars!!
