This sculpture was created in Mexico and will shortly be brought across the border into the US to find it's initial resting place; a journey also made by many migrants. Carreon's David Reincarnated, through its journey to the US,D will highlight the experiences and issues faced by contemporary migrants while also reminding of the extent to which David experienced banishment, exile and migration.
The journey of David Reincarnated will be documented and can be followed on the instagram accounts of Carreon and his manager Benjamin Greenfield. Their posts will also be "accompanied by an unconventional armament of academic, curatorial and theological expertise and insights from: Dr Ori Soltes, Professor Georgetown University, Professor Bryan Keene, Manuscript Curator Getty Museum" and myself, "all of whom have written essays about Louis' David Reincarnated".
To read more about Carreon's work and David Reincarnated see my interview with the artist for Artlyst and the recent Forbes article on his work.
