Striped Canary is a collaborative art practice founded by Stephen B. Nguyen and Wade Kavanaugh. The duo's work is known for its immersive, large-scale installations made of paper and wood that engage the physical space in which they are installed. Nguyen and Kavanaugh first met in 2004 in Brooklyn, NY, where they were studio neighbors. They began collaborating shortly thereafter, and their work has since been exhibited in museums and galleries across the United States and internationally.[1] Striped Canary's first work, "Striped Canary on the Subterranean Horizon," was created at The Maproom in Portland, Maine. The installation transformed the entire space by using brown Kraft paper to mimic geologic strata and layers of earth. It was in that first work that the duo defined their work as existing at the intersection of real and imagined space.[2]
Striped Canary's work has been praised for its ability to transform architectural spaces and engage viewers on a visceral level. The duo's installations often blur the line between art and architecture, creating immersive environments that encourage exploration.
Nguyen and Kavanaugh's work has been commissioned internationally, including at The Center for Maine Contemporary Art in Rockland, ME, Mass MoCA in North Adams, MA, The Sharjah Art Museum in the UAE, and The Bentway in Toronto, CA.
