Shout even Gently, 2013
"The found object has held a particularly strong presence in Brey's sculptural practice. [...] Since 2009, Brey has been developing this practice through a body of work entitled [Inside Out], which presents itself in the form of boxes. Assembled and closed, they lead you to believe that what lies inside should be archival materials. When each is opened from the top-lid and disassembled -so that its walls, sometimes in several cocooning layers, drop down to its sides -what is revealed is a richly layered ecosystem of materials, surfaces, objects, raw elements, books, prints, and drawings."
