  • Zarina Bhimji
    Zarina Bhimji ‘My work is not about the actual facts but about the echo they create, the marks, the gestures and the sound. This is what excites me.’ Zarina Bhimji Landscapes and buildings bearing the traces of time are the protagonists in British artist Zarina Bhimji’s poetic photographs and large-scale film installations. Devoid of any human presence they are intentionally open-ended and ambiguous. This first major survey exhibition traces 25 years of Bhimji’s career. It opens with two seascapes taken in Zanzibar and a selection of images from the Love series (1998–2007), which were shot in Uganda. The photographs are grounded in meticulous research but, like much of Bhimji’s work, are distanced from historic and political specificity. The premiere of Yellow Patch (2011), Bhimji’s ambitious new film shot on location in India, takes centre stage in Gallery 1. This is complemented by the artist’s debut filmOut of Blue (2002), an arresting visual journey across Uganda, which is on view in Gallery 8 upstairs. Two early commissions are presented together here for the first time:She Loved to Breathe - Pure Silence (1987), an installation of photographs suspended from the ceiling above a field of spices, and Cleaning the Garden (1998) which is made up from photographs, light boxes and mirrors. Zarina Bhimji was born in Mbarara, Uganda in 1963 to Indian parents, and moved to Britain in 1974, two years after the expulsion of Uganda’s Asian community under the dictatorship of Idi Amin. She was nominated for the Turner Prize in 2007.

  • An Unremitting Yet Gentle Point of View
    Press Release Zarina Bhimji Berne, 30.05.2012 01.06. – 02.09.2012 An Unremitting yet Gentle Point of View In collaboration with the renowned Whitechapel Gallery in London, the Kunstmuseum Bern is presenting the first retrospective on British photographer, filmmaker, and installation artist Zarina Bhimji. With a criticism marked by gentleness and a poetic touch, Zarina Bhimji tackles the complex subjects of migration, globalization, and post-colonial history. The artist was born in 1963 as daughter to parents of Indian descent living in Uganda, where she grew up until Idi Amin’s expulsion of the country’s Indian minority. Zarina Bhimji completed her art studies in London. She has been invited to participate in many international group exhibitions and was nominated for the Turner Prize in 2007. A poetic search for traces of the past Zarina Bhimji’s work is strongly marked by her personal experiences of exile and her diverse cultural background. Her poetic films and photographs are documents of her search for traces of the past. The artist constructs fragmented narratives by interweaving personal experience and intuition with facts concerning the countries of her origins and their post-colonial history. In doing so, she formulates a subjective view of the present situation in three continents (Europe, Africa, Asia) and unveils the complex entwinement of culture, ethnicity, and politics. In her art, Bhimji does not articulate her bonds to Africa, India, and Europe by way of accusations, political analyses, or blame. Instead she engages with locations and landscapes related to her background while exploring their beauties. Emotional honing in on truth Bhimji addresses history and truth via poetry and beauty.

  • On Fabric of Protest, Terra/Nina Edge and Turner Prize 2007, Alex
    A Side. B Side. Double AA Side. On Fabric of Protest, Terra/Nina Edge and Turner Prize 2007. Alex Hetherington Site and Tate Liverpool, Albert Dock, Liverpool, Merseyside L3 4BB Give sympathy for the 7” vinyl record: two recordings bound by alienated separation; bound together by a conjoined synthetic whole. A Side is the main attraction, glistening with pop pulling power, B side a sonic shadow, a slighter song waiting for airplay, waiting for the needle to touch, to stimulate its resonance. The vinyl recording is a metaphor for duality and the interchangeable, inhabits its own vocabulary of hierarchies, is its own mechanism imbued with codes of manufacturing, modernity, consumerism and the moment. It is a continuous sonic cloth, labouring under the scrutiny of a virulent yet passive needle. This text hopes to conjoin in a similar way two different yet totally analogous exhibitions recently or currently on view at the Albert Dock in Liverpool, England. Fabric of Protest at Site and in particular the work Terra by Liverpool-based visual artist Nina Edge, and the Turner Prize 2007 featuring Mark Wallinger, Nathan Coley, Mike Nelson and Zarina Bhimji, which in celebration of Liverpool’s Capital of Culture 2008 has been installed at the city’s Tate Gallery, its first presentation outside of London in its 24-year history. Fabric of Protest, curated by John Byrne, and Paul Domela of JMU and Liverpool Biennial articulates a kind of ‘menace’ of textiles, the burgeoning meaning of surface, decoration, material and dress whether political, religious or domestic. It assembles a group of artists interested in the concoction of controversies, implications and separations that surround the vocabulary of worn and adorn.

  • From Politics to Poetry Zarina Bhimji in Conversation with Achim Borchardt-Hume and Kathleen Bühler
    Media Kit Zarina Bhimji From Politics to Poetry 01.06. – 02.09.2012 Zarina Bhimji in Conversation with Achim Borchardt-Hume and Kathleen Bühler From Politics to Poetry Zarina Bhimji in Conversation with Achim Borchardt-Hume and Kathleen Bühler Achim Borchardt-Hume: What drives you to make the work you make and what drives you to give it the form that it takes; what is that relationship? Zarina Bhimji: I don’t know fully. Working as an artist, I am interested in lots of different things: anthropology, sociology, painting, poetry, history and so many other subjects. Part of the drive is being able to delve into all these different ways of thinking and to respond to them through my own forms. I do so by way of a set of constellations. Research gives me time to think about ideas of gestures, shapes and light. After this process, a structure for the work develops. I search instinctively for how to form a narrative through aesthetics. The process is like having a toolbox to carefully examine sounds, light, texture, fictional possibilities and what I think of as ‘camera presence’. Kathleen Bühler: What made you decide to become an artist? ZB The idea of making art formed at school through my interests and experiences as I was growing up. I subscribed to the feminist magazine Spare Rib and a few years later I joined the Labour Party. Then I went to Greenham Common Women’s Peace Camp where women were protesting in a peaceful manner. They hung children’s clothes on barbed wire fences, which to me appeared like installations.

  • Anchovy – AH – a Posthumous Conversation About Black
    Artist Donald Rodney was a leading figure in Britain’s BLK Art group of the 1980s. Here, Donald’s artist friend Amanda Holiday, who set up a black artist student group at that time, imagines a conversation with him about black Turner Prize winners and nominees. A Posthumous Conversation about Black Art Amanda Holiday: Donald I want to thank you for taking the time to talk to me today. Donald Rodney: [coughs] Well this is an atypical scenario but typical Amanda Holiday but carry on… AH: Ok introductions first: ‘Donald Rodney who died prematurely in 1998 was a key figure in Black British political art in the 1980s.’ DR: Thank you. What year are we in now? AH: 2018. DR: Yo! AH: You may remember a conversation we once had, when you were in hospital once… DR: King’s. AH: King’s yes. It was a lament. You wondered whether we would ever live to see a black Turner Prize winner. DR: I remember that. I did not. AH: There was of course Anish Kapoor in 1991. 26 | A POSTHUMOUS CONVERSATION ABOUT BLACK ART | AMANDA HOLIDAY DR: He’s not black. AH: [laughter]. How did I know you would say that? He may not self-define as such – but we’re not going to get bogged down here. DR: Anish Kapoor is a wonderful and brilliant artist but the pigment he’s concerned with is not skin. His art is not into all this ‘hoo haa’ [laughter]. Not black politics. He’s about the market. AH: We’ll come back to that – wait till I tell you about Vantablack.I DR: Who’s she? AH: [laughter] Vantablack – the absolute blackest black pigment ever.
