  • Memories of Europe in the Art from Elsewhere Andreas Huyssen
    Memories of Europe in the Art From Elsewhere Andreas Huyssen At a time when the boundaries of European citizenship are challenged from both the inside and the outside, those boundaries cannot be equated with the imaginary boundaries of European memory. The rights to citizenship are usually defined administratively and politically. European memory cannot be. It cannot be culturally fortressed. For what is European memory if it does not include memories of Europe’s role in the world at large? It must reciprocally acknowledge the memories of Europe as they circulate elsewhere, and now even inside Europe itself. Some years ago, conference titles such as “Europe and its others” abounded—still fundamentally Eurocentric in spirit, with its possessive pronoun and the globalizing discourse of othering. Then the language changed, acknowledging the implicit problem and turning to phrases such as “Europe in other cultures.” The altered phrasing recognizes counterstrategies of writing back to Empire: Europe itself was being othered by “its” others, or as Dipesh Chakrabarty has called it, provincialized.1 From my point of view both perspectives are inadequate today in capturing how the imaginary relationship between Europe and non-European parts of the world is structured in the work of contemporary artists. It is particularly the transnational and by now globally extant discourse of political memories of violence, state terror, and genocide that has produced artistic memory practices in which the European and the non-European are indissolubly folded into each other. Neither the discourse of othering nor that of provincializing makes much sense any longer. Of course the national has never lost its hold in the world of politics and cultural imaginaries.

  • Fondation Beyeler
    FONDATION BEYELER Press release Daros Latinamerica Collection 21 February to 27 April 2014 With Daros Latinamerica one of the leading international collections of contemporary Latin American art will be a guest at the Fondation Beyeler. The exhibition will present a concentrated selection of works by renowned contemporary artists from various countries in Latin America. In his work, the Argentinian painter Guillermo Kuitca repeatedly concerns himself with the representation of architectonic spaces and geographical places to which he gives his own poetic interpretation. This includes measurements on all scales that range from maps and city plans to outlines and plans of venerable buildings. “For me the map was the instrument for getting lost, not for finding myself.” (Guillermo Kuitca, 2006). Through his choice of colour and the use he makes of contrasts, overpainting and blurring, Kuitca succeeds in making a map seem like a woven textile or an arterial network. He heightens that ambivalence of location and imagination in a series of paintings in which mattresses provide the pictorial support. In that way, he recognises the bed, or to be more precise the mattress, as the immediate territory that he occupies and inhabits. The interaction between places, things and human beings is also a theme in the sculptures of the Colombian artist Doris Salcedo. Chairs, cupboards and tables are torn from the context in which they were originally used and formed into new sculptural structures by being placed inside or stacked on top of one another or even by being filled with concrete. Despite or perhaps because of this loss of function, these hybrid furniture objects are particularly evocative of lost or destroyed homes and homelands.

  • Nomura Presents US$1 Million Nomura Art Award to Renowned Colombian Artist Doris Salcedo
    News Release Nomura Presents US$1 Million Nomura Art Award to Renowned Colombian Artist Doris Salcedo – Largest Cash Prize in Contemporary Visual Arts, Announced at a Gala Ceremony in Shanghai, Will Support Doris Salcedo in Undertaking Her Next Major Project – Tokyo/Shanghai, October 31, 2019—At a gala dinner and ceremony held this evening in Shanghai, China, Nomura announced that the winner of the first annual Nomura Art Award is the renowned Colombian artist Doris Salcedo. The largest cash prize in contemporary visual arts, the US$1 million Nomura Art Award is given by the decision of an independent, international jury to an artist who has created a body of work of major cultural significance. To help this artist take on new challenges and embrace change, the prize money is used in whole or in part to support an ambitious new project that the winner did not previously have the means to realize. Nomura’s heritage of engagement with the arts dates to the company’s founding in 1925 by Tokushichi Nomura II, an avid practitioner of the tea ceremony and supporter of Noh theater. The company today connects markets in the East and West through an integrated global network spanning more than 30 countries. In the spirit of its long legacy of encouraging and nurturing creativity, Nomura established the annual Nomura Art Award in 2019. In announcing the award, Hajime Ikeda, Senior Managing Director of Nomura, said: “We offer this Award to Doris Salcedo in recognition of the deeply meaningful and formally inventive body of work she has created over the past quarter of a century.
