Filmmaker Saodat Ismailova traces stories of spirituality, dissent, and environmental extraction around the Aral Sea from post-Soviet Uzbekistan and Central Asia, via Melted into the Sun (2024). Uzbekistan is at the crossroads of diverse material histories and migratory legacies. Part of ‘Central Asia' - first defined by the Prussian geographer Alexander von Humboldt in 1843 - the region was governed by the Uzbek branch of the Soviet Russian Communist Party in the 20th century, until the Union's collapse in 1990. As one of the first generations of post-Soviet Central Asian contemporary artists, Saodat Ismailova often draws on shared traditions and transnational connections with groups including Uyghurs in China, to Arabic communities further west, distinguishing between migration and displacement in her practice. From her documentary, Aral: Fishing in an Invisible Sea (2004), to her more recent works on Chillpiq, we discuss the cultural importance of water in this double landlocked country; the Aral Sea, now the Aral Desert, was one of the world's largest lakes until the Soviet government steadily diverted its water sources, reducing it to 10% of its original size. Her most recent film focusses on Al-Muqanna (The Veiled One), an 8th century textile dyer and alchemist who became a ‘protosocialist' political revolutionary in now-Iran. We consider the syncretism of religions and faiths including Islam, Zoroastrianism and Mazdakism, Buddhism, and Christianity, as evidence of cosmopolitan coexistence within empires, and how this figure was appropriated in 20th century communist propaganda. Saodat shares her interests in oriental classical music, and improvision within maqam and raga, as living archives ‘deadened' by notation, alongside archaeology, and the number 40. We discuss her collaborative practice with Davra Collective at documenta in Kassel. From her first residency with Fabrica, to her participation in the Venice Biennale in 2013 as part of the Central Asian Pavilion, Saodat explains her long connection with Italy, ‘the start of her life in Europe'. Saodat Ismailova's film, Melted into the Sun (2024), is on view as part of Nebula, produced by Fondazione In Between Art Film, which runs at Complesso dell'Ospedaletto in Venice until 24 November 2024.

Welcome to the first of our episodes from the 60th International Art Exhibition - La Biennale di Venezia.Today, I am delighted to hand the mic to my dear friend the arts writer Dale Berning Sawa, who met with John Akomfrah at the preview of The British Council commission Listening All Night To The Rain. You'll also hear from me in this episode and Dale shares a reflection on her first Venice experience and conversation with the artist on this special occasion. You can also enjoy Dale's review of Listening All Night To The Rain and images from the exhibition, in Shade Art Review. today.Listening All Night To The Rain continues artist and filmmaker John Akomfrah's investigation into themes of memory, migration, racial injustice and climate change with a renewed focus on the act of listening and the sonic. The exhibition, conceived as a single installation with eight interlocking and overlapping multi-screen sound and time-based works, is seen as a manifesto that encourages the idea of listening as activism and positions various progressive theories of acoustemology: how new ways of becoming are rooted in different forms of listening. Encouraging visitors to experience the British Pavilion's 19th century neoclassical building in a different way, Akomfrah's commission interprets and transforms the fabric of the space in order to interrogate relics and monuments of colonial histories.John Akomfrah initially came to prominence in the early 1980s as part of the Black Audio Film Collective (BAFC), a collective founded in 1982. An early film by BAFC, titled Handsworth Songs (1986), explored the events around the 1985 riots in Birmingham and London. In recent years, Akomfrah's work has evolved into ambitious, multi-channel installations presented in galleries and museums worldwide. In 2017, he won the Artes Mundi prize, the UK's biggest award for international art. He has previously participated in the 58th Venice Viennale with Four Nocturnes, commissioned for the inaugural Ghana Pavilion in 2019, and Vertigo Sea (2015) as part of the 56th International Art Exhibition. The British Council commission Listening All Night To The Rain at the Venice Biennale 2024 runs from Saturday 20 April to Sunday 24 November 2024.

Talk Art live at the Venice Biennale, presented by Burberry. Recorded at the St Regis Library, we meet leading artist Sir John Akomfrah CBE RA and Tarini Malik, the curator of the British pavilion 2024.The British Council is delighted to present Listening All Night To The Rain by John Akomfrah at the 60th International Art Exhibition of La Biennale di Venezia 2024.The exhibition runs from 20 April to 24 November 2024.Exploring post-colonialism, environmental devastation and the politics of aesthetics, Listening All Night To The Rain is Akomfrah's boldest and most ambitious commission to date.The exhibition draws its title from 11th century Chinese writer and artist Su Dongpo's poetry, which explores the transitory nature of life during a period of political exile. Organised in a series of song-like movements, or ‘cantos', the exhibition brings together eight interlocking and overlapping multimedia and sound installations into a single and immersive environment that tells stories of migrant diasporas in Britain. It is the result of decades of extensive research by the artist and his team, using historical records to contextualise our experience of the present day.Listening All Night To The Rain weaves together newly filmed material, archive video footage and still images, with audio and text from international archives and libraries. The exhibition tells global stories through the ‘memories' of people who represent migrant communities in Britain and examines how multiple geopolitical narratives are reflected in the experiences of diasporic people more broadly.Each gallery space layers together a specific colour field, influenced by the paintings of American artist Mark Rothko, in order to highlight the ways in which abstraction can represent the fundamental nature of human drama.Listening All Night To The Rain positions various theories of acoustemology: the study of how the sonic experience mirrors and shapes our cultural realities. Akomfrah draws on an acute acoustic sensitivity influenced by a variety of formative experiences, from protests to club culture in 1970s-80s London. Each of Akomfrah's ‘cantos' is accompanied by a specific soundtrack, which layers archival material with field recordings, speeches and popular and devotional music. Extending the sense of hybridity in the filmic collages, Akomfrah's use of sound encourages us to consider the breadth of cultural identity in Britain more broadly.Follow @Smoking_Dog_Films, @AkomfrahJohn @TariniMalik, @BritishArts Presented by @BurberryThanks @Lisson_Gallery and @LaBiennaleLearn more at Lisson: https://www.lissongallery.com/artists/john-akomfrah Hosted on Acast.

Artist Yinka Shonibare CBE RA, and Hans Ulrich Obrist and Tamsin Hong of The Serpentine Galleries, coat London's historic statues and public monuments with fresh layers of history. For over 30 years, Yinka Shonibare CBE RA has used Western European art history to explore contemporary culture and national identities. With his iconic use of Dutch wax print fabric - inspired by Indonesian batik designs, mass-produced in the Netherlands (and now China) and sold to British colonies in West Africa - he troubles ideas of ‘authentic' ‘African prints'. Painting these colourful patterns on his smaller-scale replicas of sculptures of British figures like Winston Churchill, Robert Clive, and Robert Milligan, he engages with contemporary debates raised in Black Lives Matter (#BLM) and the toppling of slave trader Edward Colston's statue in Bristol. Suspended States, the artist's first London solo exhibition in over 20 years, puts these questions of cultural identity and whiteness, within the modern contexts of globalisation, economics, and art markets. Wind Sculptures speak to movements across borders, other works how architectures of power affect refuge, migration, and the legacies of imperialism in wars, conflict, and peace today. With his Library series, we read into Wole Soyinka, Bisi Silva, and canonised 17th, 18th, and 19th century artists like Diego Velázquez, focussing on Yinka's engagement with Pablo Picasso, modernism, and ‘primitivism'. Hans Ulrich Obrist and Tamsin Hong highlight the connection between the Serpentine's ecological work, and Yinka's new woodcuts and drawings which consider the impact of colonisation on the environment. As a self-described ‘post-colonial hybrid', Yinka details his diasporic social practices, including his Guest Project experimental space in Hackney, and G.A.S. Foundation in Nigeria, and collaborations with young artists and researchers like Leo Robinson, Péjú Oshin, and Alayo Akinkubye. Yinka Shonibare: Suspended States runs at the Serpentine Galleries in London until 1 September 2024. Yinka is also an Invited Artist, and participant in Nigeria Imaginary, the official Nigerian Pavilion, at the 60th Venice Biennale, which runs until 24 November 2024.

Artist Zineb Sedira records cultural and postcolonial connections between Algeria, France, Italy, and the UK from the 1960s, featuring films, rugs, and radical magazines from her personal archive. Dreams Have No Titles (2022) is Zineb Sedira's love letter to cinema, the classic films of her childhood in Paris, coming of age in Brixton in London, and ‘return' to Algiers - three cities between which the artist lives and practices. Born in 1963, the year after Algeria achieved independence from French colonial rule, her and her family's diasporic story is central to her practice. Zineb recalls her first encounters with 'militant cinema', and international co-productions like the Golden Lion-winning The Battle of Algiers (1966). She shares her decision to represent France at the 59th Venice Biennale in 2022, controversial reactions from French media and society, and solidarity from her radical contemporaries and women, like Françoise Vergès, Sonia Boyce, Latifa Echakhch, Alberta Whittle, and Gilane Tawadros. We discuss the legacy of her work in the selection of Julien Creuzet, the first person of Caribbean descent and from the French overseas territories to represent France at the Venice Biennale in 2024. Zineb shares how personal histories contribute to collective memory, subverting ideas of ‘collection', and using museum and gallery spaces to make archives more accessible. With orientalist tapestries and textiles - her ‘feminist awakening' - we discuss how culture can both perpetuate political and colonial hierarchies, and provide the possibility to ‘decolonise oneself'. From her academic research in the diaspora, Zineb suggests how she carried much knowledge in her body as lived experience, detailing her interest in oral histories (and podcasts!), as living archives. With Nina Simone, Miriam Makebe, and Archie Shepp, performers at the Pan-African Festival in Algiers (1969), she shows her love of jazz and rock music, played with her community of squatters and fellow students from Central Saint Martins. Finally, we see how the meaning of her participatory works change as they travel and migrate between global audiences, and institutions and funding in Algiers today, via aria, her research residency for artists. Zineb Sedira: Dreams Have No Titles runs at the Whitechapel Gallery in London until 12 May 2024. A free Artist and Curator Talk (with some of Zineb's ‘tribe') takes place at the Gallery on 11 April 2024. and the film version of the work shows at Tate Britain in London until September 2024. Zineb Sedira: Let's Go On Singing! ran at the Goodman Gallery in London until 16 March 2024.

Manuela Lucá-Dazio is the newly appointed Executive Director of the Pritzker Architecture Prize. In this capacity, she works closely with the jury, however, she does not vote in the proceedings. She is the former Executive Director, Department of Visual Arts and Architecture of La Biennale di Venezia, where she managed exhibitions with distinguished curators, architects, artists, and critics to realize the International Art Exhibition and the International Architecture Exhibition, each edition since 2009. Preceding that, she was responsible for the technical organization and production of both Exhibitions, beginning in 1999. She holds a PhD in History of Architecture from the University of Roma-Chieti, Italy and lives in Paris, France.“I think history and tradition are super important, and this is the point because each generation is sort of translating to the next one. There is almost never a gap. So each generation is in a way interpreting and hopefully also adding something to what is transmitted and continued. And so this is why I think the younger generations now have tools that we didn't have at their age. They are probably able to interpret. And now we go back to the whole discussion about the necessity for sustainability and attention to social and environmental injustice. They probably have a vision or perspectives that we don't have. So in a way, in this transmission, we should be able to learn from them too.”www.pritzkerprize.com www.pritzkerprize.com/jury#jury-node-2236 www.labiennale.org/enPhoto credit: Anselm Kieferwww.creativeprocess.info www.oneplanetpodcast.org IG www.instagram.com/creativeprocesspodcast

Manuela Lucá-Dazio is the newly appointed Executive Director of the Pritzker Architecture Prize. In this capacity, she works closely with the jury, however, she does not vote in the proceedings.

Preceding that, she was responsible for the technical organization and production of both Exhibitions, beginning in 1999. She holds a PhD in History of Architecture from the University of Roma-Chieti, Italy and lives in Paris, France.“So for me being born in a place like Naples helped me absorb and to be constantly open and curious about other cultures, simply because they were part of my own culture. So it's a challenging city, I must say. And it's incredible how you more easily communicate with other people when you are in a place that you feel is a public place, but it belongs to you. It belongs to everyone. It's a space for the community. So this was the first lesson that I learned studying architecture because then you start to read the places in a more organized, scientific way. And I think maybe this dimension passed into my DNA.So from my point of view, a prize is not just to establish the most beautiful building, the most expensive building, or the tallest building in the world. It's rather to foster the discussion to bring forward critical points to be discussed. To bring forward contradictions, to really enhance the discussion about what is relevant for our society or for society in a specific moment.So this, for me, is the role of a prize, to highlight critical issues and to foster the discussion, to face them, and to find solutions, to find new paths.

“When I started and I had to decide what to do in life - because I was working with museums, in exhibition design, and on the restoration of buildings - and then at some point, I had the chance to arrive at the Venice Biennale and my whole perspective changed. And it changed because I was working with living artists and architects. Until that moment, I was working around Old Masters, works in museums, and things that were there with the aura of history. And all of a sudden I was dealing with living architects and artists, and this was, for me, the most incredible experience. So I decided to leave all the rest, because I was doing quite a lot at the same time, and to concentrate on the Biennale.And the very first lesson I learned is that we are there for the artists. And when I say artists, I mean also architects, of course. There would be no Biennale and probably no institution, no museum, without the artists. And to be able to deal with the artists, architects, curators, let's say the creative part of the process, you have to develop empathy and mutual respect and trust, but also you have to be very flexible and very decisive and firm when necessary. So it's quite easy to say, but it's not so easy to put it into practice, I must say.”Manuela Lucá-Dazio is the newly appointed Executive Director of the Pritzker Architecture Prize.

My mother is of those women who managed the house, our lives, our family. And she's still there with incredible intelligence, curiosity...She reads, and sometimes I have conversations with her about themes that relate to the Biennale, to art, to architecture, and I'm always surprised. How can she know all this? And sometimes there are even things that maybe I, I knew quite confidentially in my job, and I said, 'How did you get to know that? This is not public?' She said, 'Well, I read this in this newspaper, this in the other, and then I put the things together. It's quite clear.' You know, women have this power to analyze, to observe, then to elaborate, and act. I think history and tradition are super important, and this is the point because each generation is sort of translating to the next one. There is almost never a gap. So each generation is in a way interpreting and hopefully also adding something to what is transmitted and continued. And so this is why I think the younger generations now have tools that we didn't have at their age. They are probably able to interpret. And now we go back to the whole discussion about the necessity for sustainability and attention to social and environmental injustice. They probably have a vision or perspectives that we don't have.

Elaine Cameron-Weir, photo by Isabel Asha Penzlien Elaine Cameron-Weir (b. 1985, Red Deer, Alberta, Canada). Elaine Cameron-Weir's contemplative objects made from carefully sourced materials allow us to consider the ways in which artifice and spectacle have been used to perpetuate systems of belief. Her major installation from the most recent Venice Biennale in 2022 invoked sites of provisional operations and religious reflection by transforming the gallery with modular steel subflooring, neon and electric flicker lights, and repurposed objects previously used for military and industrial purposes. In addition to the Venice Biennale, Cameron-Weir recently opened a solo exhibition at Hannah Hoffman in Los Angeles, CA. Other solo shows from the past two years include the SCAD Museum of Art (2022) and the Henry Art Gallery University of Washington (2021). Recently her work was on view at the University of California, Berkeley Art Museum as part of an important exhibition titled “New Time: Art and Feminisms in the 21st Century.” Other select solo exhibitions include "exhibit from a dripping personal collection," Dortmunder Kunstverein (2018); “Outlooks: Elaine Cameron-Weir,” Storm King Art Center, New York (2018) where the artist installed a steel mesh sphere for motorcycle stunts known as “globe of death” on the top of a hill; and “viscera has questions about itself,” New Museum, New York (2017). She has shown both in the U.S. and abroad, in group exhibitions at the Philadelphia Museum of Art; Remai Modern, Saskatoon; GAMeC, Bergamo; FUTURA, Prague; among many others. installation view, The Milk of Dreams, curated by Cecilia Alemani, 59th International Art Exhibition of La Biennale di Venezia, Venice, IT, April 23 - November 27, 2022 Photography by Andrea Rosetti Elaine Cameron-Weir Low Relief Icon (Figure 1), 2021 (detail) US military body transfer cases, aluminum, flicker bulbs, electrical wiring, conveyor belt, pewter, chain, pulleys, aircraft cable, hardware overall dimensions: 281 × 202 × 28 1/2 in (713.7 × 513.1 × 72.4 cm); case with candles: 26.5 × 89 × 28.5 in (67.3 × 226.1 × 72.4 cm) Elaine Cameron-Weir Right Hand Left Hand, Grinds a Fantasizer's Dust, 2021 (detail) concrete textile, funerary backdrop stand, neon tubing, transformers, spot lights, silk gauze 85.5 x 112 x 24 in 217.17 x 284.48 x 60.96 cm
In this episode, Adam and Budi speak with the Director and Contemporary Artist Brook Andrew.Brook's interdisciplinary art practice is driven by the collisions of intertwined narratives, often emerging from the mess of the “Colonial Wuba (hole)”. His practice is grounded in his perspective as an Australian Wiradjuri (Indigenous) and Celtic person. Brook's artworks, museum interventions, research, leadership roles, and curatorial projects challenge the limitations imposed by power structures, historical amnesia, and complicity to center and support Indigenous ways of knowing and being through systemic change and yindyamarra (respect, honor, go slow and responsibility).Brook was the Artistic Director of the groundbreaking First Nations and artist-led “NIRIN,” the 22nd Biennale of Sydney, 2020. Brook's recent works include the theatre script GABAN, premiering in 2022 as a video work, and live performances at YOYI! Care, Repair, Heal, the Gropius Bau, Berlin. International advisor to the Sámi Pavilion at the 59th International Art Exhibition of La Biennale di Venezia 2022; Enterprise Professor, The University of Melbourne, Associate Researcher, Pitt Rivers Museum, Oxford, UK; ARC (Australia Research Council grant) with Dr. Brian Martin: ARC Special Research Initiative for Australian Society, History, and Culture: ‘More than a guulany (tree): Aboriginal knowledge systems'. As the Director Reimagining Museums & Collections role with the University of Melbourne, Brook founded BLAK C.O.R.E, a collective driven by First Nations methodologies, research, and cultural practices focusing on walumarra (protection), yindyamarra gunhanha (ongoing respect) and murungidyal (healing in the museum).

Sanna Almajedi talks to Jad and Tarek Atoui about their experimental music duo, Through Rust and Dusk. The conversation is followed by an excerpt of their performance at e-flux on September 26, 2022 that incorporated improvisation, custom made instruments, field recordings, and electronic sounds. Read more about Tarek Atoui‘s The Whisperers (October 1–December 10, 2022) at Flag Art Foundation here. Jad Atoui is a Beirut-based sound artist and improviser. He composes and performs electronicand electro-acoustic music and has worked with musicians like John Zorn, Pauline Oliveros, Laurie Anderson, Chuck Bettis, and Anthony Sahyoun. During his formative years in New York, Atoui found interest in the New York avant-garde scene. He began working closely with NYC downtown musicians and learning improvised music techniques, while also working at the Stone and the Guggenheim Museum. In 2015, Atoui spearheaded the “Biosonics” project in collaboration with scientist Ivan Marazzi where they used bio-sonification of behaviors as compositional tools. The project was later published in John Zorn's Arcana Book Vol. XVIII and premiered at National Sawdust as part of The Stone's commissioning series. Atoui has given and co-directed workshops at Marfa Sounding, Ashkal Alwan, and Beirut Synth Center, and has been a resident at The Stone, The National Sawdust, Beirut Art Center, Arab Image Foundation, and Sharjah Art Foundation. Tarek Atoui is an artist and composer born in Beirut. His work stems from performance and looks into how sound can be perceived with sensory organs other than the ear, how sound acts as a catalyst for human interaction, and how it relates to social, historical, and spatial parameters. The point of departure for his works is usually extensive anthropological, ethnological, musicological, or technical research, which results in the realization of instruments, listening rooms, performances, or workshops. Atoui has presented his work internationally at the Sharjah Biennial in the United Arab Emirates (2009 and 2013); dOCUMENTA 13 in Kassel, Germany (2012); the 8th Berlin Biennial (2014); Tate Modern, London (2016); CCA NTU, Singapore (2017); Garage Moscow (2018); the 58th International Art Exhibition of la Biennale di Venezia (2019); the Okayama Art Summit 2019; the Sharjah Art Foundation (2020); The Fridericianum (2020); And Pinault Collection (2021). He was appointed co-artistic director of STEIM studios in 2007, and of the Bergen Assembly, a triennial for contemporary art in Norway in 2016. He is the recipient of the Suzanne Deal Booth / FLAG Art Foundation Prize 2020. Tarek Atoui currently lives and works in Paris, France. e-flux music is curated by Sanna Almajedi.
How do we look at, and respond to, work by Black contemporary artists? In this episode, we sat down with Tina Campt, Visiting Professor in Art & Archaeology and the Lewis Center for the Arts at Princeton. We trace the arc of Prof. Campt's career, from her earlier research on family photography in the African diaspora and how one can “listen to images,” all the way to her current writing and recent trip to this year's Venice Biennale. Along the way, we discuss concepts that elucidate the aesthetic, political, and experiential dynamics of work by artists like Jennifer Packer, Cameron Rowland, Stan Douglas, and Simone Leigh.

"Raising the BAAR" in Art, Culture, and Society - Diversity Edit
During this voice bite, Solo the Artist thanks BAAR ART Journey and Residency for posting information regarding Simone Leigh's representation of the United States at the 59th International Art Exhibition of La Biennale di Venezia in 2022. Simone Leigh's "Sovereignty" was focused on Black femme subjectivity. Simone Leigh's Birmingham (2012) was estimated to be worth 150,000 - 200,000 USD and was auctioned off at Sotherby's on May 19, 2022 for 2,167,500 USD. Birmingham was created by Simone Leigh to represent the resilience of Black women and the Church Bombing of 1963, a racially motivated attack that claimed the lives of four young Black girls and was a catalyst for the civil rights movement. This year, Leigh became the first Black woman to represent the United States at the Venice Biennale, winning the Golden Lion for her presentation in the Arsenal. According to Sotherby's Birmingham is a masterful example of Leigh's elegantly defiant exploration of Black female resilience and regality that establish her as a quintessential voice of American art today. About Solo the Artist Solo the Artist is a LA based multidisciplinary artist that was born and raised in Kansas City, MO. Playing basketball in college and then overseas in Denmark gave him essential tools that has been the foundation of his journey. After a career ending injury he then took his passion for storytelling to the screen to become an actor in television and film working on projects such as Alieu the Dreamer, Top Gun Maverick, Young and the Restless, Hawaii Five-O and Bosch. Acting prepared him with many vehicles of expression, especially the ability to be completely vulnerable which allowed him to find his true passion of becoming a contemporary artist. Solo creates abstract figurative work through a multilayer language of wisdom that he calls “F.E.E.L.” A process in which Solo describes as, “Creating art through being a vessel of (F)aith to possess the (E)nergy of (E)mpowerment through (L)ove. We all have a story and I want that to be reflected in every piece represented.” Solo tells short stories in different mediums that are divinely delivered in that moment and energetically translated creatively by giving it a voice.

Drawing our marathon MRelay to an end, Utopia explores an ideal, imaginary state in which society, politics and culture are perfect. It can often be difficult to face the reality of today’s world, where global climate change is leading to rising sea levels, unprecedented environmental destruction, a widening gap between rich and poor, and countless human rights violations. It’s easy to dream instead of a world in which all societal ills have been solved. In his 1516 treatise Utopia, Sir Thomas More imagined a fictional island society. But the concept of utopia has evolved to mean any community with a visionary system of political and societal perfection – cities that function to improve their citizens’ daily lives. Some utopian visions focus on design and technology, others on open, untouched landscapes, or new social orders. Can radically avant-garde and cutting-edge design unite us? How do we help solve the world’s problems and society’s dilemmas? Utopia was hosted by Michael Williams, director of the Wheeler Centre. Speakers included founding director of Breathe Architecture Jeremy McLeod; curator for the Australian pavilion at the 57th International Art Exhibition, Venice Biennale 2017 Natalie King; dancer and performer Becky Hilton; strategic adviser, theologian and master of Ormond College Rufus Black; artist and writer Aurelia Guo; landscape architect and managing director of Atelier Ten’s Australian office Paul Stoller; and medical anthropologist Gregory Phillips, who currently consults in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health in his role as executive director of Abstarr Consulting.
Talk Tuesday, September 22, 7pm Artists Space Books & Talks 55 Walker Street The International Art Exhibition in Solidarity with Palestine was inaugurated in Beirut, Lebanon, in March 1978, and was intended as the seed collection for a museum in exile. Inspired by the Museum of Resistance in Exile in Solidarity with Salvador Allende, the museum took the form of an itinerant exhibition that was meant to tour until it could "repatriate" to Palestine. Organized by the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO), comprising almost 200 works, donated by 200 artists from nearly 30 countries, the exhibition remains one of the most ambitious, in scale and scope, to have ever been showcased in the Arab world until this day. Tragically, during the Israeli army's siege of Beirut in 1982, sustained shelling destroyed the building where the works were stored as well as the exhibition's archival and documentary traces. This historical "ghost" exhibition has been an area of sustained research for Beirut-based writers and curators Kristine Khouri and Rasha Salti in recent years, culminating in the exhibition Past Disquiet: Narratives and Ghosts from the International Art Exhibition for Palestine, 1978, at the Museu d'Art Contemporani de Barcelona (MACBA) this year. This exhibition revisited the world of art and political engagement among the international anti-imperialist left during the 1970s, uncovering the extraordinary networks of individuals and practices behind it. Using recorded testimonies and private archives it retraced the complicated mesh of networks of affiliation and solidarity that linked militant artists across the world in the context of the Cold War. The exhibition also addressed similar museographic initiatives centered on the impassioned defense of causes, and emerging from shared soil, such as the struggle against the Pinochet dictatorship in Chile, and against apartheid in South Africa. Khouri and Salti's presentation at Artists Space Books & Talks will focus on their research conducted towards the exhibition at MACBA, considering how their methodology responded to and intersected with the historical context of The International Art Exhibition in Solidarity with Palestine, and other such examples of political engagement rarely studied in prevailing contemporary historical narratives. Their talk parallels Past Disquiet's attempts to construct a speculative history of the PLO initiative and equivalent practices in the 1970s, and its address of the problematics of oral history, the trappings of memory, and of writing history in the absence of cogent archives. This presentation is supported by the Arab Fund for Arts and Culture, and is part of the AFAC Cultural Week in New York 2015 entitled Uncover, Discover, Recover - Narratives from a Region in Transformation, running September 20th till the 26th.

This Week: Lisa Freiman In this weeks episode Duncan talks to Lisa Freiman of the Indianapolis Museum of Art. This wide-ranging discussion looks at her work with the 2011 Venice Biennial/Jennifer Allora and Guillermo Calzadilla, what it takes to make a relevant sculpture park, and what is up with our neighbor in the blogosphere Art Babel. Hold onto your hats it's bound to be a bumpy ride. Lisa appears with the generous support of SAIC's Visiting Artist Program and we thank them for their assistance. And special thanks go out to Andrea Green and Thea Liberty Nichols. The following bio was "borrowed" remorselessly from the 54th international art exhibition known as the Venice Biennial. Maybe you've heard of it? Lisa D. Freiman is senior curator and chair of the Department of Contemporary Art at the Indianapolis Museum of Art. In fall 2010, Freiman was appointed by the United States Department of State to be commissioner of the U.S. Pavilion in the 54th International Art Exhibition, La Biennale di Venezia. In 2011, she will present six newly commissioned, site-responsive works by Puerto Rico-based artists Allora & Calzadilla, the first collaborative to be presented in the U.S. Pavilion. Under Freiman’s vision and direction, the IMA opened 100 Acres: The Virginia B. Fairbanks Art & Nature Park to international critical acclaim in June 2010. 100 Acres offers a new resilient model for sculpture parks in the 21st century, emphasizing experimentation, place-making, and public engagement with a constantly changing constellation of commissioned artworks. Inaugural installations included works by eight artists and artist collaboratives from around the world including Atelier Van Lieshout, Kendall Buster, Jeppe Hein, Alfredo Jaar, Los Carpinteros, Tea Mäkipää, Type A, and Andrea Zittel. During her eight-year tenure at the IMA, Freiman has transformed the experience of contemporary art in Indianapolis. She has created a dynamic and widely renowned contemporary art program that has become an influential model for encyclopedic museums as they engage the art of our time. Actively seeking out the works of emerging and established international artists, Freiman continues to provide a platform to support artists’ work through major traveling exhibitions, commissions, acquisitions, and publications. She has realized major commissions by artists including Robert Irwin, Kay Rosen, Tony Feher, Orly Genger, Julianne Swartz, and Ghada Amer, and curated numerous exhibitions of works by international contemporary artists including Amy Cutler, Ingrid Calame, Maria Magdalena Campos-Pons, Ernesto Neto, and Tara Donovan. Freiman has published extensively on contemporary art, including books on Amy Cutler (Amy Cutler, Hatje Cantz, 2006), and María Magdalena Campos-Pons (María Magdalena Campos-Pons: Everything Is Separated by Water, Yale University Press, 2007), and Type A (Type A, Hatje Cantz, 2010). Prior to joining IMA, Freiman worked as assistant professor of art history, theory, and criticism at the University of Georgia, Athens and served in the curatorial department of the Institute of Contemporary Art, Boston. She earned her doctorate and master’s degrees in modern and contemporary art history from Emory University and has a bachelor’s degree in art history from Oberlin College. Freiman is currently editing the first collection of Claes Oldenburg’s writings from the Sixties, which will be published by Yale University Press in London in 2013. She is also adapting her dissertation, “(Mind)ing The Store: Claes Oldenburg’s Psychoaesthetics,” into the first scholarly monograph on Claes Oldenburg entitled Claes Oldenburg and the Sixties.
