Descripción

A French artist of Algerian descent, Kader Attia directs his gaze toward the<br>African continent, engaging in specters of colonialism in the footsteps of<br>Brazilian poet Oswald de Andrade and activist Franz Fanon. This catalog draws<br>from the artist s recent exhibition<br>Repair<br><br>5 Acts<br>, an installation of what he<br>calls reappropriated materials across culture, politics, science, nature and the<br>notion of repair in continuity. Spanning installation, sculpture and photography,<br>Attia s recent work includes an army of crouching figures whose identities<br>dissolve under silvery rescue blankets often used to aid refugees in distress.<br>In addition, the publication presents work from 2008 to 2013 and writings<br>from the artist and French anthropologist Marc Auge, tying together Attia s<br>central interest in identity with the endless exchange between European and<br>non-European cultures. The artist is the recipient of the Cairo Biennial Prize<br>(2008) and was recently featured in dOCUMENTA XIII. — pagg. 224; COL; rileg. rigida. Editore: Spector Books, Leipzig, 2014.
