This work was first a performance lecture, then reworked as an essay, then reassembled as a sculpture.
|
||||
|
||||
Materials include; square bar metal stand, a slide projector, slides, purple satin rope, roll of paper. Riso printed book with the script of the performance lecture, within which tells the narrative of artist Aubrey Williams, the curatorial turn towards 'primitivism’ and 'abstract expressionism’, the erasure of African art from stories of modernism and biases of art education. Quotes from a conversation between Williams and Picasso appear on the slides, from a documentary about Aubrey William's life and work.

The performance used both a digital and slide projector, our two female voices travelled through microphones while another female narrator, the artist and researcher Cristina Cochior, is a prerecorded voice played out throughout the space. One costume is inflatable and runs of a battery pack requiring 4AA batteries. Inflation of the costume coincides with moments in the script when the European art scene benefits from cultural references taken from Africa, and/or artists of the African diaspora.
