Do ho suh – bridging home, london
The installation asks viewers about what it means to belong, and how we carry an idea of home with us, regardless of geographic location. Suh’s first large-scale outdoor installation in the capital, the work reflects the artist’s own experience of moving across continents and between cultures, and continues his career-long investigation of memory, migration, the multiplicity of the immigrant experience, and home as both a physical structure and a lived experience.
Waleed Raad – The Atlas group
Walid Raad grapples with memories of loss and carnage, as well as the dizzying reconstruction, that are legacies of the Lebanese Civil War. In an attempt to make sense of it all, he conceived his singular, ongoing project “The Atlas Group”, an imaginary foundation-cum-collective that presents its research (with elements of performance, video, and photography, and notebooks all produced by Raad) to audiences in Beirut and New York.
Ian Breakwell – The Walking Man Diary
He recorded incidental details of his life including carefully observed moments of absurdity, pathos, incongruity, alienation and mundanity.
Dieter Roth – Flacher Abfall (Flat Waste)
The project originated when the artist began collecting for periods in the 1970s and is an archive of all flat objects that went through Roth’s hands, under 1 cm of thickness, in a period of one year. In hundreds of binders, plastic sleeves house objects of utter banality: cigarette packets, fruit cartons, jam jar lids, and pieces of paper featuring the artist’s scrawl. Roth’s conservation of these items stems from his appreciation of the work and design each object was subject to in its fabrication. Roth found beauty in the banality of these everyday objects and in 1972 while travelling realised he was carrying various scraps of paper from place to place.
