𝓒𝓮𝓬𝓲𝓵𝓲𝓪 𝓥𝓲𝓬𝓾ñ𝓪... ... this Chilean artist and poet has hung up huge mobiles of fraying wool, knotted rope and debris mudlarked from the Thames. The things we discard and most probably forget she managed to turn into something completely different. And very moving.

Congratulations El Anatsui, winner of this year's @tate Turbine Hall Comission. Images and spreads here are from 'The Reinvention of Sculpture,' published by @damiani_books by Okwui Enwezor & @chikaokekeagulu⁠ ⁠ @artforum writes: Ghanian-born multimedia artist El Anatsui, widely known for his fluid, cascading tapestries constructed from bottle caps and copper wire, has been tapped to create the next Hyundai Commission at Tate Modern’s Turbine Hall, London. “Repurposing found materials into dazzling works of abstract art, Anatsui’s work explores themes that include the environment, consumption and trade,” Tate said in a statement. The commission, most likely a work at massive scale, will be unveiled October 10 and will remain on view through April 14, 2024.⁠ ⁠ @elanatsui_art #elanatsui #turbinehall #elanatsuiturbinehall #elanatsuitate⁠ ⁠ ⁠ https://www.instagram.com/p/CpDB0BruLCY/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

During the past two decades, @Tate Modern’s Turbine Hall has hosted some truly spectacular site-specific installations that have set the bar high for new commissions. We’re happy to say that New York-based, Seoul-born artist Anicka Yi's @anickayi_studio floating machines, the latest instalment of the Hyundai Commission series, sets the bar even higher, both literally and figuratively. Poetically titled “In Love With The World”, the installation consists of a swarm of giant, airborne contraptions - part jellyfish, part cephalopod, part machine – which languorously drift around the enormous hall in ever changing patterns. Based on ocean life forms and mushrooms, and mobilized by AI, Yi’s helium-filled bulbous creatures break down the distinctions between nature and technology, conjuring a post-industrial, symbiotic ecosystem of machines and other life forms – quite contemplative and soothing to be in, but at the same time a bit menacing. On view until 16 January 2022. _ video cover: Installation view of Hyundai Commission/ Anicka Yi.

Artists, writers, poets and thinkers created these samosa packets for the Turbine Bagh movement against fascism in India. They were due to be displayed at a peaceful protest today, 28th March, at Tate Modern, Turbine Hall, London. They are in self-isolation in this room. For now.  Resistance in the time of COVID-19. Lock down a belief and it only grows stronger. @turbinebagh_art @tate @tateexchange #TurbineBagh #ShaheenBagh #SamosaPacketMovement #CAA #NRC #NPR #Modi #fascism #DelhiPogrom #KashmirBleeds #WomensResistance #PeacefulProtest #HumanRights #islamophobia #Covid19 #lockdown #TateModern #TurbineHall (at Tate Modern) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-Mca5gpdT_/?igshid=1cjkzjizyg0hy

Tate’s Turbine Hall has seen some legendary installations including this one, Doris Salcedo’s Shibboleth. It is a deep crack that traverses the length of the room and varies in its width. At first, it doesn’t provoke much of a reaction. You may ask if there’s something more to the installation, and what exactly is it? After all, the installations at Turbine Hall are known for their eccentric and extravagant nature such as Ai Weiwei’s Sunflower Seeds or Louise Bourgeois’s I Do, I Undo, I Redo.

That general reaction of mild curiosity and confusion is exactly what should be provoked by this piece, and those two questions from earlier are going to guide our discussion of it today.

 So starting with, “what is it?”. According to The English Oxford Dictionary, a shibboleth is, “a custom, principle, or belief distinguishing a particular class or group of people, especially a long-standing one regarded as outmoded or no longer important.” This definition is helpful, but Salcedo called her work Shibboleth because of the historical context of the word. Shibboleth describes some type of test to differentiate between the natives and foreigners of a culture. It could be the pronunciation of a certain word or baiting someone into performing a cultural taboo. In essence, shibboleths convey the segregation that exists in every community. Salcedo has given some clue to its meaning, vaguely describing it as a representation of an immigrant’s experience in Europe, but given the meaning and history behind the word shibboleth, the unassuming piece addresses so much more beyond that. 

“Is there something more to the installation?” Touching on that last paragraph, there is definitely more than what meets the eye in Shibboleth, and the most important component of the piece is intangible: it’s time. Understanding how this piece ages is the true work of art. Beginning with its creation, Salcedo sparks controversy by intentionally leaving a permanent mark on the exhibition space. When the installation is open to the public, some closely scrutinize it, others warily walk alongside it; some choose to observe it alone, while many couples and groups walk on opposite ends of each other. In each possible interaction, even with couples standing just inches away from each other, there is an unmistakable feeling of distance. Finally, when the installation is retired, the crack is filled and smoothed with concrete. The new concrete is noticeably different from that of Turbine Hall’s original floors. It definitely does not provoke the same magnitude of feelings as the original, but it still looks strange. The “repaired” floor is the scar. A scar left from dark histories and discrimination? From war and other tragedies? Salcedo leaves it up to us to decide, and this is what I was referring to earlier on how the age of this work is where its artfulness is, especially with its current phase as a scar. Scars represent recovery and movement towards progress, but at the same time, they are a permanent sign of what was done in the past. However bright and inclusive our future may be, we can never deny the impossibility of forgetting what has been.

If you have an artist or a specific piece you’d like my take on, comment on this post. See you Saturday!

A large silver pendulum can now be seen swinging aloft in the Tate Modern’s Turbine Hall. It’s part of a Hyundai commission by a group of artists, called Superflex, who explore global social and cultural concerns. All the exhibits on view form part of a giant playground, with over-sized swings also to be enjoyed together. The sponsored exhibition is set up to reflect and explore the momentum generated by community and is free for visitors until 2 April 2018.
