Tent. Salzburg, Museum der Moderne, 22-05-2021, 12-09-2021. - Catalogus toont werk van de Brits-Nigeriaanse kunstenaar Yinka Shonibare (Londen 1962) die zijn dubbele culturele achtergrond aan de orde stelt door middel van installaties van Afrikaanse wax-kleren, geënsceneerde foto's van de Victoriaanse samenleving waarin de rol van etniciteit, klasse, ras en de formatie van identiteit ter discussie wordt gesteld. - Since the 1990s, the British-Nigerian artist Yinka Shonibare CBE has developed opulently executed sculptures and installations, colorful collages, and theatrically staged photographs and films. The signature material in Yinka Shonibare's multimedia artworks, so-called African fabric, is a cipher. Originally produced in Manchester and intended for sale in Indonesia, the brightly colored fabric gained its name after British imperialists shifted their focus to colonial Africa. Featuring this product of both colonization and self-identification, Shonibare's sculptures and installations revisit the conflicted legacy of many historical artifacts in order to explore the complex hybridity of postcolonial life with unique irony.
