Mounir Fatmi: Forget (detail), 2009/10 10 helmets with ceramic skulls. Photo by mounir fatmi and courtesy Goodman Gallery. Edition of 5. South African audiences first encountered mounir fatmi in Africa Remix. He works in sculptor, installation, and video and is especially interested in the meanings that certain signs carry – in particular in the way those signs are seen in religious and political contexts.
Kara Walker: 8 Possible Beginnings or: The Creation of African-America, a Moving Picture, 2005 Video. 15 minutes, 57 seconds. In Context will show two films by Kara Walker at the Apartheid Museum. This highly acclaimed artist has long engaged in themes relating to African-American history. Her shadow processions and signature silhouette works are a stark and powerful way of addressing such issues as slavery in the ante-bellum South.
