Artist Talk with Saâdane Afif
Thursday, March 14, 2019 7:00 pm – 9:00 pm EDT/GMT-4Bard College Berlin Lecture Hall, Platanenstr. 98a, Berlin - Pankow
Defined as ‘post-conceptual’, Saâdane Afif’s work is about interpretation, exchange and circulation. It takes multiple forms (performance, objects, sculptures, text, posters and works in neon) with the exhibition as a pretext for production or activation. Afif’s practice is rooted in music: scores, instruments, speakers, microphones, concerts and posters are part of his vocabulary or media. Other recurring interests include the passing of time (skulls, clocks), appropriation, remakes or repetitions and the displacement of meaning, and the critique of institutions.
His work was included in Documenta 12 (2007) and in the 56th International Exhibition of the Venice Biennial (2015).
The artist talk is part of the seminar Curating the Alter Ego, co-taught by Dorothea von Hantelmann and Joel Mu.
