STAFF PICK
A short video about Tate Modern Emma Wolukau Wanambwa
SD Digital file, UK, 5 minutes 7 seconds, Colour, Stereo
In ‘A short video about Tate Modern’, I give an account of an experience that I had in October 2003 at Tate Modern in London; and I introduce ‘A piece of work’ – the gallery intervention/drawing that I developed as a result.The video is one in a series of recent works in which I have sought to trace critically the visibilities and invisibilities, appearances and disappearances that structure and condition the public sphere and the public record.‘A short video about Tate Modern’ locates a ‘frontier space’ in our public culture – by which I mean a place and a moment when people, events and activities come into and go out of sight.
Selected by our Distribution Manager Sophia Musa –
‘I’ve been reflecting on existing in a black body in recent days. There is a hostility that clouds over the UK currently. Flames that have slowly been fanned over the past decade through government policy and media propaganda. Coming to terms with what it means to be othered, and what that looks like in the world and industry of art.”
