💫 A brisk walk through of of Dominican-American artist Firelei Báez’s exhibition entitled ‘Trust Memory over History’, at the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art.
🇩🇴 In her monumental paintings and installations, New York-based Báez creates images bursting with colours and symbols based on her own Caribbean culture, featuring folktales, colonial occupation, revolution and divided societies. Taking point of departure in how inherited stories shape and maintain culture and identity, Báez challenges powerful concepts like truth and history. Báez usually paints on top of ancient colonial maps or construction plans for colonial architecture, both of which represent the establishment’s notion of truthfulness and objectivity. The artist overwrites – or replaces – the traditional language of power with a new energetic force and vibrant, colourful expressions, mixing real-life events with sci-fi fables.
🙌🏾 The exhibition runs until 18 February 2024 and I highly recommend a visit!

🇺🇾 María Freire (1917-2015) was one of the Southern Cone’s most productive and engaged, if also one of the least-known, artists working in the Constructivist tradition. Freire trained at the Círculo de Bellas Artes in Montevideo from 1938 to 1943, studying under José Cuneo and Severino Pose and at the Universidad del Trabajo under Antonio Pose. In the early 1950s, after meeting her future husband, the artist José Pedro Costigliolo, her art became more influenced by European non-figurative art. In 1952, she co-founded the Grupo de Arte No Figurativo de Montevideo with Costigliolo in Montevideo, and exhibited with them in 1952 and 1953. She remained the sole woman member despite the group numbering nineteen artists by 1955. Freire exhibited regularly in the National Salons from 1953 to 1972. In 1953 Freire and Costigliolo were invited to the 2nd Sao Paulo Biennial, where they came into contact with Brazil’s enthusiasm for geometric abstraction. In 1957, Freire and Costigliolo won the “Gallinal” travel grant which they used to live and study in Paris and Amsterdam, and to travel throughout Europe until 1960, meeting many of the historical pioneers of abstract art. In 1959 they exhibited in Brussels, at the Galerie Contemporain. She was invited again to the Sao Paulo Biennial in 1957 and the ###III Venice Biennale in 1966.

“I’m not so interested in focusing on nations, nationalities and countries. I want to go beyond those borders, to define myself beyond that. I’m not interested in pinning myself or my narrative to a specific country. I’m much more interested in creating work that raises questions around humanity, that invites the audience to re-think who represents the human condition and who doesn’t – and why. I think that goes beyond nationhood.” – Grada Kilomba
⛵This striking 32-metre-long installation - O Barco / The Boat is a powerful monument to the millions of African people enslaved during the period of European maritime expansion and colonisation. Comprised of 140 charred wood pieces, the work’s overall configuration outlines the ‘hold’ of an historical slave ship, providing a life-size view onto the traumatic past. The central rows feature a poem written by the artist, intricately inscribed in gold into their surfaces. These have been translated into several African languages, including Yoruba, Kimbundu, and Creole from Cabo Verde, as well as Portuguese, English and Arabic, representing the many forgotten stories and identities of those who were enslaved and suffered over the centuries. The installation invites visitors to challenge the ideas often associated with the boat in the West, which may evoke images of glory, freedom and maritime exploration. Somerset House’s own history as the home of the Navy Office once contributed to this false narrative. For Kilomba, the work is an intervention into history: ‘Just as a country with millions of people cannot be discovered, neither can one of the longest, most horrible chapters of the history of humanity - slavery - be erased’.
🇵🇹 Grada Kilomba is a Portuguese, Berlin-based transdisciplinary artist, whose work draws on memory, trauma, gender and post-colonialism, interrogating concepts of knowledge, power and violence. Her works have been presented at the 10th Berlin Biennale, documenta 14
🗣️ “Leaving my homeland at such a young age became an important factor in my development as a person and played a significant role in the line my work would take. Though the memory of my emigration from Italy flourishes in the work, it is re-encountered and identified with collective displacement in view of the wave of migration sweeping the world today. Some of my works… are coated with political and social responsibility. Bearing in mind the inhumane policies adopted by governments to tackle immigration, I believe that art may become an active voice of resistance. (…)All migration is a traumatic and painful individual process, depending on whether the immigrant is welcomed or not in the host country. I think that all immigrants carry with them, some more than others, the feeling of abandonment, of being stateless, of having no affiliation, which hinders their identification as persons. I carried these feelings for many years during my youth, until I realized that identification itself is always a changing process and that for many it is never completed. Finally, the lack of belonging can become a positive factor in one’s development. For me, art offers the opportunity to develop desires and exorcise frustrations or repressions.” Anna Maria Maiolino
Adriano Pedrosa, curator of the Biennale’s central exhibition: “This decision is particularly meaningful given the title and framework of my exhibition, focused as it is on artists who have travelled and migrated between North and South, Europe and beyond. In this sense, my choice rests upon two extraordinary, pioneering women artists who are also migrants and who embody in many ways the spirit of Foreigners Everywhere.”
🇮🇹 🇻🇪 🇧🇷 Born in Italy, in 1942, Maiolino immigrated to Venezuela in 1954. In 1960 she moved to Rio de Janeiro, where she lived for most of the next 45years. She attended the Escuela Nacional Cristóbal Rojas in Caracas and Escola Nacional de Belas Artes in Rio
