V&A - Jameel Prize 2009
Poziom:
Temat: Sztuka i rozrywka
I’m delighted to welcome you here this evening
to the presentation of the Jameel prize.
This prestigious new international art prize which will be awarded every two years
promotes and celebrates the very best in contemporary art
which has been inspired by the Islamic traditions of craft and design.
Its aim is to raise awareness of the thriving interaction
between contemporary visual art and the rich heritage of Islam
And the winner is...
Afruz Amighi
Well the title is a good place to start.
It’s called ‘A Thousand and One Pages’
If there were to be a piece of architecture or a momument that could embody
the political history of a country, that’s really what this piece is about.
It’s a hanging piece? Perhaps you could you describe it physically.
It’s a piece of plastic fabric and its most common use
is actually that it’s been used to fabricate tents in refugee camps.
It’s a fabric that I used to cut by hand, many many images and designs
and it acts almost like a photographic negative.
I remove, and removed and removed the material and then i illuminate the hanging fabric
and it casts a shadow of the pattern that I’ve carved into it on the wall behind it
The piece itself is very easy… it’s almost kind of like I’m copying what I grew up with,
because I grew with houses in the United States
in which the walls were all covered in rugs, hanging from the walls
and I think that’s where a lot of the inspiration for this piece came from.
