“Dancing with Barbed Wire”
An commissioned essay on Sigalit Landau’s Barbed Hula (2001) for Memorials of Identity, a catalogue of a traveling show from the Rubell Family Collection, Haifa Museum of Art
June 2 – September 2, 2007
Memorials of Identity featured nine new media works by seven international artists (William Kentridge, Sigalit Landau, Jun Nguyen-Hatsushiba, Sven Påhlsson, Anri Sala, Fiona Tan and Artur Žmijewski) who were dealing with issues of identity and quotidian reality. In their works, the artists individually explore memories, personal legacies and aspects of their backgrounds in an effort to express the political and historical realities of their countries. The exhibition was shown at the Haifa Museum of Art as part of a cluster of exhibitions that dealt with issues of ‘identity’. I was commissioned to write the essay on Sigalit Landau.
