In his provocative, often humorous, but always compelling work, Kendell Geers employs various media such as installation, drawing, video, performance, and photography. For two decades his art has been closely linked to the political and cultural environments of his home--whether in South Africa or Europe. This volume explores in particular the trajectories of two decade-long periods. The first, a political phase, runs from 1988 to 2000, during which time Geers explored the moral and ethical contradictions of apartheid. By appropriating historical events and ideas, he focused on questions of the relationship between individual and society. The second period was initiated by Geers's move to Brussels in 2000. This European period is characterized by a poetic aesthetic as Geers transferred his artistic practice into a postcolonial and increasingly global context, exploring themes such as terrorism, spirituality, and mortality. This volume features a number of essays addressing aspects of Geers's work as well as an interview with the artist."--Publisher's website. 505 0 Foreword / Okwui Enwezor -- Kendell Geers (1988-2012) / Clive Kellner -- The perversity of my birth: The birth of my perversity / Kendell Geers -- Kendell Geers: A proletarian gnosis / Nicolas Bourriaud -- On the aesthetic and political language of art: A conversation between Kendell Geers and William Kentridge / Moderated by Okwui Enwezor -- On the political in Kendell Geers' early work, 1988-2000 / Katerina Gregos -- (With your) back to the wall: The murals of Kendall Geers / Anitra Nettleton -- Kendell Geers, or the denial of the evident / Laurent Devèze. 600 10 Geers, Kendell, |d1968- |vExhibitions. |=^A1175169 650 0 Art, South African |vExhibitions. |=^A188747 650 0 Conceptual art |vExhibitions. |=^A653952 650 0 Installations (Art) |vExhibitions. |=^A535506 650 0 Video art |vExhibitions. |=^A531978 650 0 Race in art |vExhibitions. |=^A964650 650 0 Violence in art |vExhibitions. |=^A1181455 650 0 Politics in art |vExhibitions. |=^A672539 700 1 Geers, Kendell, |d1968- |eartist. |=^A1175169 700 1 Kellner, Clive, |eeditor. |=^A1178642 700 1 Bourriaud, Nicolas, |econtributor. |=^A531982 700 1 Devèze, Laurent, |d1961- |econtributor. |?UNAUTHORIZED 700 1 Gregos, Katerina |econtributor. |=^A1177377 700 1 Nettleton, Anitra C.
