This publication of the Prince Claus Fund Library is a fascinating presentation and an in-depth analysis of the work of three of the most exciting African diaspora artists of our time; David Hammons, Maria Magdalena, Campos-Pons and Pamela Z. Originally conceived for Dak’art – the biennial of contemporary African art in Dakar (Senegal).
The three site-specific projects profiled in this book engaged the city of Dakar, its people and its cultural institutions, thus redefining the approach to biennale participation. The concepts of diaspora, memory and place provided an essential unifying framework for the project by drawing key historical connections between the artists of African diasporic origins and Senegal, as well as Africa as a whole.
In a series of essays by leading scholars, artists and critics examine these groundbreaking pieces in relationship to time and space, and affirm their importance in the fields of conceptual art and new media.
