Torino, 2 August 2022 – OGR Torino announces the exhibition by Arthur Jafa, the first solo show dedicated by an Italian institution to the US-American artist, filmmaker and cinematographer, that will take place from November 4th 2022 to January 15th 2023.
Commissioned and produced by OGR Torino in collaboration with Serpentine in London, and curated by Claude Adjil and Judith Waldmann with Hans Ulrich Obrist, the upcoming show was originally developed with Amira Gad and is specifically conceived by the artist for the cathedral-like space of #ogrtorino. The exhibition brings together some recent works that have never been shown in Italy before.
Arthur Jafa’s dynamic practice comprises films, installations and happenings, addressing Black culture and experience in the US with unprecedented intensity and complexity. In the 58th Venice Biennale (2019), his outstanding work was awarded the Golden Lion for best presentation. A recurring question underscores his multifaceted practice: how can visual media and objects embody "power, beauty and alienation” embedded within Black music in the United States.
The opening and the exhibition will be accompanied by a live programme, highlighting Arthur Jafa’s profound preoccupation with music and the cross pollination of disciplines and fields.
Arthur Jafa (b. 1960, Tupelo, Mississippi)
Arthur Jafa’s films have garnered acclaim at the Los Angeles, New York and Black Star Film Festivals and his artwork is represented in celebrated collections worldwide including The Metropolitan Museum of Art, The Museum of Modern Art, The Tate, The San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, The Studio Museum in Harlem, The High Museum Atlanta, The Dallas Museum of Art, The Museum of #contemporaryart in Chicago, Stedelijk, Luma Foundation, The Perez Art Museum Miami, Los Angeles Museum of #contemporaryart, The Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden; and the Smithsonian American Art Museum, among others.
He has recent and forthcoming solo exhibitions of his work at the Pérez Art Museum Miami; the Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archives; Galerie Rudolfinum, Prague; Moderna Museet, Stockholm; the Louisiana Museum of Art, Denmark and LUMA Arles, France. In 2019, he received the Golden Lion for the Best Participant of the 58th Venice Biennale “May You Live in Interesting Times."
