Doris Salcedo
New Museum of Contemporary Art, SITE Santa Fe.
by Doris Salcedo, Dan Cameron, and Charles Merewether
In her series "Tabula Rasa I-IV", Salcedo tackles the subject of rape, something that many women became the victim of during the Colombian civil conflicts and the continuing tyranny in that country. For this installation she destroyed tables, as symbols for life and living, and then put them back together with glue in a painstakingly detailed process. The reconstituted objects show the clear traces of their destruction. These everyday objects are inscribed, materially and metaphorically, with the impossibility of reversing an act of violence once it has been carried out.00Exhibition: Kunsthalle St. Annen, Lübeck, Germany (08.09. - 03.11.2019).
