Maryam Jafri - Stages


Opening:
Friday 3rd February 2012, 19.00, Wyspa Institute of Art

Exhibition on view:
Tuesday - Sunday, 12.00-18.00


Maryam Jafri is an artist working in video, performance and photography. Informed by a research based, interdisciplinary process her artworks are marked by a visual language poised between film and theater and a series of narrative experiments and oscillating between script and document, fragment and whole. Jafri’s practice often starts from something that seems concrete whether that be an archive or a written text and then disrupts its established form. As Bridget Crone states in the work, "Staged Archive" (2008), for example, Jafri worked in relation to the National Archives of Ghana to create a film that questioned the archive‘s relationship to knowledge and ‘truth’ by staging the archive through a series of tableaux that referred to the visual and narrative codes of TV and cinema such as the court room drama, for example.

Maryam Jafri is an artist based in New York and Copenhagen. Her video work “Costume Party” (2005), Staged Archive (2008) and “Death with friends” (2010) will be presented in Wyspa in the exhibition “Stages”. Maryam Jafri presented her video works “Running”,“Janus”, “Father & Son” and Theatre as a part of Estrangement, an exhibition organized in Wyspa Institute of Art in the framework of Alternativa Festival 2011 curated by Aneta Szyłak and Hiwa K. Recent exhibition is her first solo show in Poland.

During the opening there’s a possibility to get know with two publications about Maryam Jafri - Bettina Steinbruegge: Silent Witnesses: Independence Day 1936-1967; Camera Austria International, nr.116/2011 and Maryam Jafri. Costume Party: Colony &Native, Kathrin Becker, Neuer Berliner Kunstverein, 2006. Publications will be avaliable in Wyspa’s archive.

Szanowni Państwo, Koledzy, Współpracownicy, Przyjaciele

Zbliża się ostateczny termin rozliczenia PIT za rok 2011. Byłoby nam niezmiernie miło, gdyby przy wypełnianiu zeznań podatkowych pamiętali Państwo o Wyspie. Także dzięki wskazaniu Fundacji Wyspa Progress jako beneficjenta 1% Państwa podatku, jesteśmy w stanie animować kulturę, organizować wystawy, spotkania i wydawać publikacje a także
utrzymywać budynek, w którym prowadzimy działalność. Ten rok, jak i poprzedni, jest rokiem szczególnych potrzeb ze względu na organizowaną przez nas drugą edycję Festiwalu Alternativa oraz zbiórkę publiczną na rzecz wykupu naszego budynku.

Prosimy mieć na uwadze numer KRS – 0000063731

Serdecznie zachęcamy do uwzględnienia naszej prośby oraz zapraszamy na otwarcie Festiwalu Alternativa już 25 maja.

Aneta Szyłak, Grzegorz Klaman i zespół Wyspy
