Conceptual photography and video
Conceptual photography and video
The North Dakota Museum of Art will mount the first comprehensive solo
museum exhibition in the United States by this important contemporary
Colombian artist. He spent twenty years as a novelist before turning to
conceptual photography and video in 1997 in order to confront the violence
that rules his own country.
The artist works in series, always creating art rather than documentaries.
The exhibition, accompanied by a bilingual catalog, will include work from
the past seven years - since he evolved into a mature visual artist.
Funded by the Andy Warhol Foundation.
The North Dakota Museum of Art collects contemporary, international art in
all media starting with the early 1970s (the founding of the Museum)
onwards. It collects the visual history of the region. It is also
assembling a survey collection of contemporary Native American art,
starting with the early 1970s when the movement emerged. This does not
preclude the acceptance of collections that are outside this focus if they
would enrich the visual life of our audience, i.e. a historical textile
collection.
