CY TWOMBLY | TATE MODERN

Cy Twombly - Quattro Stagioni - Inverno


The strikes again with yet another transcendent exhibition.
The Cy Twombly retrospect celebrates the 80th birthday of the
artist with a staggering medley of work dating back to the 1950’s.
The awesome four seasons series (“Winter” pictured above) will be on view.
Childlike reference is a common misconception shared by those that enjoy
and despise the art of Cy Twombly. At a glance in a book or on the internet
it would be easy to come to the conclusion that Twombly has either returned
to innocence or to fall back on the often intoned, “My kid could paint that”.
If one seriously examines in person the paintings, drawings and sculpture,
an overwhelming sophistication begins to emerge that pales comparison.
The Tate will be offering a virtual tour of the exhibit in the near future.
There are also several exhibit related products to be found in their online shop
including some sweet t-shirts and this screen print commemorating the show.

PIETER HUGO | NOLLYWOOD

Pieter Hugo: Nollywood



Press Release

Yossi Milo Gallery is pleased to announce an exhibition of photographs by Pieter Hugo, 
entitled Nollywood.

Pieter Hugo’s series Nollywood portrays archetypal characters from one of the three largest
 film industries in the world, “Nollywood” in Nigeria (which is larger than Hollywood and second 
to Bollywood, according to 2009 UNESCO report). Nollywood produces over 1000 low-budget, 
straight-to-video films a year. The films lean toward the macabre and melodramatic, 
with narratives rooted in local symbolic imagery and traditional storytelling. 
Themes and subjects often include the supernatural, with plots centered on romance, 
extortion, prostitution, witchcraft, or religion. Produced for a primarily African audience, 
the films are a rare example of African self-representation in mass media.
The photographs in the series were taken with a medium-format camera in the film 
production centers of Enugu and Asaba in southern Nigeria, using local actors to 
recreate scenes and characters inspired by typical Nollywood films. The staged 
images, which recall film production stills, are the artist’s interpretations of the 
iconic myths and symbols that characterize Nollywood movies. Like the artist’s 
series The Hyena and Other Men, which was shown at the gallery in 2007, 
Nollywood focuses on a unique cultural community in Africa. The resulting
 images are portraits on the border between documentary and fiction.

MARK WALLINGER | STATE BRITAIN

Mark Wallinger has recreated peace campaigner Brian Haw’s Parliament Square
protest for a dramatic new installation at Tate Britain. Running along the full length 
of the Duveen Galleries, State Britain consists of a meticulous reconstruction of 
over 600 weather-beaten banners, photographs, peace flags and messages from 
well-wishers that have been amassed by Haw over the past five years.


Faithful in every detail, each section of Brian Haw’s peace camp from the makeshift 
tarpaulin shelter and tea-making area to the profusion of hand-painted placards and 
teddy bears wearing peace-slogan t-shirts has been painstakingly sourced and 
replicated for the display.


Brian Haw began his protest against the economic sanction in Iraq in June 2001, 
and has remained opposite the Palace of Westminster ever since. On 23 May 2006, 
following the passing by Parliament of the ‘Serious Organised Crime and Police Act’ 
prohibiting unauthorised demonstrations within a one kilometre radius of Parliament 
Square, the majority of Haw’s protest was removed. Taken literally, the edge of this 
exclusion zone bisects Tate Britain. Wallinger has marked a line on the floor of the 
galleries throughout the building, positioning State Britain half inside and half 
outside the border.


In bringing a reconstruction of Haw’s protest before curtailment back into the public 
domain, Wallinger raises challenging questions about issues of freedom of expression 
and the erosion of civil liberties in Britain today.

State Britain is the latest in an ongoing series of contemporary sculpture 
commissions whose previous contributors include Michael Landy, Mona Hatoum 
and Anya Gallaccio. The series builds on a long tradition of exhibitions in 
the Duveen Galleries, which has included memorable installations by Richard Long, 
Richard Serra and Luciano Fabro.This display contains images of human suffering 
which some visitors may find distressing.

About the artist
State Britain is Wallinger's first major project in London since Ecce Homo 1999, 
one of his most celebrated works to date, a modern day, life-size Christ figure 
crowned with barbed-wire thorns that temporarily occupied The Fourth Plinth 
in Trafalgar Square, London.

Wallinger was born in Chigwell in 1959. He lives and works in London. 
He studied at Chelsea School of Art, London (1978-81) and Goldsmiths’ College, 
London (1983-85). Since the mid-1980s Wallinger’s primary concern has been 
to establish a valid critical approach to the ‘politics of representation and the 
representation of politics’ and has often explored issues of the responsibilities 
of individuals and those of society in his work. He was shortlisted for the 
Turner Prize in 1995 and represented Britain at the 49th Venice Biennale in 2001.
State Britain is curated by Clarrie Wallis, Curator, Tate Britain in collaboration
