Drawn from Kilomba’s acclaimed large-scale installation, O Barco | The Boat(2021), a 32-meter-long sculptural slave ship memorializing the Middle Passage,18 Verses continues using the boat as a metaphor to explore the relationship between power and historical repetition. This sculptural installation reveals the silhouette of a shipwreck, alluding to migrant routes across the Mediterranean and other global waters today, while also echoing images, gestures, and sounds that insinuate a sense of historical repetition. As the artist states, “When history is not told properly, its barbarity repeats itself.”Kilomba will be joined by black feminist theorist Tina Campt, the Roger S. Berlind ’52 Professor of Humanities in the Department of Art and Archeology and the Lewis Center for the Arts at Princeton University. Following the discussion, we will celebrate the opening of18 Verses with a public reception from 6–8 PM. Read More Grada KilombaGrada Kilomba is a Berlin-based Portuguese artist whose works draws on memory, trauma, gender, and post- colonialism, interrogating concepts of knowledge, power, and violence. “What stories are told? How are they told? And told by whom?” are constant questions in Kilomba’s body of work. Performances, staged readings, videos, sculptural installations, and sound pieces all become conduits for the artist’s unique practice of decolonial storytelling.Learn More Journal View All Press Robert Longo on Mark Rothko Nov 29, 2023 Pace Live Artist Talk With Fred Wilson, LAXART Director Hamza Walker, and Pace Chief Curator Oliver Shultz Nov 17, 2023 Essays Tim Eitel on Time, Space, and Memory in His New Paintings of Pace’s Seventh Floor Nov 17, 2023 Essays Picasso at Pace: A Timeline Nov 16, 2023 Events — Grada Kilomba: In Conversation with Tina Campt, May 11, 2023
