SUMMARY:Talk: Are my hands clean? Rajkamal Kahlon & Ana Teixeira Pinto
DESCRIPTION:Are my hands clean?16.01.2020 - 7pmTalk with artist Rajkamal Kahlon and author and cultural theorist Ana Teixeira PintoAn exhibition by Rajkamal Kahlon curated by Nataša Ilićwithin the frame of the exhibition programme SoS (Soft Solidarity)\, conceived by Nataša Ilić and Solvej Helweg Ovesen"In a text so apt it could have been written with Kahlon’s work in mind\, the postcolonial scholar David Lloyd argues that the subaltern is “haunted with the spectre of violence”—not the violence done by or to the subaltern\, but the violence inherent to the West’s self-representation as the universal under which every particular can be subsumed. What Kahlon’s subjects seem to say without saying it is that wherever necropower is deployed against human life\, the body transmogrifies into a weapon and death becomes the ultimate form of resistance."(Ana Teixeira Pinto in Artforum\, Dec 2019)In her work\, Rajkamal Kahlon deals with history from a postcolonial perspective. The artist challenges testimonies from the past\, especially language and images. She subjects them to a change of perspective\, trying to create an awareness of the respective contexts in which they were created. Kahlon is interested how hierarchies and power structures are inscribed in images from archives that we (re)produce and consume. With her overpaintings and pictorial transformations\, the artist examines which identity-creating and political implications are associated with such staged images.______________________________________Are my hands clean?An exhibition by Rajkamal Kahlon06.12.2019 -25.01.2020Tue - Sat\, 12 - 7pmGalerie Wedding - Raum für zeitgenössische Kunst
