26 listopada to rocznica urodzin Kary Walker – jednej z najważniejszych współczesnych artystek amerykańskich. Jej prace – ciemne sylwetki, mocne obrazy, instalacje z gorzkim komentarzem – rozprawiają się z historią rasizmu w USA. Dziś Walker kończy 56 lat. (fot.

About the Authors

Kara Walker, the artist and MacArthur genius, has created a new installation for the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. "Fortuna and the Immortality Garden (Machine) / A Respite for the Weary Time-Traveler. / Featuring a Rite of Ancient Intelligence Carried out by The Gardeners / Toward the Continued Improvement of the Human Specious" consists of eight Black automatons that "invite us to reflect on the human and nonhuman histories of racialized labor, offering a cryptic message about our own liberation," writes The Nation's Rachel Hunter Himes. Here's her story on this new work and how it fits into Walker's oeuvre. "Walker’s figures in 'Fortuna and the Immortality Garden (Machine),' like those in her cut-paper murals, embody histories that need to be contended with," Hunter Himes says. "Yet unlike her earlier work, this installation also grants us a glimpse of a possible future, a future of freedom. Here, Walker asks her Black automatons to give us an image of liberation, a request to which they graciously accede."

In deep thought about successful memorial. I know this is nine years old, but I'm blown away by the complexity of this work. I have always profoundly admired #karawalker, ever since I saw her silhouettes 30 years ago. There is so much here.
