Gaba beschäftigt sich in seinen Installationen zumeist mit gesellschaftspolitischen Themen wie den Auswirkungen des Kolonialismus in Afrika, führt aber auch Rückbezüge auf die Rolle der zeitgenössischen Kunst und ihrer Institutionen selbst ein. Seine Arbeiten wurden auf internationalen Ausstellungen wie der Documenta11 und der 50. Biennale von Venedig 2003 gezeigt. (de) Meschac Gaba es un artista africano nacido en Cotonú, República de Benín en 1961. Actualmente vive y trabaja entre República de Benín y Países Bajos. (es) Meschac Gaba (born 1961) is a Beninese conceptual artist based in Rotterdam and Cotonou. His installations of everyday objects whimsically juxtapose African and Western cultural identities and commerce. He is best known for The Museum of Contemporary African Art 1997–2002, an autobiographical 12-room installation acquired and displayed by the Tate Modern in 2013. He has also exhibited at the Studio Museum in Harlem and at the 2003 Venice Biennale. (en) Meschac Gaba (1961) è un artista beninese.Vive e lavora tra la Repubblica del Benin e i Paesi Bassi. (it) |
