Artist Talk: Ali Cherri
Sat 12 Apr | 14:00
£5pp / £3.50 concessions (student/unwaged)Ali Cherri will take part in an Artist Talk with curator Emma Dean at Baltic Centre for Contemporary Art, Gateshead on the opening day of his new exhibition How I Am A Monument. Exploring different geographies of violence in his native Lebanon but also in the broader region, Ali Cherri is a Paris-based artist with three decades of artistic practice spanning film, sculpture, installation, drawing and performance, interrogating the ways in which political violence is witnessed and disseminates into people’s bodies, and how it scars the physical and cultural landscape. Cherri was born in Beirut in 1976, a year into the Lebanese Civil War (1975–1990). Cherri’s practice is inspired both by archaeological artefacts and the natural world. He explores violence against bodies, objects and nature in regions of conflict, and visualises history and cultural value not as something neutral or universal, but as constructed narratives, deeply influenced by colonialism, nationalism and geopolitics. His work considers the links between archaeology, historical narrative and heritage, reflecting on the processes of excavation, cultural loss and the relocation and preservation of artefacts in museums.

Baltic Centre for Contemporary Art The ultra-modern art museum is very rich and full of personality. There are also souvenir shops around. I received a mug printed with buildings. It is very interesting. ～ It is worth seeing. Photo net red dot ～.
