Kara Walker

she was born in Stockton, California, in 1969. She rec from the Atlanta College of Art in 1991, and an MFA from the Island School of Design in 1994. The artist is best known for e the raw intersection of race, gender, and sexuality through her silhouetted figures. Walker unleashes the traditionally proper medium of the silhouette directly onto the walls of the gallery, theatrical space in which her unruly cut-paper characters forni inflict violence on one another. In works like "Darkytown Rebel (2000), the artist uses overhead projectors to throw colored lig ceiling, walls, and floor of the exhibition space; the lights cast of the viewer’s body onto the walls, where it mingles with Walk paper figures and landscapes. With one foot in the historical re slavery and the other in the fantastical space of the romance n Walker’s nightmarish fictions simultaneously seduce and impli audience. Walker’s work has been exhibited at the Museum of Art, New York; San Francisco Museum of Modern Art; Solomon Guggenheim Museum, New York; and Whitney Museum of Am New York. A 1997 recipient of the MacArthur Fellowship, Walke United States representative to the 2002 Bienal de São Paulo....

The fate of the factory is an integral part of the installation. “It makes me very sad, actually,” said Ms. Walker, standing in the vast former raw sugar warehouse, of its impending demolition. “It’s so deeply embedded with meaning, and to just bulldoze that for the next phase of development is inevitable but it’s tragic.”

I think that is amazing. And it has real meaning its beautiful work of art I really appreciate it.

Art is all about how you feel

 "Evolution without A Hero" by Simohammed Fettaka

In his work, Fettaka focuses predominantly on the medium of film, as well as incorporating photography, collage, sound art and performance. At the centre of his work is a reflection on the presentation of the image. This graphic personal interpretation is based on collective memory: the individual visual experience must thereby lead us to question our sense of ourselves.

Suspended Together by Saudi Arabian artist Manal Al Dowayan

“Suspended Together” is an INSTALLATION that gives the impression of movement and freedom. However, a closer look at the 200 doves allows the viewer to realize that the doves are actually frozen and suspended with no hope of flight. An even closer look shows that each dove carries on its body a permission document that allows a Saudi woman to travel. Notwithstanding their circumstances, all Saudi women are required to have this document, issued by their appointed male guardian.

The artist reached out to a large group of leading women from Saudi Arabia to donate their permission documents for inclusion in this artwork. “Suspended Together” carries the documents of award-winning scientists, educators, journalists, engineers, artists and leaders with groundbreaking achievements that gave back to their society. The youngest contributor is six months old and the oldest is 60 years old. In the artist’s words, “regardless of age and achievement, when it comes to travel, all these women are treated like a flock of suspended doves.”
