a DBAFfavorite: Mona Hatoum | “Undercurrent (red)” | 2008 | Currently on view at @tatemodernuk Hatoum’s interest in craft and textiles, often explored in smaller-scale work, is realised dramatically here in a combination of traditional technique with unexpected materials. A square mat, woven from red electrical cable, forms the centre of this work. A long fringe snakes across the floor. At the end of each cable a 15-watt light bulb brightens and dims at what Hatoum describes as ‘breathing pace’, suggesting the object has a life force of its own. It hints at a malevolent presence underfoot.
We are currently visiting @artgalleryofontario to view “How to Build a House Museum”, a new immersive work by Theatre Gates that transforms the AGO’s 5th floor galleries into symbolic spaces in the tradition of the house museum, each dedicated to the potential Black creativity and freedom - past, present and future
