Tracey Rose Shooting Down Babylon
Originating at Zeitz MOCAA, the Kunstmuseum Bern is mounting the large scale retrospective of South African artist Tracey Rose (b. 1974). The artist has been a radical voice in the international art world since the mid-1990s. Her works engage with post-colonialism, gender, sexuality, racism and apartheid.
At the centre is the power of performance art and the body, which Tracey Rose sees as a place of protest, of rage, of resistance and discourse. Her performances examine and critically comment on central experiences in the transition to a postcolonial world. The artist captures her sensational performance practice in various media such as photography, video, installation and drawing. The retrospective shows works from the period between 1990 and 2021.
