| Summary, etc. |
Internationally-recognized artist Shahzia Sikander (b. 1969, Pakistan) presented her immersive animation Parallax (with music and sound by composer Du Yun) in addition to related drawings, prints, paintings, and photographs, for the first time at a museum in the United States at Tufts University. Conceived in the United Arab Emirates and debuting at the Sharjah Biennale in 2013, Parallax has been exhibited in Sweden, Spain, Bangladesh, Russia, and the Pace Foundation in San Antonio, TX, and will continue to be exhibited at international venues, including Hong Kong and Honolulu in 2016 and 2017. Inspired by the U.A.E.'s unique geography and culture at the Strait of Hormuz in the Persian Gulf, Sikander's 15-minute animation is constructed from hundreds of drawings and paintings, in which abstract, representational, and textual forms coexist and jostle for domination. Themes of dissonance and disruption echo the power tensions that have characterized the region's modern history as a British protectorate and the U.A.E.'s establishment as a nation state in 1971. Mesmerizing flows of imagery build in operatic intensity. Sikander's visual vocabulary includes recurring motifs such as Gopi hair, "Christmas trees" (oil pumping mechanisms), "singing spheres," and forearms with clenched fists. These motifs are combined to cultivate new associations within the animation's digital space. Undulating color fields create pitch and fervor, as human voices recite poetry in Arabic, creating tension and rhythm that oscillates with environmental sounds. The 100-page publication illustrates Sikander's thought-process and installation through image-rich design and probing essays by Ayesha Jalal, Amy Ingrid Schlegel, Shahzia Sikander, Tasneem Zehra Husain, and Sara Raza. |
