Abstract

Yinka Shonibare CBE makes colourful fabrics with presumed African origins into the trademark of his multimedia artworks. At the same time he examines complex themes like hybrid identities, colonialism and power structures with unique irony. This richly illustrated catalogue focuses on three decades of his fascinating artistic oeuvre.Since the 1990s, the British-Nigerian artist Yinka Shonibare CBE (*1962, London) has developed opulently executed sculptures and installations, colourful collages and theatrically staged photographs and films. To do so he transforms episodes from art and history whose effects influence our present-day lives. The volume takes up the traces of colonialism and its consequences for role models, worldviews and body images in the works of Shonibare. Exhibition: Museum der Moderne Salzburg, Austria (13.03. - 04.07.2021).
