Kara Walker: We at
Camden Arts Centre are Exceedingly Proud to Present an Exhibition of Capable
Artworks by the Notable Hand of the Celebrated American, Kara Elizabeth Walker,
Negress
Camden Arts Centre
11 October 2013 – 5
January 2014
Kara Walker’s work is a dark and, at
times, sinister, exploration of race, gender, sexuality and violence in
American history and society. Best known for her life-size black paper
silhouettes, Walker’s work is often displayed in the form of cyclorama, with
light projections causing the visitors’ shadows to intermingle with the
fictional (and factual) characters on the walls. More recent works include
puppet films telling open-ended narratives about the abuse of power.“I don’t know how much I believe in redemptive
stories,” says Walker. “Triumph never sits still. Life goes on. People forget
and make mistakes. Heroes are not completely pure, and villains aren’t purely
evil. I’m interested in the continuity of conflict.”
