Beuys Underground, 2017
Video installation
2 minutes 40 seconds
Commissioned by Sharjah Art Foundation
One of the Sharjah Biennial 2017 Prizes
Venue: Calligraphy Centre, Calligraphy Square
In a practice spanning some 40 years, İnci Eviner has explored the perspective of women, processes of organisation and the formation of subjectivities. Her works imagine alternate forms of expression and existence that interrogate normative representation. In SB13, she presents two videos that reflect on art, politics and life.
For her SB13 commission, Beuys Underground (2017), Eviner’s video carves out an alternative present tense world, in which an oppressive and failing government creates fictionalised enemies to cover up its failures. As the past and the future become unavailable as reference points for contemporary consciousness, a group of poets and artists must go underground. Drawing foresight from Joseph Beuys, known for his vision as an artist and healer, they set their minds to developing a total recalibration of their visual and verbal order. The group decides that the following terms must be defined immediately: justice, laughter, cloud, headscarf, family, woman, drum, soldier, nurse, death, sculpture, separation, jealousy, hearing, mosque, Atatürk Cultural Centre, Persian vase, love and cypress tree.
