Artist Talk with Kara Walker
The artist Kara Walker in conversation with the exhibition curator Anita Haldemann in the context of the exhibition “Kara Walker. A Black Hole Is Everything a Star Longs to Be”.
Throwing open the doors to her personal archive that she has closely guarded for the past twentyeight years, Kara Walker (b. 1969) presents more than 600 drawings from her studio. The Kunstmuseum Basel displays these treasures together with brand-new works by the world-famous American artist in her first extensive solo exhibition in Switzerland.
Showing little patience for political correctness, the 52-year-old American zooms in on today’s hot-button issues: racism, violence, gender, and sexuality. Walker rose to prominence with expansive silhouettes and monumental sculptures. Most recently, her enormous fountain Fons Americanus at the Tate Modern, London, made headlines.
Walker’s first major solo exhibition in Switzerland turns the spotlight on her drawings: the creative matrix of her oeuvre. It features more than six hundred works from the past three decades that the artist has never shared with the public. The spectrum ranges from sketches, studies, collages, and diary-like notes to monumental drawings. The show offers unprecedented insight into Walker’s approach, thinking, and prolific imagination.
