Photo by Camille Millerand<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/kaderattia.de\/\">Kader Attia<\/a> grew up in Paris and in Algeria. Preceding his studies at the \u00c9cole Sup\u00e9rieure des Arts Appliqu\u00e9s Duperr\u00e9 and the \u00c9cole Nationale Sup\u00e9rieure des Arts D\u00e9coratifs in Paris, and at Escola Massana, Centre d&#8217;Art i Disseny in Barcelona, he spent several years in Congo and in South America.<\/p>\n<p>The experience of living between different cultures, the histories of which over centuries have been characterised by rich trading traditions, colonialism and multi-ethnic societies, has fostered Kader Attia\u2019s intercultural and interdisciplinary approach of research. For many years, he has been exploring the perspective that societies have on their history, especially as regards experiences of deprivation and suppression, violence and loss, and how this affects the evolving of nations and individuals \u2014 each of them being connected to collective memory. His socio-cultural research has led Kader Attia to the notion of <em>Repair<\/em>, a concept he has been developing philosophically in his writings and symbolically in his oeuvre as a visual artist. With the principle of <em>Repair<\/em> being a constant in nature \u2014 thus also in humanity \u2014, any system, social institution or cultural tradition can be considered as an infinite process of <em>Repair<\/em>, which is closely linked to loss and wounds, to recuperation and re-appropriation. <em>Repair<\/em> reaches far beyond the subject and connects the individual to gender, philosophy, science, and architecture, and also involves it in evolutionary processes in nature, culture, myth and history.<\/p>\n<p>Following the idea of catharsis, his work aims at Art\u2019s re-appropriation of the field of emotion that, running from ethics to aesthetics, from politics to culture, links individuals and social groups through emotional experience, and that is in danger of being seized by recent nationalist movements<\/p>\n<p>In 2016, Kader Attia founded <span style=\"text-decoration: line-through;\">La Colonie<\/span>, a space in Paris to share ideas and to provide an agora for vivid discussion, that extends his praxis from representation to action. Focussing on decolonialisation not only of peoples but also of knowledge, attitudes and practices, it aspires to de-compartmentalise knowledge by a trans-cultural, trans-disciplinary and trans-generational approach. Driven by the urgency of social and cultural reparations, it aims at reuniting which has been shattered, or drift apart.<\/p>\n<p>Kader Attia&#8217;s work has been shown in\u00a0group shows and biennials such as the 12<sup>th<\/sup> Shanghai Biennial; the 12<sup>th<\/sup> Gwangju Biennial; the 12<sup>th<\/sup> Manifesta, Palermo; the 57th Venice Biennial; dOCUMENTA(13) in Kassel; Met Breuer, New York; Kunsthalle Wien; MoMA, New York; Tate Modern, London; Centre Pompidou, Paris, or The Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York &#8211; just to name a few. Notable solo exhibitions include \u201cThe Museum of Emotion\u201d, The Hayward Gallery, London; \u201cScars Remind Us that Our Past is Real\u201d, Fundacio Joan Miro in Barcelona; \u201cRoots also grow in concrete\u201d, MacVal in Vitry-sur-Seine; \u201eThe Field of Emotion\u201c, The Power Plant, Toronto; Museum of Contemporary Art, Sydney; SMAK, Gent; Museum f\u00fcr Moderne Kunst, Frankfurt; Mus\u00e9e Cantonal des Beaux Arts de Lausanne; Beirut Art Center; Whitechapel Gallery, London; KW Institute for Contemporary Art, Berlin.<\/p>\n<p>In 2016, Kader Attia was awarded with the Marcel Duchamp Prize, followed in 2017 by the Prize of the Mir\u00f3 Foundation, Barcelona, and the Yanghyun Art Prize, Seoul.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_9772\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-9772\" style=\"width: 640px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-9772 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/museumofnonvisibleart.com\/interviews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/KA-101-1.jpg?resize=640%2C961&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"961\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/museumofnonvisibleart.com\/interviews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/KA-101-1.jpg?resize=682%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 682w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/museumofnonvisibleart.com\/interviews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/KA-101-1.jpg?resize=200%2C300&amp;ssl=1 200w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/museumofnonvisibleart.com\/interviews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/KA-101-1.jpg?resize=768%2C1154&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/museumofnonvisibleart.com\/interviews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/KA-101-1.jpg?resize=696%2C1046&amp;ssl=1 696w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/museumofnonvisibleart.com\/interviews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/KA-101-1.jpg?resize=1068%2C1605&amp;ssl=1 1068w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/museumofnonvisibleart.com\/interviews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/KA-101-1.jpg?resize=280%2C420&amp;ssl=1 280w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/museumofnonvisibleart.com\/interviews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/KA-101-1.jpg?w=1392&amp;ssl=1 1392w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/museumofnonvisibleart.com\/interviews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/KA-101-1.jpg?w=2088&amp;ssl=1 2088w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-9772\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Schizophrenic Melancholia, 2018, Exhibition view \u201cThe Museum of Emotion\u201d, Hayward Gallery, London, UK, 2019 <br \/>Courtesy of the artist and Regen Projects, Photo : Marc Domage<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_9773\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-9773\" style=\"width: 640px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-9773 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/museumofnonvisibleart.com\/interviews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/03_SR_6825.jpg?resize=640%2C427&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/museumofnonvisibleart.com\/interviews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/03_SR_6825.jpg?resize=1024%2C683&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/museumofnonvisibleart.com\/interviews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/03_SR_6825.jpg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/museumofnonvisibleart.com\/interviews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/03_SR_6825.jpg?resize=768%2C512&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/museumofnonvisibleart.com\/interviews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/03_SR_6825.jpg?resize=696%2C464&amp;ssl=1 696w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/museumofnonvisibleart.com\/interviews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/03_SR_6825.jpg?resize=1068%2C712&amp;ssl=1 1068w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/museumofnonvisibleart.com\/interviews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/03_SR_6825.jpg?resize=630%2C420&amp;ssl=1 630w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/museumofnonvisibleart.com\/interviews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/03_SR_6825.jpg?w=1392&amp;ssl=1 1392w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/museumofnonvisibleart.com\/interviews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/03_SR_6825.jpg?w=2088&amp;ssl=1 2088w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-9773\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Shifting Borders, 2018, 3-channel HD digital film on 4 screens, 16:9, colour, sound each, vintage chairs and leg prosthesis. \u201cThe Paradoxes of Modernity\u201d, 43:19 min., \u201cRecycling Colonialism\u201d, 32:12 min., \u201cCatharsis: The Living and the Dead are Looking for Their Bodies\u201d, 48:53 min., Installation view at the 8th Gwangju Biennial, Gwangju, Korea, 2018.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>https:\/\/museumofnonvisibleart.com\/interviews\/interview\/KaderAttia.mp3Subscribe: Apple Podcasts | Spotify | TuneIn | RSS | Click here to join mailing listKader Attia grew up in Paris and in Algeria.
