What is Art?
by Ryan Clement OF COURSE, I don’t really know the answer to this age-old question, but my very good friends, F and M, may well have come very close to an – rather than ‘the’ – answer. WE WERE CELEBRATING A VICTORY in a recent court case. We were enjoying our meal in Wembley – they had kindly made the journey South for my sole convenience. We, sorry, I had elected for an Indian meal. Had I…

Admission to many museums in the UK are free, so once and a while we drop in to get to see local art. Here are some photos of art with themes of colonization, injustice, and issues of our time at Tate Liverpool.

This photo is of a Palestinian woman in what’s left of her home during the Sabra Camp massacre in 1982. It is by Don McCullin, a British photographer who covered the Lebanese Civil War during his visits in 1976 and 1982. Palestinian refugees fled to Lebanon after the establishment of Israel in 1948 in what was once a part of Palestine. The war in Lebanon led to massacres of Muslim neighborhoods including Palestinians in the Sabra refugee camp.

The late Zarina Hashmi was an Indian-American artist born in India, whose family was displaced by the 1947 partition of India after British colonial rule. While her sister Rani moved to Pakistan, Zarina eventually traveled the world, staying in touch with her sister everywhere she went. “Letters from Home” use these letters from Rani as a basis for the art, as they are written in Urdu and printed along with depictions of blue prints and maps of the places Zarina had lived through the years.
Tumblr media
Kader Attia was born in France to Algerian parents, and later grew up in Algeria. Believe it or not, this artwork is made out of food. Specifically, couscous, a staple in Algeria as well as the rest of North Africa. Near the exhibit is a photo of Swiss-French architect Le Corbusier, who applied modernist architecture during the French colonial period in Algeria near the mid 1900s. In this artwork Attia seems to shape buildings in the modernist style, depicting the ancient hilltop city of Ghardaia in Algeria. The buildings are molded in couscous, and cracks and crumbling areas in the buildings could be seen as weathering from both the city’s old age and French colonization.

Torkwase Dyson handcrafted these huge, black structures and placed them in a large dark space on the first floor of Tate Liverpool. Dyson’s abstract works “grapple with the ways in which space is perceived, imagined and negotiated particularly by black and brown bodies.” This installation, “Liquid a Place,” definitely displays this, with these huge statues of what seam like heavy slabs of the darkest marble. They definitely convey the weight of colonization for me, and the artist description of them echoing “the curve of a ship’s hull” got me the most. Tate Liverpool sits in what was once one of Europe’s busiest ports serving the Transatlantic Slave Trade.
Tumblr media
Lubaina Himid was one of the pioneers of the UK’s Black Art movement in the 1980s. “Carrot Piece” shows a white figure hovering a carrot over a Black woman carrying her own plentiful batch of food and items. The white figure is on a unicycle and wears light make up, conveying ridiculousness or crude entertainment, as if a clown. These are cut-out wooden paintings that are life-sized and was made for, as Himid wrote in her description, “…the moment when you slowly realise that you have learned something quite useful about yourself which proves to be a whole lot better than anything ever offered to you for free.”
Tumblr media
Kerry James Marshall is known for his colorful paintings depicting Black people in dark shades. He counters “Western pictorial tradition” and brings forward Black figures in it. This work shows a Black figure wearing a British royal guard uniform, holding a sandwich board advertising a fish and chips restaurant named after a freedman, prominent writer, and British slavery abolitionist Olaudah Equiano. The irony of this art, is that it does not show a place in England. It is a scene in Arizona, where a “London Bridge” was made to attract American tourism.

It's fucking scary that Andrew fucking Tate speaks better on the genocide matter than "muslim", "Arab", "Egyptian" Mo, the cunt, Salah.
They call him Arab's pride. He's nothing but a disgrace. And I'm Egyptian, believe me, I know.

Jour 3 : Liverpool et ses parcs
Ce matin, j'ai pris mon temps, j'ai discuté avec mon hôte, Eiran, et j'ai pu faire ma première lessive. Bref !
Je termine mon délire sur les Beatles (promis après j'arrête), en me rendant à Strawberry Field, ça vous dit aussi quelque chose non ? Il s'agissait d'un orphelinat auprès duquel le petit John Lennon avait l'habitude de jouer. Il n'existe plus aujourd'hui et le portail est une reproduction mais que voulez-vous... Si ça peut attirer le chaland !

Pour contrebalancer le tumulte de la ville d'hier, j'ai passer un moment dans le poumon vert de Liverpool, à savoir Sefton Park et sa magnifique Palm House. J'ai poursuivi sur Princes Park et terminé sur St James Garden à proximité de la cathédrale que j'ai pu photographier sous un meilleur angle.

Petit tour dans le quartier bobo où les jeunes branchouilles se retrouvent à Baltic Market, quartier qui regorge de street art, et ça, ça fait plaisir !

Ce soir, je tente des photos de Liverpool by night, de quoi peut-être refaire un article sur la ville.
En tout cas, j'ai apprécié passer du temps ici !
C'est vivant, c'est un savant mélange d'ancien et de moderne dans l'architecture de la ville qui a su se relever de son passé industriel avec un gros accent sur la culture notamment. Qui a dit que la culture ça ne servait à rien ?!
