Simon Starling
AIT ARTIST TALK #45: "Journeys to the Memory of Place"
by British Artist Simon Starling
AIT will host a talk by the British artist Simon Starling on March 31st, starting 19:00.
This talk is supported by The Hiroshima Museum of Contemporary Art, where Simon
Starling will hold a one person exhibition in 2011.
Simon Starling (b.1967) was the winner of The Turner Prize in 2005, and is currently in Japan
visiting Hiroshima, Kyoto and Tokyo researching towards his exhibition next year.
Starling uses various research methods to draw out episodes and histories, exposing
the changing relationships, conflicts and mobility of culture.
His works manifest the passage of time and processes. This research based attitude
is perhaps similar to the anthropologist or explorer who journeys towards some truth.
In this talk Starling will introduce his works, which extend the horizons of the imagination
and contemporary art now.
