Lindsay Seers
Lindsay Seers (born 1966) is a British artist living and working in London. Her installation ''Extramission 6 (Black Maria)'' was included in Nicolas Bourriaud's Tate Triennial, ' Altermodern' in 2009. She was recently awarded the Derek Jarman Award with a commission of four short films for Channel 4; the Paul Hamlyn Award in 2010 and the Sharjah Art Foundation Award in 2012.

Nicolas Bourriaud in his book Altermodern (Tate Triennial 2009) describes her work as ‘ceaselessly re-editing the documentary of her life as a black woman in modern day Britain’, although in fact her works use biography more widely as a locus for a complex intertwining of events. Early life Seers was born in 1966 in Mauritius into a naval family. Seers didn't speak until she was seven years old after the family's departure from the island.

Altermodern
Altermodern, a portmanteau word defined by Nicolas Bourriaud, is an attempt at contextualizing art made in today's global context as a reaction against standardisation and commercialism. It is also the title of the Tate Britain's fourth Triennial exhibition curated by Bourriaud. Concept In his keynote speech to the 2005 Art Association of Australia & New Zealand Conference, Nicolas Bourriaud explained: Artists are looking for a new modernity that would be based on translation: What matters today is to translate the cultural values of cultural groups and to connect them to the world network. This “reloading process” of modernism according to the twenty-first-century issues could be called altermodernism, a movement connected to the creolisation of cultures and the fight for autonomy, but also the possibility of producing singularities in a more and more standardized world. Altermodern can essentially be read as an artist working in a hypermodern world or with supermoder ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
