Wherever I Am
"Artists Yael Bartana and Emily Jacir were both born in 1970. Their work in video, photography and other media explores what it means to be, respectively, Israeli and Palestinian. Addressing issues of national identity, displacement and personal freedom, they are among the most impressive artists of their generation." "Lee Miller (1907-1977) has a unique place in the history of twentieth century photography. She is best known for her Surrealist infused reports for Vogue Magazine during the Second World War." "This special book, which both accompanies and is a legacy of the exhibition Wherever I Am, includes essays on Yael Bartana's work by award winning novelist Linda Grant and by curator Galit Eilat; on Emily Jacir's work by critic Tom Vanderbilt and the late Edward W. Said, a writer and intellectual of world renown; and on Lee Miller's wartime photography by David Alan Mellor, Professor of Art History at the University of Sussex." "With an introduction by Andrew Nairne, curator of Wherever I Am and Director of Modern Art Oxford, discussing the background to the exhibition, the book also includes reproductions of works by each artist, biographies and bibliographies."--BOOK JACKET.
Yael Bartana
This first monograph dedicated to the work of Yael Bartana (b. 1970 Israel) gives a comprehensive overview of the artist's films, installations, performative projects, photographs, and sound works of the past 15 years.From Bartana's early video vignettes to her most recent project, What if Women Ruled the World? (2017), by way of her monumental trilogy, And Europe Will Be Stunned (2007-2011) with which she represented Poland at the 54th Venice Biennale, the book highlights the artist's fascination with the ways in which social rituals shape both individual identities and collective memory.Far from a mode of direct documentation, Bartana's works are themselves modelled on the aesthetics of th...

Yael Bartana
Yael Bartana (born in 1970 in Israel) makes work largely about her conflicted homeland. She has an exceptionally sensitive eye for public ritual and ceremony, both organized and spontaneous. Her videos document such moments, often slowing them down or editing them in ways that focus on the intimate actions that define a person's public persona and private uncertainties.
Yael Bartana
She Is Hope. She Is the Leader. She Is the Messiah. She Is History. She Is Fake. The video artist Yael Bartana (b. Kfar Yehezkel, Israel, 1970; lives and works in Amsterdam and Berlin) makes work that explores the visual language of identity and the politics of commemoration. The critical scrutiny of collective expectations of political or religious salvation is a central concern in her art. In the video installation Malka Germania--Hebrew for "Queen Germany"--Bartana creates alternative realities from the German-Jewish past and present that bring scenes of the collective unconscious to light. The publication follows the epiphany of Malka Germania, a female redeemer figure, in five chapters whose layout is modeled on that of the Talmud, the central text in Rabbinical Judaism. This organization reflects the polyphonic complexity, rich nuance, and ambivalence that the work casts into visuals and underscores that there is no simple answer. The book includes an interview with the artist and contributions by Sami Berdugo, Christina von Braun, Michael Brenner, Max Czollek, and others. It is published on occasion of the exhibition Yael Bartana--Redemption Now at the Jewish Museum Berlin.
Two Minutes of Standstill
Contemporary ideas of history have bid farewell to the concept of one big narration as a hegemonic product that excludes other histories. With regard to the Holocaust this means that individual biographies of victims and testimonies from eyewitnesses form the archival corpus of this history. But using individual testimonies as historical revelation is not enough. Inspired by the Israeli memorial day Yom HaShoah, the holiday that commemorates victims and resistance fighters of the Holocaust, Yael Bartana's Two Minutes of Standstill took place on June 28, 2013, at 11 a.m., as part of the Impulse Theater Biennale in the city of Cologne. A symbolic interruption of everyday life, Two Minutes of S...

Time in Feminist Phenomenology
The contributors to this international volume take up questions about a phenomenology of time that begins with and attunes to gender issues. Themes such as feminist conceptions of time, change and becoming, the body and identity, memory and modes of experience, and the relevance of time as a moral and political question, shape Time in Feminist Phenomenology and allow readers to explore connections between feminist philosophy, phenomenology, and time. With its insistence on the importance of gender experience to the experience of time, this volume is a welcome opening to new and critical thinking about being, knowledge, aesthetics, and ethics.
