Review
“With a view to Fareed Armaly’s position on the increasing censorship within German cultural politics Sabeth Buchmann will discuss the artist’s contribution to documenta 11 (2002) regarding the shifts within ‘dialogical transnational exchanges’ (F.A.) since 1989, which the artist addresses in his letter of rejection of the Käthe Kollwitz Prize awarded to him in summer 2024. Based on an earlier reading of From/To as a diagrammatic space1 that simultaneously materialises and abstracts infrastructures of cultural memory of the Palestinian diaspora, the lecture will also ask for the artistic and historiographic meaning of a trans-aesthetic retooling of collected and presented materials.”
