玛丽安 · 古德曼巴黎画廊很高兴举办塔瓦雷斯 · 斯特拉坎在巴黎空间的首次个展“绝对黑暗” (In Total Darkness),并与艺术家在贝浩登画廊巴黎空间的个展“光天化日”(In Broad Daylight)同期展出。这两个展览与今年春季玛丽安 · 古德曼纽约画廊举办的个展“觉醒”构成了艺术家的展览三部曲。三场展览均围绕着隐形的概念展开——这是斯特拉坎艺术创作中的一个关键概念——并分别表现了一天中的不同时段,即黎明、白天和黑夜。艺术家通过这一展览三部曲设计了不同的视觉章节,使每一章节都挖掘出鲜为人知的故事,凸显历史上被忽视的人物。

参观者在展厅中的参观路线遵循的是海地第一位国王亨利 · 克里斯托夫(1767 - 1820)的人生轨迹。克里斯托夫积极参与了1791年在法属圣多明戈(现称海地)发起的反对法国殖民的第一次黑人起义。他作为弗朗索瓦-多米尼克 · 杜桑 · 卢维杜尔的副官参加了海地革命,这场为争取独立而进行的斗争持续了13年,并于1804年获得胜利。最终,他成为海地总统,并因首创海地货币、稳定经济、促进教育以及加强公共卫生举措而广受认可。1811年,他将自己加冕为国王,并自称亨利一世。1820年,他试图避免政变而自杀。尽管作家艾梅 · 塞泽尔在1963年创作了一部有关他的戏剧《克里斯托夫王的悲剧》,但他的故事在很大程度上仍然未受到重视。

Tavares Strachan
In Total Darkness
15 October - 26 November 2022
The exhibition at Galerie Marian Goodman is a journey into time and space, mingling past and contemporary narratives through a series of domestic and spiritual spaces. Through this immersive and site-specific experience, which incorporates mixed-media and multilayered sculptural works, Strachan summons a large spectrum of historical and cultural references. In Total Darkness engages with French colonialism through an investigation of the Haitian Revolution, the first victorious revolt of Black slaves, and in so doing, Strachan questions our presumed knowledge of history.
Central to the exhibition is The Encyclopedia of Invisibility, an ongoing research project presented for the first time in France. The work “has to do with people, places and things that have been left out of history. And I thought it would be fitting to use this encyclopedia as the kind of groundwork for thinking about ways which things that have been left out become included, a place where all the invisible things can be seen,” Strachan explains. Referencing the Invisible, Strachan’s own journey as a Bahamian-born artist, whose coming of age was marked by a realization that his education had been obscured by a Western-centric vision of the world, comes full circle in this immersive journey that explores key figures of Caribbean history.
The visitor's journey through the parcours of the exhibition is mapped through a trajectory of the first king of Haiti, Henri Christophe (1767 - 1820). Christophe took an active part in the first Black uprisings in Saint-Domingue (now known as Haiti) against the French in 1791. He participated in the Haitian Revolution, a 13-year fight for independence achieved in 1804, as a lieutenant to François-Dominique Toussaint Louverture. Eventually he became president of the country and was recognized for creating its first currency, stabilizing the economy, bolstering education, and fortifying public health initiatives. In 1811 he proclaimed himself King, under the name of Henri I, and died at his own hand in 1820, trying to avoid a coup. Although Aimé Césaire dedicated a play to him in 1963, La Tragédie du roi Christophe, his legacy remains largely overlooked.
