Happy birthday Doris Salcedo! 🎉
Doris has described her practice as ‘driven by the obsessive need to render visible the experiences of the most vulnerable and most anonymous victims of political violence.’
Frieze selects Doris’s installation ‘Shibboleth’, which was installed in Tate Modern’s Turbine Hall in 2007, as one of the 25 best works of the 21st Century.
'The Turbine Hall commission at Tate Modern represents an exciting yet daunting challenge for an artist. How to fill that vast, imposing space? Doris Salcedo addressed this in 2007 by creating absence rather than presence – a void to peer into – and one of the simplest and most powerful works of art I’ve seen.’ — Victoria Siddall (victoriamaysiddall)
