Beskrivelse av samlerobjektet

Melancholy of birds B, by Ali Cherri, is based on an assembly of animals and plants forming a coherent whole and constitutes a reimagining of the imagery of 19th century herbariums. The practice of collage, grafting, and hybridization for which the artist is known is the result of a restrained reading of our world, wavering between science and poetry. Of the three lithographs, the central section depicts a bird on a background of flowers. It disappears into a wash of blue and viewers will only be able to make out its contours through very close observation.

Om kunstneren

The Weaver of Memory and Motion

In the contemporary art landscape, few voices resonate with the profound sensitivity to heritage and transformation found in the work of Ali Cherri. Born in Beirut in 1976, Cherri’s artistic identity is inextricably linked to the complex, layered histories of Lebanon and the broader Middle Eastern landscape. His practice, which seamlessly weaves together the tactile presence of sculpture with the ephemeral nature of film, serves as a meticulous documentation of cultural memory. Moving from his formative years in Beirut to pursuing advanced studies in Amsterdam and Paris, Cherri has developed a global perspective that remains deeply rooted in the soil of his homeland. His work does not merely observe the passage of time; it seeks to capture the very essence of metamorphosis, exploring how landscapes, architectures, and identities shift under the pressures of globalization and conflict.

Cherri’s artistic evolution is marked by a transition from exploring urban narratives and architectural spaces to investigating much larger, more symbolic themes. His sculptural practice, in particular, is renowned for its ambitious scale and its ability to embody complex philosophical ideas through physical form. A definitive example of this is his 2017 masterpiece, Flying Machine. This monumental wooden sculpture, designed with the intricate anatomy of a dragonfly, acts as a profound tribute to the pioneers of aviation—from the scientific visions of Abbas Ibn Firnas and Leonardo da Vinci to the historic breakthroughs of the Wright Brothers. By utilizing wood, a material deeply embedded in Lebanese tradition, Cherri creates a tension between the organic, ancient textures of the earth and the soaring, technological aspirations of the human spirit. The piece functions as more than an object; it is a tangible manifestation of his belief in confronting challenges through adaptation and flight.

Cinematic Landscapes and Global Recognition

Beyond the physical weight of his sculptures, Cherri’s work as a filmmaker and video installation artist allows him to delve into the temporal dimensions of history. Using both found and original footage, he constructs multi-channel installations that act as portals to significant historical sites. His explorations have taken him from the grandeur of ʻIolani Palace in Hawaii—capturing the transformative legacy of the Hawaiian monarchy—to the archaeological depths of the Middle East. Through these cinematic endeavors, Cherri investigates how sites of power and memory are reshaped by time, creating a dialogue between the seen and the unseen, the historical and the contemporary. His films often function as meditations on the preservation of culture against the eroding forces of modernity.

The significance of Ali Cherri’s contribution to contemporary art is reflected in his extensive exhibition history at some of the world's most prestigious institutions. His work has graced the halls of the Guggenheim New York, the Tate Modern in London, and the Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris. His presence at major international gatherings, such as the Venice Biennale and the Berlinale Film Festival, underscores his role as a vital voice in the global art dialogue. Through these diverse platforms, Cherri continues to challenge his audience to look closer at the traces of the past, finding beauty in the wreckage of history and hope in the persistent human drive toward transformation.

To understand the breadth of his impact, one might consider the following milestones of his career:

  • Cultural Documentation: A lifelong commitment to recording the environmental and architectural shifts within Lebanon and the Middle East.
  • Interdisciplinary Mastery: The seamless integration of sculptural form, video installation, and mixed media to explore themes of archaeology and identity.
  • Global Artistic Presence: Recognition through major exhibitions at the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA), MACBA in Spain, and the Sursock Museum in Beirut.
  • Symbolic Innovation: The use of monumental works like Flying Machine to bridge the gap between historical scientific legacy and contemporary ecological concerns.
