Time Out London Critics’ choice:Mémoire by Sammy Baloji at Dilston Grove 2 June – 4 July 2010Film and photographic installationCGP London, in partnership with Autograph ABP, is pleased to announce the first solo exhibition in the UK of Congolese photographer and filmmaker Sammy Baloji in the newly renovated Dilston Grove. Mémoire is an artist film addressing colonial violence, shattered dreams of independence and the postcolonial political fallout that exists within the current Democratic Republic of Congo. Mémoire is a beautifully crafted and abstracted artists video shot in collaboration with the fellow Congolese performance artist Faustin Linyekula. Alongside Mémoire, Autograph ABP have commissioned Baloji to make a new large-scale photographic work that will document the exact site of Patrice Lumumba’s assassination in January 1961.Sammy Baloji’s work shines a powerful spotlight on contemporary Congolese reality. It interrogates the abuse of power and its legacy, revealing the devastating impact that exploitative cultures have on both society and the environment. It calls for greater awareness of the local consequences of ‘development’ and highlights the rights of local people. Baloji creates videos that investigate the body, and, despite restrictions on photographing public sites, he produces images of the Congo ’s urban architecture. His work raises social consciousness and stimulates artistic development in the Katanga region, a locus for colonial and post-colonial exploitation of its wealth of minerals essential for Western technologies.This exhibition was part commissioned by Autograph ABP and is accompanied by an artist’s book available during the exhibition. The staging of Mémoire is supported by the Goethe Institute in Nairobi , Kenya .Venue: Dilston Grove, Southwest corner of Southwark Park , London SE16 2DD Travel: Jubilee Line and buses to Canada Water Exhibition: 2 June – 4 July 2010 Open: Wed – Sun from 12 – 6pm www.cafegalleryproj ects.com‘After two years closure and a £870,000 renovation project, Dilston Grove reopens with a mesmerising installation.’ Telegraph, 01 June 2010Emma BoydAutograph ABP CoordinatorRivington Place London EC2A 3BA Mob: 07734682239T +44 (0)20 7749 1266 F +44 (0)20 7739 8748 E emma@autograph- abp.co.uk W www.autograph- abp.co.uk/Follow Autograph on Twitter http://www.twitter.com/AutographABPEVENTS2 June – 4 July 2010 – Sammy Baloji – Memoiré – Dilston Grove Gallery, Southwark Park , London8 June 2010 – Zanele Muholi In Conversation talk 7:00pm at Rivington Place , London 17 September – 21 November - Ever Young: Retrospective Exhibition of Photographs by James Barnor6 October – 21 November 2010 - Du Bois, Thomas J Calloway and the Paris Albums 1900Rivington Place - the new home for Autograph ABP http://www.rivingtonplace.org/ Autograph ABP is a charity that works internationally to educate the public in photography, with a particular emphasis on issues of cultural identity and human rights.
