Description
Alfredo Jaar explores the aesthetics of trauma and confronts the failure of representation in relation to human suffering and atrocity in works such as The Rwanda Project (1994-2000), his well-known photo-based installation about the Rwanda genocide, and The Cloud (2000), a performance project about the loss of life associated with the U.S.-Mexico border crisis. Self-described as an “architect creating art,” Jaar was a Guggenheim fellow in 1985 and a MacArthur Fellow in 2000.
In conjunction with ICPRH 204/PEACH 204 Picturing War: Goya to Abu Ghraib taught by Professor Carol Solomon.
