Sunflower Seeds; interview with Ai WeiWei about the production of ceramic seeds for Tate Modern Turbine Hall in London.
Sunflower Seeds was an installation made up of ten million unique porcelain sunflower seeds. However realistic they may seem, these life-sized sunflower seed husks are in fact intricately hand-crafted in porcelain. Each seed has been individually sculpted and painted by specialists working in small-scale workshops in the Chinese city of Jingdezhen. Far from being industrially produced, they are the effort of sixteen hundred inhabitants with skilled hands. The seeds were displayed at Tate Modern Turbine Hall’s vast industrial space, the 100 million seeds formed a seemingly infinite landscape.

“The Tube is full of strangers. We acknowledge this fact, knowing that we too are strangers to others. My project is to photograph a stranger. The person came forward via an open call advertised in the Metro newspaper and on the TfL website. I chose them through a raffleticket system, which did not reveal their name, age or gender. Until we met on a train and I took her photograph, I still didn’t know her identity, and she didn’t know who I was either. For a brief moment, we were total strangers to each other.” Gillian Wearing

The red curlicue is not merely a typographical gesture to emphasise a part of a notion. Here it also expresses the experience of the artist when traveling under the ground from one stop to the next one. Lawrence Weiner says about this wall sign as work:
“One is often confronted by the classic logo of the underground and the transportation system. There has to be something that deals with the sheer wonder and sensual sense of in fact traveling under the ground (being in motion). What has been transcribed to the poster and the plaque is my sense of traveling under the ground”. Hence the interspace between ‘under’ and ‘ground’. KvG

Anahita Razmi has a special relationship with Iran, the homeland of her father. She connects with it on the level of a stranger, as she explains, “Somebody who is on the outside, but who at the same time finds herself in some kind of indefinable relationship with this alien place.” Here she focusses on the question of what happens when ‘Haram'(i.e. sinful in Islamic jurisprudence/forbidden) and ‘Halal'(i.e. lawful/permissable) are transplanted into a different cultural, as well as aesthetic, political context.

This work is part of a Vera List Anniversary Print Portfolio, which includes prints by Dan Graham, Paul RamÃrez Jonas, Sarah Morris, Matt Mullican, Fred Tomaselli, and Fred Wilson.
Fred Tomaselli has often caused controversy with his use of pattern or mosaic like collages of consciousness-altering plants and pills. “I want people to get lost in the work,” says the artist. “In that way the work is pre-Modernist. I throw all of my obsessions and loves into the work, and I try not to be too embarrassed about any of it.”

In this double sided film still Marijke van Warmerdam’s hands are shown sliding across the slats of Venetian blinds. At the other side of the photo another moment is depicted taken from her film ‘Light’ from 2010. Here two moments in one are literally put on display, but cannot be seen simultaneously. The latter being both a strategy of fetching reality and a trademark of the artist.
