SALIM BAYRI, Sad Ali, 2017 [small version]
16,2 x 4,9 cm
print, lasered sky leather
signed, numbered, dated
edition 4
€ 250,-
Salim Bayri surrounds himself with an alter ego that he calls Sad Ali, a shortening of “sad alien”. This figure has no organs, undertakes no actions and opposite to a cartoon personality he doesn’t talk. As a kind of ambulant search machine he runs around checking out situations and things.
Salim Bayri: ‘I mostly use computer generated images, sound, footage and short actions because of their speed and fluidity.’
Salim Bayri is nominated for the Nationale Nederlanden Group Award 2018. The other nominees:

Oceaan
Het Arnhemse kunstenaarsinitiatief Oceaan startte in de zomer van 1991 de ‘Tentoonstelling per Post’. Onder het motto “Oceaan komt naar U toe!’, had Hester Oerlemans van Oceaan zeefdrukken gemaakt met vier kunstenaars: Rob Birza, Kees Goudzwaard, Annemie van Kerckhoven en Geert de Rooij. Wie deze vier kunstwerken wilde bekijken, hoefde niet naar Arnhem te gaan. Na overmaking van honderd gulden kreeg je ze thuis gestuurd, en daar kon je je eigen tentoonstelling inrichten. “Ik wilde er iets spannends van maken,” vertelde Hester Oerlemans. “Normaal ga je naar een galerie met allerlei verwachtingen, op basis van de uitnodiging, of een affiche. Wij willen die gang van zaken met dit project doorbreken, en de tentoonstelling zo verrassend mogelijk houden. Dus pas als je thuis per post de zeefdrukken hebt gekregen, weet je hoe de tentoonstelling er uit ziet.”
