Kunstmuseum Basel | Gegenwart hosts the Swiss premiere of Tacita Dean's 35mm film Antigone (2018). The presentation of the hourlong film is contextualized by other films, photographs, photogravures, and chalk drawings of the British-European artist.
Antigone revolves around the name ‘Antigone’ and how it resonates, not only in Greek literary history, but also in the artist’s own life. Antigone is the name of Dean’s older sister so was one of the first words the artist ever learnt. ‘Antigone’ is also the eponymous heroine in the Theban trilogy of plays by the Greek tragedian Sophocles, which led Dean to intertwine her own story with the mythological cosmic order of classical antiquity.
The screening of Antigone is complemented by a small collection of works by Dean that closely relate to this film, as well as a recent large-scale blackboard drawing.
Tacita Dean: Antigone / Kunstmuseum Basel | Gegenwart, Basel (Switzerland). Vernissage, August 26, 2021.
