Marker is Art Dubai’s curated programme of galleries and artspaces, which focuses each year on a particular theme or geography. This section aims to exemplify the fair's role as a site of discovery and cross-cultural exchange, and is a feature of Art Dubai’s extensive not-for-profit programming. In 2015, Marker turns its focus to Latin America, and the connections between this region and the Arab world–from hundreds of years of migration to today’s trading relationships, via a shared sensibility and approach to art practices.

2015
Marker 2015 takes a broad and open look into what it is to produce and work with art in Latin America today. It then goes on to imagine, build and realise bridges between the Arab world and Latin America – never claiming to be comprehensive nor exhaustive, but instead aiming to bring together strong and meaningful insights on a common platform. Even for those familiar with these two very distant regions of the world, it is astonishing to realise how the apparent distance between the two is in fact diminished through cultural, visual and physical traits. The Arab diaspora in Latin America was vast by the end of the nineteen century and even more so into the twentieth -- so much so that it’s often calculated that there are more Lebanese descendants in Brazil than in Lebanon, while Chile hosts one of the largest Palestinian communities in the world. Argentina, Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador, Mexico, Dominican Republic -- all these countries have been a destination for thousands of Arabs. One simply sees, feels -- even smells -- similarities when thinking of and experiencing both regions, be it in the food, the people, the language – and of course, the art. Artistic practices are reflections of life in its many forms and demonstrations. This thought was the starting point for this year’s Marker: how can we show what artists are thinking about in Latin America; how have artists in that region been influenced by Arab cultures; and will these connections prove pertinent? The curatorial process behind the project this year came about in a quite organic way, one discipline leading to the next and the relationships being made along the way. To start off, two publishers – The State from Dubai and Tijuana from São Paulo – bring together the work of other publishers from their regions. Marina Buendia and Maria Quiroga collaborated to select a group of sound works from across Latin America, experienced at the fair in specially designed furniture by Argentinean artist Nicolás Robbio. Artist Maria Jose Arjona has developed an enthralling history of Latin American (and influential international) performance, enacted by UAE-based artists and students, trained by the renowned Colombian artist. Associação Cultural Videobrasil takes over the Art Dubai Cinema with a considered selection of film and video works by both Arab and Latin American artists, curated by Thereza Farkas.

CURATORIAL STATEMENT
The exhibition ‘Building Imaginary Bridges Across Hard Ground’ brings together more than 20 Latin American artists and focuses on understated but acute relationships between the two regions. The thread continues through two additional projects which question identities, culture, history and belonging. La Ene – Nuevo Museo Energía de Arte Contemporáneo is a mobile museum of contemporary art from Buenos Aires – an itinerant institution which at Art Dubai occupies a central platform within Hall 1 with ready-made and hand-carried works from its collection. Finally, Sadud a Ragul, a food kiosk that usually forms a part of the independent project space Lugar a Dudas, run by well-known artist Oscar Muñoz, in Cali, Colombia. It was while eating homemade Colombian falafel with Oscar and Sally that the conversation turned to our species’ mobilisation in the world, the history of emigration, the blurring of cultures and backgrounds – themes at the heart of Marker 2015. It does not matter if the empathy, the connection or the feeling of resemblance comes through a book, an artwork, a film, something you eat or something you listen to – it does not even matter if nothing comes at all, what matters is that bridges are made through art, be them imaginary or not.

When we speak of a place like Dubai, we usually speak of its extremes. We speak of its bargraphed skylines clad in plate glass and Gulf Futurist condensations or its exploited labour class, and rarely anything in between. As a publication, The State is intimately concerned with exploring this grey area and of reimplicating the multiple communities that call the city home back into a narrative they are formally excluded from. At the same time, Dubai constantly overflows and escapes its geographical straitjacket. It’s a city that, in many ways, has a lot more in common with Singapore, Khartoum, Kozhikode, Mexico City than its neighbours in the immediate region.

1. Tijuana newsstand
2015
Opened in 2007, Tijuana started as an initiative of Galeria Vermelho to create an exhibition space to show works, especially artist’s books, that didn’t fit smoothly into traditional exhibition spaces. For five years Tijuana occupied a space that was strategically on the border of the gallery. In 2013 Tijuana moves into a newsstand installed in the courtyard of Galeria Vermelho, where we are currently. Newsstands are a typical commercial point of the streets in São Paulo, they are designed to distribute publications such as newspapers, magazines and pocket books. Transforming Tijuana into a newsstand highlights the contrast between the artist books and the white cube. At Tijuana’s newsstand, besides selling books published by us, we distributed about 18 Latin American publishers. We also have a space to display our collection of artist’s books and publications, which has about 400 titles and is available for consultation.

When thinking about the connections and distances between Latin America and the Arab World, language is one of the elements that come to mind. Sound precedes oral language, so what is heard will require translation to transform acoustics into meaning. Sonido, the Spanish word for sound, gives title to this survey of artists from Latin America whose practice explores the narrative, aesthetical and experimental force of sound. The works featured in Sonido include Vinyl LPs, sound pieces in MP3 format, acoustic sculptures and even a radio station for the duration of the fair. Given that the works are time based, Argentinian artist NicolĂĄs Robbio designed an exhibition display of modular furniture that not only invites the audience to dwell in the show but also brings the works together. The pieces presented in Sonido have many biasses: from vocal research to sound collage, from historical documentation to complex musical compositions, from evoking chants of emigrants in SĂŁo Paulo to underground Chilean music.

VIVIAN CACCURI (b. 1986, Brazil. Lives and works in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil) Her work creates interrelations among sound phenomena, architecture, public space, voice and imagination. At Princeton University she wrote her first book Music is What I Make (2012), published in Brazil and awarded by Funarte Prize of Critical Production in Music in 2013. With the “Silent Walk” project she was resident at CAPECETE in Rio de Janeiro in 2012, at Pivô in São Paulo in 2014 and aboard the Sound Development City expedition in the Latvian and Finish capitals. Pagode, 2014 Safety net, samba bells, acrylic Pagode series was created during the silent walk n.16’s research, at the harbor area of Rio de Janeiro in July 2014. Until then, the debris of the demolition of Elevado da Perimetral were being slowly removed from Gamboa’s main area and hundreds of holes were opened on the ground for the installation of new sewer and energy systems. Holes were isolated for pedestrians’ safety with orange and blue nets. Remains of that material were used to build these objects, after they went through a “negative weaving” process that shredded parts of the web, for creating drawings, overlaying and loose parts. Pagode is a combination of safety net with samba bells, instrument largely used by samba groups.

CHELPA FERRO (created in 1995 by the artists: Jorge Barrão, Luiz Zerbini, Sergio Mekler. Rio de Janeiro, Brasil) These three artists, already independently renowned, got together under the umbrella “Chelpa Ferro”— Portuguese slang for money and steel—with the objective of doing some leisurely experimentation outside the constraints of their primary individual art careers. Their fresh, somewhat chaotic, and savvy interdisciplinary approach to objects that they transform into animate sculptures and sound-creating devices has garnered them an important place in the Brazilian art world, including representing their country in the twenty-fifth São Paulo Biennial.

Two contact and two omnidirectional microphones were positioned on the soundboard of a grand piano turned upside down inside a small boat, to record the resonances of the strings of the piano as it passed through the waves and was affected by the vibration of the motor and the environment. The movement of the boat through water creates a kind of roving ambient experience of place filtered by the piano's acoustic properties.

KEVIN SIMON MANCERA (b.1982, Colombia. Lives and works in Bogota, Colombia) Mancera’s drawings employ dark humor and pessimism as a healthy counterpart to a consumerist and optimistic society. His work is characterized by intimacy from an introspective perspective. Through a diverse drawing cadence (sometimes becoming cartoonish, other times hyperrealistic), Mancera approaches the world: “...my work begins from the observation of my surroundings, I go into a graphic, daily, obsessive reflection of the constant prints on the world, not only of psychological states, but also of the social messages and realities that appear around me.” Volcanmudo, 2012, Online streaming Kevin creates a radio program connected to a specific theme.

BERNARDO ORTIZ (b.1972, Colombia. Lives and works in Bogota, Colobia) Bernardo Ortiz’s work often involves the rewriting and reconceptualization of images. Using drawing as his favorite tool, he takes existing images and pictures them anew them, frequently through obsolete techniques or processes. (Filipa Oliveira) His work is in collections as MoMA, Patricia Phelps de Cisneros (NYC) and Kadist Foundation, Paris. 12 abstract matters, 2012-2013, Vinyl LP 331/3rpm. Book in a rigid case Edition of 500, unumbered “12 Abstract Matters” is originally an installation that Ortiz first presented at the Bienal de São Paulo in 2012. It departs from James Ensor’s etching Stars in the Cemetery, 1888. This image lies at the edge of abstraction, and it was precisely the idea that its subject was on the verge of disappearance that attracted Ortiz. On a vinyl record playing continuously in the gallery, one hears the voice of a Brazilian woman who has been given the task of dividing the etching into a grid of one-centimeter squares and then verbally describing each square in turn. But from time to time she strays from this tedious and wearisome process and she begins to tell stories, twelve of them in all. The spiral groove of the record is translated into an imaginary line of the same length passing through the pages of a book meant to be perused while listening to the record.

I started interviewing acquaintances of mine whom suggested me other people, and so on. The idea was to create a web. At the end of each interview, I asked them to sing songs that their mother used to sing to them as a child, a lullaby or any other song in their native tongue. It was a very emotional experience. It took a while for some of them to remember, and, at times, long intervals full of tears for others before they could sing. “Cantos” is the edition of these memories.” The languages heard in this project include: Hungarian, Austrian German, German, Chinese, Swedish, Japanese, Italian, Korean, Argentinian, Spanish, Galician, Lebanese, Turkish, French, English, Hebrew and Ladino.

'Object-Subject' delineates a relationship between the body and the world, where subjectivity as we understand it, is transformed into a plane or site specific/territory from where to relate to something located outside of it. The body conceived as connector, generates different narratives and poetics, always thriving to multiply its capacity to create, react and enact. Beyond identity but clearly understanding the nature of human existence, the body is located at the center of all conversations. In Latin America due to the process of colonization and Violence, simultaneously under the influence of European and American history, the cultural result is the amalgamation of diverse tensions and struggles but also a peculiar way to navigate beyond these contingencies.

PERFORMANCE
OBJECT-SUBJECT
The works selected for this proposal are performances where the body has an affirming quality due to the understanding of its own transformational power. They create a conversation where the world is presented as platform for knowledge and interaction but also as a place of constant flow. If we understand our relationship with a place, based on its changing quality, we address immediately the essence of human nature: to move, to connect, to relate, to participate, to travel; these are conditions that create a mutual correspondence between them (the world and the body). Maria Jose Arjona (Bogotá, 1973) works and lives between New York, Miami and Bogotá Her practice is mainly focused on long durational performances. Arjona’s work has been exhibited throughout the world. She was one of the performers chosen by Marina Abramovic for 'The Artist Is Present' retrospective at MoMA in New York in 2010. In 2009, she was an artist-in-residence at the Robert Wilson’s Watermill Arts Center.

SELECTED ARTISTS AND PROJECTS MARIA JOSE ARJONA (b.1973, Colombia. Lives and works between New York, Miami and Bogota) Permanent, 2009-2010 Video, performance Four-Legged Animal, 2009-2010, Video, performance Her body of work is divided into single pieces and performance cycles which operate in synchronicity within the chronological timeline; simultaneously, the performance cycles create a diverging path where the artist compiles different works to understand the meaning of specific concepts and their effects on the body. Both – concepts and effects – unfold into dynamics where the presence of the artist functions outside the boundaries of identity. Arjona’s work does not respond to or denounce events in particular: the performances themselves are transformed into questions or bridges uniting distant points of diverse conversations. Her main objective then, is to become a transition, a connecting entity operating as a medium of visual communication and energy exchange.

The exhibition references ‘Tlön, Uqbar, Orbis Tertius’ by Jorge Luis Borges, the most respected author of literary fiction from Argentina; as in many of Borges’ writings, this short story features parallel yet intertwined narratives, that gift the reader many possible encounters and finales – just like the works in this exhibition. Latin America and the Arab World are regions so vast and prolific that just making sense of them is a task in itself. Immersing oneself in not only the artistic practices of the regions themselves, but also practices that are influenced by them, is akin to entering a Borges-like labyrinth, where all interactions and outcomes are possible. The exhibition takes a salon-style approach,

with works selected and hung in an organic yet deliberate way; together, they trace themes of literature, philosophy, reproduction, coding and language. The bridges of the exhibition’s title are both imaginary and real; they end up leading to a multitude of cultural mirrors. For Borges, literature exists through history in reflective layers: to write is always to re- write, to plagiarise is to reflect on something that has been thought or seen before. Here the aim is to understand a little more who we are, where we come from, and how our cultures can find themselves through these metaphorical mirrors.

This programme developed exclusively for the 2015 edition of Marker Art Dubai, was conceived with pieces that have integrated the last four editions of the Contemporary Art Festival SESC_Videobrasil and includes videos from eleven meaningful names in contemporary Brazilian production, presenting artists with more incipient productions, such as the young Guilherme Peters, to one of video pioneers in Brazil, Eder Santos. The protagonism of the Lebanese production in Videobrasil Collection is also central to understanding the input of our institution in the Middle East. In this sense, it was also prepared an exclusive day on the programme with pieces from some of the prominent Lebanese artists in the contemporary art scene, highlighting the importance of the recurrent participation of artists such as Akram Zaatari and Ali Cherri in actions undertaken by Videobrasil over the last decades of its existence, period in which the relationship of the association with the region has become more evident.

SELECTED ARTWORKS Ayrson Heráclito, As Mãos do Epô, 2007, Video, 11’11” Hands dance across palm oil, dipping into an environment replete with ancestral fluids. The different uses and meanings of palm oil provide the platform on which to base an understanding of the emblems of Afro-Bahian culture. Cinthia Marcelle, Cruzada, 2010, Video, 8’36” Availing of aspects of performance, painting, video art, and sound art, the work explores the dynamics between repetition and variation in raising questions about sociocultural conflicts. Sixteen musicians, divided into four groups of four, with each group wearing a different color, converge from the four sides of a crossroads. The music becomes more harmonized and synchronized as the colors mix. Eduardo Climachauska, Gustavo Moura and Nuno Ramos, Iluminai os Terreiros, 2006, Video, 43’30” A team installs circles of light—made with lampposts positioned in rings—in five different locations and keeps watch over them throughout the night, filming the resulting transformations and occurrences. Guilherme Peters, Inimigo Invisível, 2011, Video, 15’52” The work, commissioned by Associacao Cultural Videobrasil, was made at the Casa Tomada residency, in Sao Paulo, between April and July 2011. In a work that resembles a sequence shot, a tense situation unfolds without denouement, like a promised conquest that goes undelivered: a soldier in some unidentified place pursues an enemy that doesn’t show himself. The video criticizes the military ethos and severely questions the politically and socially transformative power of art.

Tatiana Blass , Metade da fala no chão_Piano Surdo, 2010, Video, 19’20” The work began with a performance at the 29th Bienal de Sao Paulo at which a pianist played five pieces of music by Frederic Chopin while two men melted a large amount of wax over his grand piano. As the wax cooled and dried, the pianist found it harder and harder to play the music. Like other works by Blass, this video discusses ephemerality, evanescence and the limits of artistic language. Eder Santos, Pilgrimage, 2010, Video, 14’13” Pilgrimage follows the processing of iron ore from its extraction to transportation and eventual shipment. Viewed from a perspective that reinvents the quality of the event, the work analyzes the relationship between nature and culture, and shuffles the viewer-work-industry triad. Caetano Dias, Rabeca, 2013, Video, 71’ A fiddler crosses the Sao Francisco River basin, a semiarid region of the Bahian hinterlands, where he meets real and sometimes created characters. A fictional documentary that is ethnographical in spirit and poetic in tone, the work inventories centuries-old customs still alive and well in towns like Irece, Lapao, Xique-Xique, Bom Jesus da Lapa, and Correntina. In these environments, the artist creates symbolic relationships of belonging out of emotional memory and immaterial heritage. Mounira Al Solh, Rawane’s Song, 2006, Video, 7’11” A video about a Lebanese woman who does not want to talk about war. Taking this as her premise, she assumes an ironic discourse, but cannot shake the avoided theme. The voice substituted by subtitles leaves space for silence, in which we can hear Rawane’s footsteps.

Cristiano Lenhardt, Solenidade de hasteamento da bandeira “ao vivo”, 2009, Video, 6’ A military parade is playfully enacted before a Super 8 camera and ends with the raising of flags on disused poles in public spaces throughout Porto Alegre. An allegory with political and historical connotations that manages to be at once simple and eloquent, the work evokes the official aesthetic of State presentations during the Brazilian military dictatorship.

As he waits in line, the author reveals the chaos that has set in. Akram Zaatari, Tomorrow Everything Will Be Alright, 2010, Video, 12’ A story of love, loss, and nostalgia unfolds through a night’s intense exchange of ideas. An unsettling use of communication technology, recording, and writing makes the work’s focus oscillate between a dream, an audiovisual script, and the desired love. The work is a sort of tribute to the French filmmaker Eric Rohmer and the attention he paid to the minutiae of everyday life. Ali Cherri, Un Cercle autour du soleil, 2005, Video, 15’19” As the camera slowly reveals the ruins of Beirut, the author’s voice describes the intimate presence of the Lebanese civil war throughout his childhood and speaks of the discovery of subjectivity during nighttime bombardments.

"Solidaridad Obrera" (Worker Solidarity) is an exhibition about La Ene and its collection. La Ene is a museum based in Argentina that was born in 2010 as an exhibition space as well as a platform for institutional critique in response to Buenos Aires lack of a proper contemporary arts museum. The “Worker solidarity” slogan comes from a Catalan anarchist newspaper published in 1907. It is “based on the notion of mutual support as a means for the working class to seize power”, and it is used by Esteban Valdés in a recent piece for our art archives. The pieces in our collection are

not stored in their physical form but as a signed contract between our institution and the artists who give us the reproduction permissions of their work. This collection is stored in a hard drive, but it doesn’t mean it’s exclusively conformed by digital pieces but that they can actually acquire a digital form for their storage. It’s a hybrid set combining traditional notions of collection and filing with information technologies. The pieces can be reproduced according to the space to fill: some exist in memory, some are printed, others remade or projected. A pixel is a pixel everywhere; a memory is expanded beyond a building.
