Life

edit

Aslan Goisum was born in Grozny in 1991. He graduated from the Institute of Contemporary Art in Moscow in 2012, Higher Institute of Fine Arts in Ghent in 2017, and Rijksakademie van Beeldende Kunsten in Amsterdam in 2019.

The artist's first solo exhibition entitled "Untitled (War)" was held in 2011 at Winzavod Center for Contemporary Art in Moscow. Since then, he has participated in numerous international exhibitions.

Work

edit

Goisum is known for his visually and conceptually convincing articulations of the country's colonial history and recent past. Working with the moving image, with objects and installations and works on paper, he brings a shrewd, sophisticated view on historical wrongdoing into crystalline images. He tends to mine memory – collective and personal, political and cultural – for clues about colonial realities, how they have been endured and how they might be undone. Identities come into play in his work, as embodied effects of violence perpetrated or unfreedom suffered but also as possible openings, new beginnings.[1][2]

His works are in the collections of Stedeljik Museum (Amsterdam);[3] Kadist Art Foundation (Paris, San Francisco);[4]  MuHKA (Antwerp);[5] Tate Modern (London);[6] Hamburger Kunsthalle (Hamburg);[7] Louis Vuitton Foundation (Paris) as well as in many private collections around the world.

He is represented by Emalin, London, UK[1] and Galerie Zink, Waldkirchen, Germany.[8]
