STANFORD HUMANITIES CENTER EVENTS
Salon with Milica Tomic: Art and Right to Public Space
Wednesday March 09, 2011 | 04:00 -06:00 PM |
Humanities Center-SiCa Arts Writer/Practitioner in Residence
In her installation “Container – (re)construction of the crime,” Milica Tomić followed a reportage from the early days of the Afghan war, in which the members of the Northern Alliance captured a thousand Taliban soldiers and locked them in freight containers. When the captives from one of the containers asked for air, the soldiers fired automatic weapons into the container, killing most of those locked inside. Tomić’s installation is a reconstruction (through dislocation) of conditions under which this particular crime was perpetuated.
