Fatimah Tuggar
Money & Matter

2005

About the Item

Fatimah Tuggar was born in Kaduna, Nigeria in 1967. She studied in London before receiving a BFA from Kansas City Art Institute and completed her MFA at Yale University. Tugger works a variety of media to sensitize viewers to the gulf between African and Western experience. In large computer-processed photomontages, she mixes disconnected images from Africa and the West to surrealistic and provocative effect. "Money & Matter" is made up of a series of nine images that examine the relationship of human beings to capital, on a personal level and from a social perspective. Each image is subtitled to address the narrative therein. This series employs entertainment technologies as a vehicle for commentary on various and conflicting histories, journeys and materials in our experiences. The symbols and expressions of money exist in relation to matter as both subject and object of what we desire and fear. The tension between the money's power gaming and elements of distraction and the substance of what matters in people's lives are at the core of this series. Tugger's work has appeared in group exhibitions at the Museum of Modern Art and the New Museum of Contemporary Art (both in New York), as well as at other museums, and at international biennial exhibitions including Moscow Biennale of Contemporary Art (2005), Palais des Beaux-Arts, Brussels (2003), Centre Georges Pompidou (2005), Paris and the Bamako Biennal, Mali, 2003.

  • Untitled (Red)
    By Matthew Brannon
    Located in New York, NY
    Matthew Brannon is best known for his letterpress and screen prints of incongruous combinations of images and text. These prints are rendered in a subtle, stripped-down aesthetic, evoking mass production and marketing design. For a 2006 series of blue and black silkscreen prints, Brannon paired representations of potted plants with grim subtitles such as Sick Whore and How It All Ends, in keeping with his thematic interest in pathology and personal struggle. Brannon’s sculptures exhibit a similar pictorial simplicity, often executed in few colors and with meticulous attention to symmetry and balance. Like a stage set for the performance of a play set...
