Curated by Stefano Harney with artists Ranjit Kandalgaonkar, Arjuna Neuman, Wu Tsang and philosopher Denise Ferreira Da Silva

A history of shipping cannot be separated from a history of the shipped. Nor can a history of logistics be separated from a history of shipping.  To ship off, to be containerised, to be shipwrecked and drowned, to repair and to wreck the ship, all this is to enter the real history of shipping.  This exhibit brings together artists to create this history, a transported history.  One enters the exhibit through the ship breaking yards of Ranjit Kandalgaonkar’s sound sculpture of Alang in Gujarat.  Then one can turn into Arjuna Neuman’s film with Denise Ferreira Da Silva or turn the other way into Wu Tsang’s film with Fred Moten.  Here we are in the watery realm of the shipped, but also in the airy flight of the transported above the tide.  Finally one can exit through the study, where photographs and drawings from Kandalgaonkar surround texts by Stefano Harney and Fred Moten on shipping and the shipped.
