Yael Bartana 1970
Woont in Berlin, Amsterdam. Werkt in Berlin, Amsterdam.
Vertegenwoordigd door:
Annet Gelink Gallery
Yael Bartana is een videokunstenaar die de beelden van culturele identiteit verkent. In haar fotoseries, films en installaties houdt Bartana de identiteitsstrijd van haar vaderland Israël tegen het licht. Haar vroege werk documenteert collectieve rituelen met vervreemdende effecten zoals slow motion en geluid. In haar recente werk ensceneert ze situaties en introduceert ze fictieve momenten in echte, bestaande verhalen.

The best art of the 21st century
#9 (van 25) Yael Bartana
"and Europe will be Stunned"(2007-11)
Uitgaande van een oproep voor meer dan drie miljoen Joden om terug te keren naar Polen, het land van hun voorvaderen, om het land te redden van alleen voor "Poolse Polen in Polen", speelt Yael Bartana's filmtrilogie met nationalistisch sentiment, EU en ouderwetse communistische partijretoriek, zionistische dromen, de holocaust en het Palestijnse recht om terug te keren. Met escalerende ironie, shock en pittige humor neemt Bartana de wereld over.
The Guardian
Yael Bartana
In her second solo exhibition at Petzel Gallery, Israeli Yael Bartana explores two types of identity – national and religious. The show consists of two irrelevant photographic works, one neon light installation that reads ‘Black Stars Shed No Light’ and two films, Inferno (2013) and True Finn (2014). These last two are the only works that warrant any attention. Unfortunately, the questions they raise are ones that anyone with a halfway decent education has probably already considered, rendering them more entertaining than critical.
In True Finn, which is the former name of Finland’s ethnic nationalist Finns Party, eight citizens gather for a week in a remote cabin to discuss the question, ‘Who is a true Finn?’ To the viewer, it looks less like an actual summit and more like a Christopher Guest mockumentary. Footage of the subjects – who include Mustafe, a Muslim man born in Somalia, Tiina, a Roma woman wearing Gypsy garb, and Komugi, a deadpan Japanese woman – is sutured together with grainy imagery of reindeer and people sitting in saunas, pitting the ‘new’ Finland against the old. Intelligent discussions of national identity are undercut by ridiculous workshops that include creating a new Finnish flag, jumping together on an imaginary trampoline and electing a ‘True Finn’ from the group – an honour that subverts the former name of the country’s ethnic nationalist party. That title goes to the dark-skinned Mustafe, because the group generally agrees that he is a good friend and makes good conversation. In other words, modern Finnish identity is based not on appearance or shared history, but on good vibes.
Religious identity is explored in Inferno, a 22-minute video that follows a joyous bunch of gorgeous young Brazilians, all clad in white gauze outfits and Carmen Miranda headresses, who make a pilgrimage to the Temple of Solomon in São Paulo. In the temple, they encounter an evil drag queen with kohl-rimmed eyes – a high priest in this scenario. They all make the Roc-A-Fella diamond sign in front of a gilded replica of the Ark of the Covenant, and then the floor opens up beneath them, dragging some worshippers into the depths of Hades. Those left alive stagger bloodied out into the city. In some future time, the scene of this tragedy is transformed into a holy site à la the Wailing Wall, drawing parallels with Jerusalem. Bartana calls it a ‘historical pre-enactment’.
Light Internet research reveals that the Brazilian Temple of Solomon is not a fiction but an actual site that houses the congregation of the Universal Church of the Kingdom of God (UCKG), an evangelical church founded in Rio de Janeiro in the 1970s. In recent years, the UCKG has been mired in accusations of money laundering (its founder, Edir Macedo, is estimated to be worth over $1 billion, allegedly from tithes collected from desperately poor members). In creating a mockup of the temple for her set, Bartana superimposes the pageantry of an ancient religion on the site of a modern one and so draws a comparison between Judaism and the UCKG. Really? The transference of symbolism from one belief system to another is older than the alphabet and in this context says nothing about the people who follow them. Inferno is a pretty film for sure, but it has about as much depth as a national anthem.
Art Review
Yael Bartana: And Europe Will Be Stunned
Petzel Gallery
456 West 18th Street, Chelsea
Through May 4
At the Venice Biennale two years ago, the Israeli artist Yael Bartana represented Poland with “And Europe Will Be Stunned,” an installation that was such a hit that it was quite difficult to get to see. It was then exhibited on four continents, and now forms Ms. Bartana’s New York gallery debut. Consisting primarily of a video trilogy, it is at once somber, provocative and superbly well done, with a strangely perfect, perfectly disturbing, yet ineffably wry confusion of ideology, geography, propaganda and history. The narrative that unfolds among the three videos concerns a kind of reverse Zionism, the Jewish Renaissance Movement in Poland, initially a fictive campaign to rebuild the Jewish population of Poland that Ms. Bartana is apparently turning into a reality.
In “Mary Koszmary (Nightmares),” a youthful leader stands before a microphone in the abandoned National Stadium in Warsaw exhorting an invisible audience to return, build new settlements and plant trees. Upon finishing, he is greeted by a small delegation of children and teenagers, wearing red neckerchiefs, who could be Israeli, German or Soviet.
In “Mur I weiza (Wall and Tower),” a horde of wholesome-looking young men and women, redolent of 1930s propaganda films, build a ’30s-style kibbutz in a once Jewish neighborhood in Warsaw, complete with watchtower and barbed wire that also conjure concentration camps. From the tower they unfurl a red flag whose motif resembles the German eagle.
“Zamach (Assassination)” occurs after the assassination of the young leader in the first video: an enormous bust of him worthy of Lenin is dedicated in a city square as hundreds of demonstrators and helmeted police look on.
The entire effect is exceedingly complex, with just the right mixture of staginess, uplifting music and 21st-century details to keep the artifice before us while delving into numerous issues including the failed utopia of Israel, the unresolved trauma of World War II, the danger of nationalism and, above all, the importance of diversity. With words as resonant now as ever, the young leader says, “With one religion, we cannot listen.”
