Photomontage. Multi Media.
Copyright MRust 2012.
This exhibition, covering the period from 1910 to today, offers a critical reassessment of photography's role in the avant-garde and neo-avant-garde movements—with a special emphasis on the medium's relation to Dada, Bauhaus, Surrealism, Constructivism, New Objectivity, Conceptual, and Post-Conceptual art—and in the development of contemporary artistic practices.

INSPIRATION: FULANI, PEUL, WOODABEE TRIBE.
The Fulani people call themselves Fulbe (Peul in French).They were
originally nomadic herders, traders and farming people living throughout
West Africa. Today the majority of fulani people live urban centers.
Experts believe that they originated from a region that occupied the
present day Northern Senegal. Over the centuries, they migrated with
their cattle to occupy vast areas in the Sahel and Savannah regions of
West Africa and evolved into many subgroups with a variety of
designations including Fulbe, Jelgove, Gurma, Gorgave, Fellata, Fula,
Fulakunda, Bororos, Wodaabe, Peul, Pulaar, Halpulaar, Liptaako,
Toucouleur, and Tukolor. Presently, they live in communities throughout
much of the West-Africa, from Senegal to Cameroon and as far east as
Sudan and Ethiopia.The fulani range covers an area larger than
continental United States and western Europe.

Ritual Tankard with Male Ancestor Figure on HandleCentral Nias Island, SumatraWood19th centuryThis beautiful wooden tankard is a rare example of a ritual vessel used by the nobles of Nias for the ritual measurement of rice during religious ceremonies connected with harvest and ancestor worship. A figure of a seated male ancestor (adu zatua) wearing a gold crown and moustache cover is seen on the handle. The ‘Cubist’ treatment of the figure is typical of the art of Central Nias. Other examples of such tankards can be seen on page 309 of Nias, Tribal Treasures (1990) the catalog for an exhibition of Nias art and the Volkenkundig Museum Nusantara, Delft, Holland.Measurements: 16 cm high.
