Abolition 07
Godfried Donkor: Financial Times
Hackney Museum, London, 13 March 14
July 2007
Artist Godfried Donkor has created new work in response to Abolition 07,
the bicentenary of the abolition of Britains transatlantic slave
trade. The work was commissioned by Hackney
Museum and supported by
SPACE throughout Donkors five-week residency.
For Donkor this
is not a body of work that is rooted only in the horrors of slavery. He shows
us the complexities of the modern world and looks at the impact that the slave
trade had on the general wealth and development of this country. Installed at
the heart of Abolition 07, Financial Times uses the FT index as the ground
for Donkors painted imagery, the shipping trade of
the 18th Century becomes a metaphor for the interaction of nations and the current
cultural politics of globalisation.
As part of the residency at SPACE Donkor engaged Year 12 students from Cardinal Pole School
and Skinners Company Upper Girls School in a joint exploration of 15th to 18th
century portraiture. The resulting self portraits will also be exhibited as
part of Abolition 07.
Donkor studied at Central St Martins College
of Art and Design in London. He undertook graduate study in Barcelona in 1991-92 with
support from UNESCO. Donkor then attended the School of Oriental
and African Studies, London
University, receiving a
Masters in African art history in 1995. He lives and works in London. Donkor has
exhibited internationally including: Authentic/ Eccentric Venice Biennale
2001, Pin Up Tate Modern 2003/4, Around the World in 80 days ICA 2006.
