In our third Excavation, 加布里埃尔Giattino returns for a conversation with 艾莉Ga, an artist that she represents and whose video series, 环流, was produced for the 2019 Whitney Biennial, a work that Holland Cotter writing in the 纽约时报 described as “a truly extraordinary video triptych, [that] weaves together archaeology, oceanography and social justice by recording the recovery of ancient remains from the Aegean, the tidal drift of Japanese tsunami debris to the Greek islands 和 arrival of asylum seekers and refugees to those same islands.” Click here to read the article. View the conversation with Ga and Giattino below.
Ga was scheduled to screen the work here at Bryn Mawr in April 2020 for its Philadelphia premier. Despite the cancellation we are exploring ways in which to engage with Ga in the year to come! In anticipation, we present her video 赛义德.

Throughout a wide range of artistic interventions that include research-based multimedia lecture-performances, 视频, works on paper and a slideshow, Ga explores the limits of our ability to know the past—whether it persists in submerged ruins, remnants of texts or fragments of memories.
