tala med mig
tala med mig (2018)
ceramic painting on tiles
45 x 30 cm
made in collaboration with Sami Badawi Art and Traditional Pottery Studio in Old Cairo, and Moa Edlund
tala med mig is a ceramic painting on tiles and part of a series of experimental translations. In a poetic play with a language she doesn't master, Hanna Wildow has generated logical as well as irrational connections, hence creating linguistic patterns. In tala med mig, a phrases has been located in both the Arabic and Swedish language. Together with the artist Sami Badawi a ceramic tile painting has been created with inspiration from Nubian, Islamic and folklore arts, where a special color paste gives the text a tactile texture. Attempting to open up language to the point where it becomes available to touch, the legible is weaved together with the illegible; sensuously performing gestural and crafting aspects of writing from the chaos of scribble.
tala med mig is part of Hanna Wildow's artistic research project gränsen / el houdoud, organized with the support by Konstnärsnämnden during 2017 - 2018. The work have been exhibited at Cimatheque, Cairo (2018) and Konstfrämjandet Bergslagen, 2018. Since 2019 it is part of Örebro Municipal Public Art Collection.
