Somerset House, London, 5–8 October 2017   1:54 Contemporary African Art Fair returns for its fifth edition at Somerset House in London, 5–8 October 2017. Halida Boughriet, BORDER #2, 2017, C-print, Edition of 7, 80 x 120 cm. Courtesy the artist and Officine dell’Immagine   Halida Boughriet uses a broad range of media to address notions of performance in her practice. Working at a cross section of aesthetic, political and social concerns, Boughriet strives to capture current tensions in human relationships and society. This includes some given historical and social context, and the emotions conveyed in individual and collective memory. Boughriet’s works have been exhibited in a number of international museums, such as Inventory: New Works and Conversations Around African Art, Hood Museum of Art, Hanover (2016); New cinema and Contemporary Art, Haus der Kulturen der Welt, Berlin (2015); Vidéo et Après, Centre Pompidou, Paris (2014); Avec et sans Peinture, Musée d’Art contemporain du Val-de-Marne, Vitry-sur-Seine (2014); Le Corps découvert, Institut du Monde Arabe, Paris (2012) and Human Frames, Kunst im Tunnel, Dusseldorf (2011). In 2015 her work was featured at the Rencontres Internationales, held in venues across Paris, Berlin and Madrid   http://1-54.com/london/exhibitors/officine-dellimmagine/ http://1-54.com/london/artists/boughriet-halida/

http://www.documenta14.de/en/public-radio/14723/the-border-of-the-shadow Every Time A Ear di Soun, a documenta 14 Radio Program, on air from April 8 to September 17, 2017 The Border of the Shadow by Halida Boughriet The sound piece is built around a time lapse (exile, immigration, generations, attachments, uninhabited territory) and put into perspective in relation to the present phenomenon known as “migrants.” Given the prevailing widespread misconceptions and negative stereotypes about migrants, Halida Boughriet attempts to reveal their status as individuals through their voices and their bodies. The notion of performance is also related to the use of random sounds, the alteration of musical instruments, interdisciplinary interweavings, speech harvesting, historical records, collage, and the heterogeneous juxtaposition of atmospheres and registers. This poetry of voices is not only a matter of declamation, but it also crafts language from a perspective of frame fragmentation, the questioning of structural logics, and vocal commitment by means of its historical, memorial, and physical nature.
