Catalogue accompanying the exhibition ‘Doris Salcedo’ at Fondation Beyeler, Basel (May 21 – Sep.17 2023), offering a comprehensive survey over her work from 1986 to 2022. The Colombian artist Doris Salcedo (*1958, Bogotá) is internationally renowned for her sculptures, site-specific installations and public interventions that address the traumas of violence, racism and other forms of marginalization. Although her sculptures and installations are often based on concrete events, feelings of grief, alienation and loss of home take on a universally valid, heartfelt expression in her works. Different materials such as stone and concrete, wooden furniture, grass, petals, hair or pieces of clothing are transformed and charged with meaning. In 2003, on the occasion of the Istanbul Biennial, she stacked 1,550 chairs between two buildings; in 2007, she drove a 167-meter-long crack into the Turbine Hall of the Tate Modern for her work Shibboleth. Her most recent work Uprooted (2020 – 22) has been presented at the Sharjah Biennial.
