A Shoulder on Which to Bear Time
A conversation between Biraaj Dodiya and Elena Sorokina on Manolo Millares
Thursday 30 July, 2020
In collaboration with Experimenter Gallery, Kolkata India
Dodiya and Sorokina build interconnections between Manolo Millares’ work and its ‘duende’, inviting it into their exchanges. They discuss what it means to speak about Millares (1926–1972) today, specifically during these times. How can we look at the work of this major 20th century artist through the eyes of an artist from a younger generation and a curator both of whom necessarily approach Millares’ practice from different geographies, different generations, and yet share his urgent concerns today: themes of loss and memory, mortality and repair, the deep uncertainties of life, and how mourning and care have the power to heal after crisis and violence.
