(c)Isaac-Julien_Green Screen Goddess, Triptych (Ten Thousand Waves), 2010
Ten Thousand Waves is an exhibition by the internationally acclaimed British artist Isaac Julien (b. 1960) that will feature in Galerie Forsblom’s main exhibition space and studio throughout the summer season. The installation is based on the Morecambe Bay tragedy of 2004, in which more than 20 Chinese cockle pickers drowned on a flooded sandbank off the coast of northwest England. The exhibition depicts unfinished journeys and the migration of individuals and masses across countries and continents. Julien also references legends from the Fujian Province, from where the Morecambe Bay workers originated. The footage was shot in old and new Shanghai, where Julien spent an extended period studying the local culture and history.
