What to see at Artes Mundi 3

At Artes Mundi 3, each artist tells a different story, heightening our senses and prompting us to question how we see ourselves. Works featured include:

Come give us a speech (2007/8), a new large 6-panelled painting, specially created for Artes Mundi 3 by Indian artist N.S. Harsha. Harsha paints in the Indian miniature tradition but on a very large scale. His works are full of wit and playfulness but the closer you look, the more disoriented you become at what he presents.

A major film installation by Susan Norrie from Australia, first seen at the 52 nd Venice Biennale in 2007. Called Havoc (2007) it observes the devastation an unstoppable flow of boiling mud caused to a community in East Java, leaving thousands homeless.

More than Us (2007), a film installation by Scottish artists Dalziel + Scullion that explores the landscape from a perspective other than human, in this case, the slender Scotch burnet moth. It is a story of warning, warmth and colour.

Brick Sellers of Kabul (2006), a film depicting a line of boys waiting to redeem bricks collected from the rubble of ruined buildings destroyed by the Taliban. The work, by Afghan artist Lida Abdul, speaks of violence and devastation but also survival and rebuilding.

The exhibition also includes new works by Vasco Araújo and Abdoulaye Konaté and works by Mircea Cantor and Rosângela Rennó
