Rasheed Araeen in conversation

27 Jul 2023 6.30-6.30pm

Overview

Explore the trajectory of Zero to Infinity with artist Rasheed Araeen

Join us for a conversation with Rasheed Araeen and Dr Sadia Shirazi (Curator, International Art, Tate Modern). The discussion will follow the transnational journey of Rasheed Araeen’s interactive sculpture, Zero to Infinity which will be brought to the Turbine Hall this summer, in the largest iteration of this work to date.

Zero to Infinity has now had over thirteen iterations. Made of four hundred latticed cubes painted red, green, yellow and blue. The cubes are set in a static grid formation and are then touched, stacked and reassembled by visitors daily, in what the artist has described as the work coming ‘alive.’

From Karachi in the 1960s to present day London, this conversation will trace the work’s journey over the past four decades and across two continents, exploring both its entangled intellectual trajectory and the racial-geographic exclusions of Euro-American postwar histories of art.

The event will be filmed and livestreamed.
