Alfredo Jaar

Alfredo Jaar is a architect and film maker and his work has been shown extensively around the globe. Jaar is now NY based but was born in Santiago de Chile 1956.

I was I'll during this weekend so I'm not sure the lecture took place, also I assume you meant Alfredo Jaar and not Alfred Jaar as it said in the e-mail.
What I can see on Alfredo Jaar is if his lecture was confirmed I really missed something. On his website there are mostly photos and some short films, also a lot of poetic content, kind of melancholic. I am really interested in his "this is not America" in the project "lights in the city" which is shown on a large LED sign. This project has references to geography and global relations.


Jaar's Rwanda project is very strong, you should go into his website and have a look, the texts on the site is protected so I couldn't attach it to this blog
