Of What one Cannot Speak: Doris Salcedo's Political Art by Mieke Bal In "Of What One Cannot Speak," Mieke Bal leads us into intimate encounters with Doris Salcedo's art, encouraging us to consider each work as a "theoretical object" that invites--and demands--certain kinds of considerations about history, death, erasure, and grief. Bal ranges widely through Salcedo's work, from Salcedo's Atrabiliarios series--in which the artist uses worn shoes to retrace los desaparecidos ("the disappeared") from nations like Argentina, Chile, and Colombia--to Shibboleth, Salcedo's once-in-a-lifetime commission by the Tate Modern, for which she created a rupture, as if by earthquake, that stretched the length of the museum hall's concrete floor.

Doris Salcedo by Andreas Huyssen; Nancy Princenthal; Carlos Basualdo American art critic Nancy Princenthal surveys Doris Salcedo's work in terms of the universal themes it evokes, contextualized in discussion of contemporary sculptural practice. New York-based poet and curator Carlos Basualdo discusses with the artist her formative influences, which range from the art of predecessors such as Joseph Beuys to the writings of philosophers and poets. German literary critic Andreas Huyssen focuses on Salcedo's sculpture Unland: The Orphan's Tunic (1997). For Artist's Choice, Salcedo has selected two texts: an extract from Otherwise Than Being (1974) by philosopher Emmanuel Levinas, and poems by Paul Celan. Doris Salcedo's observations on the human condition and its reflection in the work of poets, novelists, and thinkers are discussed in conversation with art historian Charles Merewether.
