Flying Machine

Beskrivelse af samlerobjektet

Melancholy of birds B, by Ali Cherri, is based on an assembly of animals and plants forming a coherent whole and constitutes a reimagining of the imagery of 19th century herbariums. The practice of collage, grafting, and hybridization for which the artist is known is the result of a restrained reading of our world, wavering between science and poetry. Of the three lithographs, the central section depicts a bird on a background of flowers. It disappears into a wash of blue and viewers will only be able to make out its contours through very close observation.

Ali Cherri: Documenting Lebanon Through Sculpture and Film

Ali Cherri is a Lebanese artist whose distinctive approach to contemporary art centers on meticulously documenting and presenting the cultural heritage and environment of Lebanon and broader Middle Eastern landscapes. His work transcends mere observation; it strives to capture essence, memory, and transformation—themes that resonate powerfully across his diverse mediums, primarily video installation and sculptural sculpture. Cherri’s artistic journey began in Beirut, where he honed his skills amidst a vibrant creative milieu shaped by the complexities of Lebanese history and identity. Early influences included explorations of architectural spaces and urban narratives, reflecting a fascination with how places embody stories of past and present. This initial focus laid the groundwork for his subsequent investigations into larger concepts – particularly the preservation of cultural heritage against forces of globalization and conflict. His sculptural practice is characterized by ambitious scale and symbolic resonance. The “Flying Machine,” a monumental dragonfly sculpture created in 2017, exemplifies Cherri’s commitment to conveying profound ideas through striking visual forms. Constructed from wood—a material deeply rooted in Lebanese tradition—the dragonfly represents metamorphosis, flight, and the delicate balance between stability and dynamism. It's not simply an aesthetically pleasing object; it functions as a tangible embodiment of Cherri’s artistic philosophy: confronting challenges head-on while acknowledging the importance of adapting to change. Cherri’s filmmaking endeavors further amplify his exploration of cultural narratives. He utilizes video installations to delve into sites of historical significance, such as ʻIolani Palace—the only official royal residence in the United States—where he meticulously captures the grandeur of Hawaiian monarchy history and the transformative impact of King Kalākaua & Queen Liliʻuokalani’s reign. These projects aren't merely recordings; they are carefully crafted dialogues between art and place, inviting viewers to contemplate legacies of power, resilience, and cultural evolution. His work has garnered recognition on international stages, including exhibitions at Guggenheim Museum in New York City and the Venice Biennale—a testament to his ability to articulate urgent concerns about environmental stewardship and cultural preservation through innovative artistic mediums. Cherri’s contribution to contemporary art lies in his unwavering dedication to confronting complex issues with sensitivity and imagination, ensuring that Lebanon's stories continue to inspire future generations.
