Beskrivelse af Born in the Woods
The Political Substance of Wood. Jems Koko Bi (b. Sinfra, Côte d'Ivoire, 1966; lives and works in Kaarst, Germany, Dakar, and Abidjan) is world-renowned for the monumental wood sculptures he creates using a machine saw. This book juxtaposes his most recent body of works with the large-format woodcuts of HAP Grieshaber (b. Rot an der Rot, Germany, 1909; d. Eningen unter Achalm, 1981). Although the two artists never met, their oeuvres are characterized by similar themes, values, and materials. The central concern is the fate of the forests and its momentous political and social implications: Grieshaber's woodcuts articulate his principled opposition to the predatory exploitation of nature in the 1970s--an issue that is more relevant than ever today in light of the climate crisis and the Fridays for Future movement. Koko Bi's figural groups bring this tradition of political art into our time, making a global and universally compelling case for a sustainable husbandry of our resources. Jems Koko Bi studied at the Institut National Supérieur des Arts et de l'Action Culturelle (INSAAC), Abidjan, and the Düsseldorf Academy of Fine Arts.
