Description - Vivienne Koorland by William Kentridge

The word 'reisemalheurs' is taken from a letter written by Sigmund Freud to his family while on holiday in Blackpool in 1908. It invokes the mishaps and misfortunes of travel, in this case tourism, but suggests the wider travails and stresses of journeys, both forced and voluntary. The work of the South African, New York based artist, Vivienne Koorland, evokes the pain and dislocation of migration and exile, and the dreams and fantasies of that mythical place we call 'home'. This catalogue includes an interview by Mark Godfrey with the artist, articles by Adrian Rifkin and William Kentridge and an essay by the curator, Tamar Garb.
