Doris Salcedo, born in 1958 in Bogota, Colombia, is a leading member of a new generation of artists who have achieved international acclaim during the past eight years, partly as a result of their choosing to live and work in their countries of birth. This installation by Doris Salcedo was part of the 8th International Istanbul Biennial. Eighty Artists from 40 countries participated in the 8th Biennial under the conceptual frame “Poetic Justice.” The sculpture shown here is a site-specific installation (untitled), filling the gap between a row of buildings with a staggering 1,600 wooden chairs.
