Allora e Calzadilla

Cadastre

September 13 — November 2, 2019

New York: 21st Street

Gladstone Gallery is pleased to announce Cadastre, an exhibition of new works by Allora & Calzadilla and the duo's third exhibition with the Gallery. The exhibition revisits the Surrealist encounter with the anti-colonial movement in the Caribbean to consider present forms of coloniality and its relation to climate justice. The artists have taken inspiration from the radical and transformative collection of poems by Martinican poet and politician Aimé Césaire under the same name. The term “cadastre” refers to the means by which the territorial limits of private property are publicly registered. Taking cue from the powerful mechanics of Césaire’s writing, Allora & Calzadilla’s exhibition Cadastre brings together three works all informed by a poetics of mark making, traces, and survival.
