Tracey Rose, Lucie’s Fur Version 1:1:1 – The Messenger, 2003

In Elephant’s latest issue, we focus in on a number of new and forthcoming exhibitions that take our current climate of uncertainty as their guiding impulse. Featured is the soon-to-open Tracey Rose retrospective at Zeitz MOCAA in Cape Town, which will include everything from film and sculpture to photography, performance, and painting by the revolutionary South African artist. Titled Shooting Down Babylon (after Rose’s 2016 installation of the same name, which reflected upon exorcist and cleansing rituals from non-Western communities), the show will trace “Rose’s trajectory from earlier interests in interrogating and exploding narrow identity tropes” to her recent investigation of “processes of healing and rituality”.
