Kameelah Janan Rasheed (born 1985, East Palo Alto, CA, USA) is the 2022 recipient of the Schering Stiftung Award for Artistic Research.
In their work, Rasheed focuses on the materiality and legibility of text, writing and language as well as the potential of intermedial translation. They search for methods that allow us to grasp meanings anew and explore the question of how we read and how we ourselves want to be read and understood. To this end, Rasheed deconstructs and reconstructs the meaning of literary and scientific texts by experimenting, for example, with factors such as syntax and punctuation, but also with the connotation and size of individual words. By constantly reworking text, they bridge the gap between politics and poetry in order to explore inherent complexities and shifts in meaning in language and reveal its scope of possibility.
The presentation of Rasheed’s artistic work at KW Institute for Contemporary Art is their first major institutional solo exhibition in Berlin. Both the exhibition and its accompanying publication interlace with Rasheed’s methodology, which explores indexical space, revision through annotation, as well as its blurring and layering of knowledge and learning.
The Award for Artistic Research has grown out of the Schering Stiftung Art Award, which was awarded biannually to international artists between 2005 and 2018. In 2019, the award was redesigned together with the Berlin Senate Department for Culture and Community. The 2022 edition of the Award for Artistic Research is the seventh time that Schering Stiftung has collaborated with KW Institute for Contemporary Art.
The exhibition will be curated by Sofie Krogh Christensen.
