Ghita Skali (born 1992 in Casablanca, Morocco) is an artist working and living in Amsterdam. Her works have been exhibited internationally at Palais de Tokyo, Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam, Kulte Gallery, Beirut Art Fair, Lyon Biennale, Het Nieuwe Instituut, Castlefield Gallery and West in The Hague.[1]
Education
[edit]Skali studied in France, first at Villa Arson in Nice and then in the post-graduate program of the École nationale supérieure des beaux-arts de Lyon. She then participated in a program at De Ateliers.[2]
Oeuvre
[edit]Ghita Skali's oeuvre includes diverse video works which often try to see the humor in political and societal issues. Central to Skali's work are ironic inversion and myth-making, denouncing racism and sexism.[3][4]
In September 2020, Skali provided a display at De Ateliers by cutting a hole in the wooden floor of the director's room, after which the so-called 'authority wood' was taken to Morocco to donate to people who had lost their habitat. The wood did not return to Amsterdam, in response to the flow of African art objects to Europe. She made the film The Hole's Journey about the journey of the wooden planks, which was screened at the International Film Festival Rotterdam in 2021 and acquired by the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam.[3][5]
Commissioned by the Stedelijk Museum in 2021, Skali made the short film The Invaders, a remake of a 1990s French parody of the television series The Invaders.[4]
Distribution
[edit]Ghita Skali's work is distributed by LI-MA, platform for Living Media Art. Skali's work can be found on Mediakunst.net where museums or other cultural institutions can rent her work.[6]
