Julie Mehretu: They departed for their own country another way (a 9x9x9 hauntology)
Directing a focus towards enduring conflict, widespread displacement and the asymmetry of power, Mehretu takes as her subject images sourced from current affairs media, in particular the ongoing war in Ukraine and the events of the US Capitol insurrection of 6 January 2021.
Julie Mehretu’s solo exhibition at White Cube Bermondsey, ‘They departed for their own country another way (a 9x9x9 hauntology)’, debuts three new series of paintings consisting of nine works each. Presented alongside these works, in the 9x9x9 gallery Mehretu has paired her title track painting with a sculpture by visual artist Nairy Baghramian, in response to an ongoing dialogue between the two artists.
