To Say That I Am Making Art is Rather Funny
Additional Information
Kambalu’s limited editions for Tate are part of an ongoing series inspired by his childhood memory of collecting bubble gum cards of the flags of the world. In the past 20 years he has travelled all over the world, developing his work in different cities and collecting national flags on his phone as he goes. With an interest in the things that connect us rather than divide us, these flags are shuffled, manipulated and reimagined using smartphone technology. The resulting abstract patterns and vibrant colours recall the tribal markings of Kuba textiles. Giving visual form to the transitional politics of nation states, Kambalu’s flags question the limits of national identity.
Each print is signed and numbered by the artist and comes unframed. Prices of the artwork are liable to change. As a limited edition sells out, prices of the artwork are subject to increase and the price will be clearly indicated.
