Isaac Julien: What Freedom Is To Me in the Brooklyn Rail

William Corwin at the Brooklyn Rail writes on Isaac Julien: What Freedom Is To Me "it is a lyrical experience to lose oneself in Julien’s vision, and to exist outside of time."  Corwin continues: "once in the belly of the show, the possible choices took on an Alice-in-Wonderland surrealism. One could simply perambulate from path to path (with different carpet colors) watching the movies in this space, devoid of any sense of time. In between the passageways are Julien’s large prints, stills, and vignettes from the films, as well as display cases of ephemera—props, costumes, and the like—from Julien’s various productions. The intention of the artist, curators, and designer seems to be that the viewer become completely immersed within Julien’s filmic expression.

Isaac Julien: What Freedom Is To Me is on at Tate Britain until August 20
