ARTnews: Letter from Cape Town
Alfredo Jaar, the Chilean-born information artist and New Yorker who in March won the 2020 Hasselblad Award (the world’s most prestigious photography prize), has a strict morning ritual. During a recent visit to Cape Town, where he presented a lecture as a prelude to a show at the Zeitz Museum of Contemporary Art Africa, Jaar explained how, after breakfast, he spends two hours reading dozens of periodicals to which he subscribes: a mix of established newspapers (among them Le Monde, El País, and the Guardian) and obscure publications” from places like Brazil, India, and Italy. He credits his socialist father with cultivating his reading habit and teaching him how to process news as information to be parsed and interpreted.
