'Salon Urbain de Douala': 2010 Triennial of Public Art

Tracey Rose at 2010 Triennial of Public Art, Douala

Douala is the Cameroonian megalopolis. Because of its location inside the Gulf of Guinea and also inside the mangrove swamp at the bottom of the estuary of the Wouri’s River, the city has a singular relationship with water. In the 2010 'Salon Urbain de Douala', the general curator, Simon Njami, and his associate curators, Koyo Kouoh, Elvira Dyangani and Didier Schaub, selected 18 artists whose 16 projects will animate the artistic and urban scene of the economic capital of Cameroon, offering multiple sensitivities on the theme of 'water and the city'. Artists include Kader Attia, Bili Bidjocka, Pascale Marthine Tayou and Tracey Rose, who undertook a residency at Doual'Art in 2009.
