The Guggenheim Museum announced that artist, Emily Jacir has won the 2008 Hugo Boss Prize. “Emily Jacir’s rigorous conceptual practice—comprising photography, video, performance, and installation-based work—bears witness to a culture torn by war and displacement. As a member of the Palestinian diaspora, she comments on issues of mobility (or the lack thereof), border crises, and historical amnesia through projectsthat unearth individual narratives and collective experiences. Jacir combines the roles of archivist, activist, and poet to create poignant and memorable works of art that are at once intensely personal and d eeply political. It is the refined sophistication of Jacir’s art and the relevance of her concerns—both global and local—in a time of war, transnationalism, and mass migration that led us to award her the 2008 Hugo Boss Prize.” For more information about Emily Jacir Ann Hamilton received the Heinz Award in the Arts and Humanities for a body of work that has established her as one of contemporary art's most influential voices.
