BASEL.- Kunsthalle Basel presents today Goshka Macuga  I Am Become Death, on view through March 8, 2009. Goshka Macuga (b. This line from the epos (Now I am become death, the destroyer of worlds.) was quoted by J. Robert Oppenheimer, director of the Manhattan Project during World War II, on seeing the scale of destruction after the Trinity nuclear test at White Sands Missile Range near Alamogordo in New Mexico, on July 16, 1945. In her new group of works, Goshka Macuga also reflects on the history of exhibition display. For the exhibition at Kunsthalle Basel, Goshka Macuga transposes Herbert Bayers display concept for Road to Victory, presenting a series of collages made of images coming from several different sources, including Aby Warburgs photographs taken during his exploration of Hopi culture in 1896, Macugas own photographs from her journey in the USA in 2008, as well as installation shots from the American artist Robert Morris show at the Tate Gallery in London in 1971. Private photographs from a Vietnam War veterans collection are also included, which, in contrast to Road to Victorys well-defined ideological content, deal with daily, un-heroic, funny or just boring aspects of a soldiers life at a military base in Vietnam.
