AfricAvenir is a media partner of this event.nUnder false pretences, the local chief of Elmina wants to convince the resident farmers to sell their land to some Chinese oil investors. One of the farmers, Ato Blankson (Doug Fishbone), suborns the others to offer resistance – and finds himself getting entangled in even several intrigues. Fishbone not only acts, but is also the initiator of this “action melodrama”, that boasts an array of Ghanaian film stars. He turns his leading part into an artistic intervention that is worth a debate. Doug Fishbone, born in the USA in 1 969, is a video, performance, and installation artist. He earned a Masters Degree in Fine Arts from Goldsmiths College, London. Since 1 998 he has realised solo projects and exhibitions in
Ecuador, New York, London, and Copenhagen among others, as well as numerous group exhibitions. In 2004 he made an installation using 30000 bananas on Trafalgar square. He performs satirical monologues, along with which he shows videos and images taken from the internet. His works have been shown, inter alia, in ZKM Karlsruhe, Tate Britain, Kunsthaus Graz, Rokeby Gallery, Busan Biennale South Korea, and Hayward Gallery London. Doug Fishbone lives and works in London. nARTension: Straight forward with… Doug Fishbone
