    Work

    Jaar art is usually politically motivated, with strategies of representation of real events, the faces of war or the globalized world, and sometimes with a certain level of viewer participation (in the case of many public interventions and performances).

    "There's this huge gap between reality and its possible representations. And that gap is impossible to close. So as artists, we must try different strategies for representation. [] [A] process of identification is fundamental to create empathy, to create solidarity, to create intellectual involvement."[6]

      My strategy was to assist the lecture and ask Jaar a series of questions over breakfast the next day, a task for which I prepared by reading through countless previous interviews, seeking out those questions that have not been asked. The problem, however, with interviewing famous living artists, particularly during the height of their career, is that they have been asked the same questions countless times and the answers, whether intentionally or not, come readymade. I desisted from the interview format, choosing instead to relay the details of his artist talk, a condensed performance, but one as carefully composed as his works of art. The artist talk has become a genre in and of itself; its proliferation alongside the steady rise of global art fairs and biennials has been responsible for turning artists into international celebrities. I do not mean to suggest that artists are accomplices in or have intentionally facilitated such a turn of events, but simply to highlight it as a reigning phenomenon from which artists rarely escape.

Skoghall is a small town built to provide a workforce for a large pulp mill owned by a multinational corporation. In response to the lack of cultural provision in the town, Jaar proposed to design and build a new gallery — the Skoghall Konsthall — using funds from Stora Enso, the multinational corporation that ran the paper mill, rather than the public money he had been offered. The corporation agreed and construction began. The Konsthall was entirely constructed of paper and timber made in the paper mill.
