Description
Santiago Sierra
Black Flag
Limited edition vinyl record, numbered and hand-signed by the artist, which includes the sound recordings made during the expeditions to the North and South Poles. The publication is accompanied by an offset printed photograph of the two poles with its corresponding numbered and signed certificate.
Year of project: 2015
Dimensions:
LP sleeve: 31 x 31, 5 cm.
Sound North Pole side 20' 05".
Sound South Pole side 21' 01"
Offset photograph: 59,5 x 59,5 cm.
Edition: 100 numbered and signed copies.
Santiago Sierra’s Black Flag records the process and performance of planting the universal symbol of the anarchist movement - the black flag – at the two most extreme points on Earth: The North and South Poles. In this gesture Sierra critiques the concept of territory and the practices of nationalism imbued in such acts; throught this act of piracy, of anti-sovereignty, the artist subverts the conventions on wich state-hood is constituted.
On 14 April 2015, Santiago Sierra completed the first part of Black Flag at the geographic North Pole, latitude 90° N. The expedition travelled from the remote island Svalbard to the kinetic Russian ice base Barneo, using a network of private tourism and logistical support companies to complete the journey. From the base, several trips were undertaken to document the planting of the flag and the sorrounding landscape. Eight months later, on 14 December 2015 – exactly 104 years after Roald Amundsen’s successful Norwegian expedition to the South Pole – the final instalment of Black Flag was completed. Using the more replete and permanet infrastructura of Antartica, the flag was planted at the geographic South Pole, Latitude 90° S. The expeditions to both poles were documented with photographs and sound recordings. The flags were both left in situ.
This limited edition vinyl record features the sound recordings taken during the expeditions to the North and South Poles, respectively. The sound recording was produced with the support of Sennheiser and with the assistance of Leandro Fresco, Stephan Matschke & Peter Nikolai.
Black Flag is a collaboration between Santiago Sierra Studio and a/political.

Presentation
Santiago Sierra (Madrid, 1966) studied Fine Arts at the Universidad Complutense de Madrid and at the University of Fine Arts Hamburg (HFBK) between 1989 and 1991, as well as at the Academia de San Carlos in Mexico City between 1995 and 1997.
Sierra's work attempts to make visible the perversity of the power structures that foster the alienation and exploitation of workers, the injustice of labour relations, the unequal distribution of wealth produced by Capitalism and the perverse nature of work and money, and racial discrimination in a world marked by unidirectional South-North migratory flows.
Recent solo exhibitions include El Bebedero, Prometeo Gallery, Milan, Italy (2016); Laboratorio, Mexico (2015); Helga de Alvear, Madrid, Spain (2016); Kunsthalle Tübingen, Germany (2013); Te Tuhi Centre, New Zealand (2013); Reykjavik Art Museum, Iceland (2012); MARCO, Spain (2009); Museu Madre, Italy (2009); CAC Málaga, Spain (2006), Museum Dhondt-Dhaenens, Belgium (2004).
Sierra has also participated in numerous group exhibitions, including the Museum of Modern Art, Poland (2016), the National Art Gallery of Poland (2015), Kunsthalle Düsseldorf (2014), Hamburger Bahnhof - Museum of Contemporary Art, Berlin (2014) and the 55th Venice Biennale. Sierra represented Spain at the 50th Venice Biennale in 2003.
