...Moving Beyond the Time of Salt, the first solo exhibition of works by Barbadian-Scottish artist Alberta Whittle in Germany, is presented by Sour Grass in collaboration with Temporary Gallery. Weaving dense networks around themes of liberation, anti-colonialism, care and resistance, the exhibition presents films, works on paper, installations, performances and a social collaboration based on the concept of radical hospitality and collective care. Whittle's work references contested colonial history(ies) and contemporary anxieties expressed in systemic racism, violence and grief to stimulate the collective imagination. Her work is an open invitation to co-create spaces for intimacy, listening, expanded kinship and collective healing.

Sour Grass is a curatorial experiment and duo founded by Holly Bynoe and Annalee Davis in 2020. The project aims to collaborate with artists and creatives from the Caribbean and its diaspora to build relationships with museums, cultural institutions, collectors, publishers, biennials, and private and public institutions. Sour Grass is particularly interested in alternative art education, building discursive programs and connecting with global worldviews and myths to highlight affinities and parallels with the Caribbean.
The exhibition will be on display at the Temporary Gallery in Cologne until December 15, 2024.

Barbadian-Scottish artist Alberta Whittle's diverse practice is primarily concerned with developing a personal response to the legacies of the Atlantic slave trade by exposing its links to institutional racism, white supremacy and the climate crisis in the present day. Whittle aims to focus on hope in the face of oppressive political circumstances and explore different forms of resistance. Whittle represented Scotland at the 59th Venice Biennale and was awarded the Paul Hamlyn Awards for Artists in 2022. In 2020 she received the Turner Bursary and the Frieze Artist Award, and in 2018/19 she was the winner of the Margaret Tait Award. Whittle is currently presenting a new solo exhibition at the Institute of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles and is also participating in the 14th Gwangju Biennale. The Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art (Modern One) in Edinburgh has mounted a major solo exhibition of her work to date in 2023.
