Ruth Ewan is a Scottish artist based in Glasgow, who focuses on projects looking at social movements and protests. [1]
Ruth Ewan was born in Aberdeen, Scotland, in 1980. [2] She studied fine art at the Edinburgh College of Art, graduating in 2002. [3]
In 2003 Ewan began a project that is still ongoing to create an archive of songs that carry a message about changing the world. She used her own research, and that of other people. [12] She invites participation from others, via a section on her own website. [13] In April 2018, it was in the Yorkshire Sculpture Park, Bothy Gallery, where some songs included references to Donald Trump. [14]
Ewan created new clocks based on the French Republican Calendar which ran for 13 years from 5 October 1793. Each day was made up of 10 hours. The work is made up of ten clocks, and was commissioned for Folkestone's Triennial in 2011. [15] There are two clocks which were made in addition to the initial ten, one red and one black. The red version is held by the Tate Britain, and the black by the Museum of Modern Art in Warsaw. [16]
In 2018, as part of the Edinburgh Art Festival, Ewan collaborated with magician Ian Saville to commission 16 political magicians to perform at various venues through the city. [17] [18]
Damnatio memoriae is a modern Latin phrase meaning "condemnation of memory", indicating that a person is to be excluded from official accounts. Depending on the extent, it can be a case of historical negationism. There are and have been many routes to damnatio memoriae, including the destruction of depictions, the removal of names from inscriptions and documents, and even large-scale rewritings of history. The term can be applied to other instances of official scrubbing; in history the practice is seen as long ago as the aftermath of the reign of the Egyptian Pharaohs Akhenaten in the 14th century BC.
