3Arts and Culture in Davos 2013

From visual arts to literature and music to theatre, the arts exert a powerful influence on society. Artists reconnect us to our senses and help us to re-imagine the world; they help us understand issues in new ways and inspire us to reach out across cultures.

The World Economic Forum is proud to engage a community of cultural leaders in its Annual Meeting 2013. We look forward to their valuable contributions on a variety of compelling topics in the Cultural Programme and in the wider discussions taking place at the Annual Meeting.

To further inspire participants, we have organized exhibitions in the Congress Centre: one highlighting the work of artist Daniel Orson Ybarra, and the other a special collaboration with the CERN.

The Forum will also present its Crystal Award to three exceptional cultural leaders who are deeply committed to addressing the world’s challenges. We warmly congratulate Sharmeen Obaid Chinoy, Charlize Theron and Vik Muniz for their exemplary contributions.

Vik MunizArtist, Vik Muniz Studio, USA

Vik Muniz was born in São Paulo, Brazil. He lives and works in New York and Rio de Janeiro. A comprehensive retrospective of Muniz’s work travelled through Brazil in 2009-2010 after making rounds through the United States, Canada and Mexico. The venues for the show included the Miami Art Museum, Seattle Art Museum, P.S.1 MoMA, the Museum of Contemporary Art in San Diego, Museum of Art São Paulo and the Museum of Contemporary Art in Montreal, with an audience of over 500,000 people.

The retrospective began its European tour in September 2011 at the Museum Colecção Berardo in Lisbon, and will open next at the Centro de Arte Contemporânea in Malaga, Spain. A major retrospective of his work is currently on view at the museum Collection Lambert in Avignon, France.

In December 2008, Muniz was the guest artist at the Museum of Modern Art exhibition series Artist’s Choice: Vik Muniz-Rebus. Other international solo exhibitions in recent years are: Vik Muniz at the House of Photography; The Beautiful Earth at Paço das Artes e Galeria Fortes Vilaça in São Paulo; Pictures of People at the Baltic Centre for Contemporary Art in the United Kingdom; Vik Muniz at the Irish Museum of Contemporary Art in Dublin; Vik Muniz at the Centro Galego de Arte Contemporânea in Santiago de Compostela, Spain; Vik Muniz at the Museum of Modern Art, Rio de Janeiro; and the Museum of Modern Art, São Paulo.

In the United States, major solo exhibitions are: The Things Themselves: Pictures of Dirt at the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York; Vik Muniz at The Tang Teaching Museum and Art Gallery in New York; Clayton Days at The Frick Art & Historical Center in Pittsburgh; and Seeing is Believing at the International Center of Photography in New York.

Muniz was a guest artist at the 49th Venice Biennale; the 2000 Biennial Exhibition at the Whitney Museum of American Art; the XXIV Bienal Internacional de São Paulo; and The 46th Corcoran Biennial Exhibition: Media/Metaphor at The Corcoran Gallery of Art in Washington DC. A catalogue raisonné of Muniz’s entire oeuvre (1987 to 2009) was published by Capivara Ed., Rio de Janeiro, in December 2009.

Major publications about Muniz’s work include Reflex: A Vik Muniz Primer, Portuguese version published by Cosac Naify, SP, Brasil in 2007 and English (original version) by Aperture, New York, 2005; Incomplete Work, published by the National Library Foundation, Brazil, 2004; and Vik Muniz, Natura Pictrix: Essays and Interviews on Photography, published by Edgewise Press (New York, Turin, Paris), 2004.

Muniz’s work is included in the collections of museums around the world such as the Art Institute of Chicago, Los Angeles Museum of Contemporary Art, The J. Paul Getty Museum, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Museum of Modern Art (New York), Museu de Arte Moderna de São Paulo, and the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, among others.

Besides making art, Muniz is involved in social projects that use art-making as a force for change. One of these projects can be seen in Waste Land, a 2010 documentary about his work with Brazilian garbage pickers, which was nominated for an Oscar and won the Sundance Audience Award for Best Film, among other prizes. He has also developed education programmes for Brazilian youth in

partnership with non-governmental and not-for-profit agencies such as Stimulus and Observatório de Favelas. In 2011, Muniz was nominated as Good Will Ambassador by UNESCO.

Muniz has also been a guest speaker at major universities and museums, including Harvard, Yale, the TED Conference, New York University, the International Center of Photography, the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Museum of Modern Art of São Paulo, the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston and, most recently, at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in Boston.

We talk about the environment, discuss it, but with a train of thought that is always evolving. The artist is constantly changing these perceptions of the environment; this is what I call landscape. The way in which we see the environment today has an evolutionary history that was heavily developed within art, through people who were concerned with the way in which we relate to nature..

Sharmeen Obaid ChinoyDocumentary Filmmaker, SOC Films, Pakistan

Sharmeen Obaid Chinoy is an Academy Award and Emmy Award winning documentary filmmaker. Her recent films include Saving Face, Transgenders: Pakistan’s Open Secret and Pakistan’s Taliban Generation, which aired on PBS, Channel 4, CBC, SBS and Arte and was the recipient of the Alfred I. duPont Award as well as The Association for International Broadcasting Award. Obaid Chinoy has made over a dozen multiple-award-winning films in over 10 countries and is the first non-American to be awarded the Livingston Award for best international reporting. In 2012, Time magazine included her on its annual list of the 100 most influential people in the world.

In 2007, Obaid Chinoy was awarded the Broadcast Journalist of the Year Award in the United Kingdom by One World Media for her work on a series of documentary films for Channel 4, which included a film about xenophobia in South Africa, The New Apartheid, and Afghanistan Unveiled. Her other films have been awarded The Overseas Press Club Award, The American Women in Radio and Television Award, The Cine Golden Eagle Award and the Banff Rockie Award.

Obaid Chinoy’s work has taken her to over 10 countries where, among other things, she has worked with refugees, women’s advocate groups and human rights defenders. By bringing their voices to the outside world, she has often helped them bring about a critical change in their communities.

In 2007, Obaid Chinoy helped found The Citizens Archive of Pakistan, a non-profit, volunteer organization dedicated to fostering and promoting community-wide interest in the culture and history of Pakistan. At a time when Pakistan’s youth finds itself caught between religious and state ideologies, the organization works with thousands of underprivileged children to inculcate critical thinking skills and instil a sense of pride about their history and identity.

As a senior TED fellow, Obaid Chinoy organizes TEDx conferences annually in Karachi, bringing accomplished Pakistanis together onstage to share their experiences and developments with the rest of the country. She has also been actively involved in launching Karen Armstrong’s Charter for Compassion and adapting it for Pakistan with a group of committed people.

As a public speaker, Obaid Chinoy has spoken on different platforms about her work including TED, The World Affairs Council, Asia Society, and Harvard and Yale Universities, as well as at various high schools and events across Europe and North America. Additionally, she has written for several local and international publications including The Independent, The Philadelphia Inquirer, The Globe and Mail, and Dawn and The News newspapers in Pakistan.

Obaid Chinoy is a graduate of Smith College and holds two master’s degrees from Stanford University in Communications and International Policy Studies.

My films are guided by my desire to give voice and presence to those that are unable to tell their own story; from survivors who take on the judicial system to ensure that acid violence becomes a federal crime to transgender communities seeking to carve an identity for themselves – my films aim to bring awareness and insight to communities that need it the most

Charlize TheronActress and Founder, Charlize Theron Africa Outreach Project, South Africa

With her ability to capture a plethora of characters and relentless demand of the audience’s full attention as soon as she appears on screen, Oscar winner Charlize Theron is one of the greatest actresses of our time. She has continuously been praised for her inspiring and powerful performances in films such as The Devil’s Advocate, The Italian Job, The Cider House Rules, North Country, Snow White and the Huntsman and Young Adult. Theron also captivated audiences as female serial killer Aileen Wuornos in the independent classic, Monster. It was for this role that she received the Academy Award for Best Actress as well as the Independent Spirit, Critic’s Choice, Golden Globe, Screen Actors Guild, San Francisco Film Critics Circle, New York Film Critics Online and Southeastern Film Critics Awards, and the Breakthrough Performance Award from the National Board of Review.

In addition to Theron’s acting success and principal involvement with her production company (Denver and Delilah Films), she has always placed a profound importance on giving back. She is an advocate of LGBT and women’s rights, and is particularly passionate about issues affecting her home country of South Africa. In 2007, Theron launched the Charlize Theron Africa Outreach Project (CTAOP) with the mission of helping to keep African youth safe from HIV. The Project is committed to supporting community-engaged African organizations that address the key drivers of the disease. By supporting these organizations through grant-giving, networking and spotlighting their work, CTAOP serves as a vehicle for communities to maximize their ability to mobilize and empower themselves to prevent HIV.

In 2008, Theron was appointed United Nations Messenger of Peace by UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, and has travelled in this role to the Democratic Republic of Congo to help spotlight the epidemic of sexual violence in the country. Theron also sits on the board of the organization VDay, the global movement to end violence against women and girls.

In 2012, Theron joined Bono, Bill Gates, Arianna Huffington, Ban Ki-moon and other activists to support The Big Push, a campaign launched by The Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria to try to bring the world one step closer to achieving once-unthinkable goals in global health.

I’m so proud of being South African – and am heartbroken that our country is still plagued by HIV. As long as young people do not have access to comprehensive health information and healthcare, this disease will not lose its grip. At the end of the day, all young people have to make their own choices; but the global community can help get them the knowledge, resources and power to make responsible decisions.



Art Exhibition

The World Economic Forum proudly presents an exhibition on view in various locations in the Congress Centre during the Annual Meeting 2013.

Arts and culture have long been an integral and important part of the World Economic Forum’s activities. While many of our participants are drawn from the worlds of business and policy, we are dedicated to incorporating artists and cultural leaders into our activities to explore how the arts inspire us, challenge our perspectives with fresh thinking and play a vital role in improving the state of the world.

This year, the exhibition highlights the abstract art of Daniel Orson Ybarra as well as photographs from a special collaboration with the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN). In both cases, a coming together of art and science brings into sharp relief the beauty and complexity of the world around us.

We hope these works will inspire a new sense of possibility.

Daniel Orson Ybarra

Peter Ginter and the CERN


The Large Hadron ColliderThis exhibition is an attempt to master the balancing act between the two disciplines of science and art. On one hand, it tries to get observers excited about the wonderful world of particle physics and give them some understanding of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC); on the other, it is a work of art. It is both a photographic documentation of one of the most fascinating machines in the world and a literary approach to the most exciting questions of our time.

Peter Ginter has been interpreting the LHC artistically for 15 years with his photographs and has created an impressive hymn to research with his images.

In the final analysis, however, this unique exhibition will be whatever the observer makes of it. May it inspire you, fascinate and amuse you, and set off a Big Bang in you.

Peter Ginter: A Voyager in the World of ParticlesPeter Ginter was born in Germany in 1958 and started freelancing as a photographer for newspapers while he was still at school. Since 1984, he has taken photographs for dozens of feature articles in prestigious German and international magazines such as GEO, Stern, Paris Match, Life and National Geographic.

Ginter has won five World Press Awards and the Art Director’s Club Gold Medal for his photographs depicting different scientific fields.

Fascinated by the beauty of particle physics, Ginter has become a celebrated name in the photography of science. His first trip to CERN was in 1998 to photograph a previous large accelerator; since then, he has returned many times. His project on CERN’s flagship accelerator, the Large Hadron Collider, began in 2000 and has taken him around the world, visiting not only CERN, but also collaborating laboratories in Germany, Pakistan, Russia, Spain and the United States.

Through his lens, the immense instruments of particle physics become works of art with people always occupying a central position. Ginter reveals the beauty of science and the human adventure behind it.

I was born in Montevideo, Uruguay, in 1957, an agreeable and hospitable country. My maternal grandparents arrived there from Moscow and Odessa. On my father’s side, the family hailed from Bilbao, Spain, and St Jean-de-Luz in the Basque country of France. My childhood rolled by in a calm and harmonious environment, and it was grandmother Anastasia who made an everlasting impression on me, teaching me to read, cook, draw and paint from my early years on. It is to her that I owe thanks for infusing in a playful manner my love for books and the arts.

Perhaps the origins of my family or the numerous stories I had heard or even my own curiosity led me to decide, at the age of 18, to travel the world. When asked the purpose of this trip, I would respond that since I am part of it, I should at least get to know it. No one dared contradict me. Although my priorities lay in studying philosophy and psychology followed by literature and the fine arts, I was still unsure of my final choice of studies.

My travels began in South America, but what was meant to be a one-year sabbatical turned into an eight-year adventure that took me through South America, the United States, all of Europe and Scandinavia, North Africa and some countries of the Middle East.

While I was preparing and dreaming of my trip, I hung a world map on the bedroom wall and indicated my ports of call using red and green drawing pins. Red coded destinations were those I really wanted to visit and spend some time at, while the green ones indicated a passing curiosity, a place to skim through. Geneva, where I now live, was coded in green.

Knocking about around the globe for many years makes sedentary life difficult to readjust to. That is what attracted me to Geneva, a place through which I felt one could transit. And yet, I have been living here since 1984 and am a father of three. I spend my time between Geneva, Valencia and Barcelona, where I have collaborated on art and architecture projects with the EAAS Group (European Architecture & Art Studio) since 1991.

The components of my reflections on the plastic arts are mainly focused on the relation between light and space, and always linked to all types of organic forms, as well mineral and vegetal life. Furthering my study into formal and plastic analysis, I call upon concepts such as the stratification of images, accumulations and repetition.

Daniel Orson Ybarra

Daniel O. Ybarra, Germinations Mixed media, 2012, various sizes


The Tranquil LabyrinthGerminaciones, Semilleros, Chaosmos: The latest works by Daniel Orson Ybarra straight away reference nature and that which is dynamic about it: the process of growth, of engenderment, of inflorescence, which go from a withheld intensity (withheld from its potential, from the future), to a dilated, relaxed and spatialized expression in its form, liquids, fruits, flowers or leaves. These paintings, or rather these collages and collections are inscribed in the logic of the preceding paintings: plays on coloured shadows, on iridescent light across foliage that digital photography restores with a light blurriness upon which paint will be laid, as if to soften the naturalist reference and move it, slowly and attentively, within the realm of abstraction. Here is the beginning of a counter process that has just opposed itself to the natural model and deviated from its linear logic and opened itself to the trans-formative act which is art itself. The meta-phor takes the place of the metamorphosis; the leaves on the tree which served as a point of departure for paintings become, in Germinaciones, wind-blown in the strictest sense of the word, a stack of transparent plastic films; each stratum is marked by an intervention, painting or drawing, on a part of its surface, in such a way that all of it together, once finished, lets the forms appear in a skilful game of hide and seek, within the context of restrained depth. The appeal of the infinite bottom, i.e. the bottomlessness of the depth, the crossing of planes which transparency allows, is accentuated and temporized by the different layers formed by the strata; the latter are at once moments in which the eye stops (each stratum has its form) and is redistributed: certain elements of each stratum enter into contact with the elements of the other strata situated above and below, indifferently. This is not a derelict indifference, rather a radical conversion of the art of painting which is without a doubt the greatest invention of the

20th century: the introduction, in the mode of production of the form, of devices for which the collage is the model, and which impose their own objective logic onto the subjective logic of the painter (...) Closer to dream-like images, the Germinaciones are contractions of that which is possible, of mixtures of affect, of the movement of the eye, determined by what little certainty and support the vertigo of depth offers and reassembles as it pleases. Germinaciones creates a metaphor out of natural metamor-phosis, Semilleros shifts it to another place where we can qualify it, by seeking to employ figures of speech, synecdoche, the part for the whole (...)

As for the Semilleros, they seem to present themselves as the desire to take this moving labyrinth into their own hands, to travel around it, to punctuate it, to dilate it. The painted elements are individualized, cut out and distributed like so many independent touches are one to another. Then the drawing pins fix these pieces of painting onto the support, through overlapping in general, sometimes by juxtaposition. The temporary character of the drawing pin (one pins something in order to see, then affixes) gives at first a character of uncertainty to the whole thing, a playful and unfinished aspect. But we know from Picasso’s pushpin collages suspended in space from the workshop beams, that this relates to the “greatest invention” in painting: to move from technique, device and material conditions to the form; readymade is neither more nor less than this, rather it is this; for readymade is but a moment in painting, passage, the pure and radical place where what serves to

expose is in fact exposed, then immediately reversed in as much in the movement of the process as in its formation. Here, Daniel continues and deepens this gesture, he continues it from the past which is the Germinaciones to open it to the present, which is the Semilleros.

If transparency is maintained, it is now in the thrall of the pushpin, it has become itself an element, and no longer the condition of the distribution of the elements. This being the case, the condensed, withheld intensity, a condition of all of the possible layouts, and which represent that which is a painting, substitute an expanse which demands doing away with the frame, something which turns rather towards installation which is also one of the facets of Daniel’s work.
