Edi Rama
The artwork of the Albanian artist and prime minister Edi Rama is inseparable from his political career. During telephone conferences and meetings he draws and paints on governmental correspondences and time schedules, producing a vivid and abstract journal of political life.
"What do we see when we are put in Rama’s seat of automatic creation? That in fact his drawing is the opposite of absentmindedness – it is the embodiment of present-mindedness."
Anri Sala
