Raad v svojih delih raziskuje, kako vojne in desetletja družbeno-politične nestabilnosti, kakršne doživlja Bližnji vzhod, povzročajo trajno fizično in psihološko nasilje, ki se odraža v telesih, duševnosti, prostorih, tradicijah in spominih. Skozi fotografije, video dela, instalacije in performanse se Raadovo delo posveča ustvarjanju zgodovine in njenih naracij, ki so vedno pristranske, izključujoče in instrumentalizirane s pozicij moči. Namesto da bi v obstoječe zgodovine vključeval marginalne naracije, preoblikuje sam okvir zgodovinjenja ter ga osredinja na minljivost, dvoumnost in domišljijo.
 
Skozi ustvarjene dokumente in zgodbe, povezane s političnimi in družbeno-ekonomskimi konteksti Libanona in drugih območij Bližnjega vzhoda, si zamišlja nadomestni svet nasilja nad ljudmi, zemljo in zgodovino – svet, poln nepredstavljivega dvoma, idiosinkrazij, duhovitosti ter labirintnega prostora in časa. V tej razstavi Raad svoj časovni, geopolitični, kulturni in epistemološki okvir razširi tudi z vključevanjem vidikov slovenskega in (post)jugoslovanskega sveta, ki se jih loteva skozi nova dela, ustvarjena v dialogu z arhivskim gradivom Moderne galerije.
 
V Moderni galeriji bo Walid Raad predstavil umetniška dela iz svojih tekočih projektov: ?ℎ? ????? ????? (1989–2004), ????? ????, ??? ?? ??ℎ?? ??????? (??????ℎ??? ?? ?ℎ???? ? ????? ???????) in ?????? ??????: ?????? (?????̌???) (????? ????: ?????? (???????????)). Na kratko: ?ℎ? ????? ?????  (1989–2004) je Raadova kreacija dokumentov, ki se ukvarjajo z dolgotrajnimi vojnami v Libanonu; ????? ????, ??? ?? ??ℎ?? ??????? je njegova raziskava umetniških infrastruktur v »arabskem svetu«; ?????? ??????: ?????? (?????̌???) pa je dolgoročna dokumentacija Bejruta (njegovih stavb, ulic, izložb, vrtov itd.).

Opening:  ??????, ?? ???????? ????, ?? ? ??


At the Moderna galerija Ljubljana, we are announcing an exhibition by internationally renowned American-Lebanese artist ????? ????, titled  ???????? ?? (??)?????????.

In his artworks, Raad explores how wars and decades of socio-political instability, such as those experienced in the Middle East, cause lasting physical and psychological violence that is reflected in bodies, psyches, spaces, traditions and memories. Through photography, video, installations, and performances, Raad's work engages the creation of history and its narratives, which are always biased, exclusionary and instrumental from positions of power. But instead of inserting marginal narratives into established histories, Raad reshapes the framework of historicization, centering it on ephemerality, ambiguity, and imagination.

Through created documents and stories related to the political and socio-economic contexts of Lebanon and other parts of the Middle East, he imagines a surrogate world of violence against people, land and history, one filled with otherworldly doubt, idiosyncrasy, wit, and labyrinthine space and time. In this exhibition, Raad also expands his temporal, geopolitical, cultural, and epistemological frame by inserting aspects of the Slovenian and (post)Yugoslav worlds, which he tackles through new works created in dialogue with archival material from Moderna galerija.

At Moderna galerija, Walid Raad will present artworks from his three ongoing projects: ?ℎ? ????? ????? (1989–2004), ??????ℎ??? ?? ?ℎ???? ? ????? ???????, and ????? ????: ?????? (???????????). Briefly: ?ℎ? ????? ????? (1989–2004) is Raad’s creation of documents engaging with the protracted wars in Lebanon; ??????ℎ??? ?? ?ℎ???? ? ????? ??????? is his exploration of the infrastructures for the arts in the “Arab world”; and ????? ????: ?????? (???????????) is a long-term documentation of Beirut (its buildings, streets, shopfronts, gardens, etc.).
