Khalil Rabah: Review
Beirut Art Center, Beyrouth, Beirut, 06/28/2012 - 08/18/2012
ABOUT
The works presented in Review are the most recent outcomes of on-going projects that the artist has been working on for the past ten years. The title of the show refers to the processes by which Rabah has reached these most recent iterations: the act of looking over something again; and the method of surveying with the possibility or intention of instituting a change if necessary. The works presented may vary in medium, from painting to photography and sculpture to installation; however the thread of the exhibition is underlined by their shared concerns, such as: the boundaries between the imaginary and reality; the use of objects and images as palimpsests; collisions between conventional and unconventional media within various institutions; the role of the gallery, museum and biennial; the synthesis of local realities in an international context; and the document as source and a document’s sources.
