Tent. Walid Raad : Let's be honest, the weather helped, Stockholm, Moderna Museet, 15-02-2020, 10-05-2020. - Tekst van de kunstenaar Jalal Toufic bij de gelijknamige tentoonstelling. -Small sized text book by Jalal Toufic. Joan Copjec about the book: A brilliant, ramifying series of thought experiments, Postscripts rigorously avoids becoming a no-stakes mind game. Here, the stakes - political, aesthetic, ethical - are quite high. For, the experiments are rigged to combust those ideas and stances that insufficiently tolerant of counterfactuals - fail to pass their test. Deadly serious and humorous at once, these thought rifts for a moment expose what is unthinkable - but for the creative collaboration they stage between the two aspects of "the mortal, dead while still alive" - before it is once again abducted. Jalal Toufic invents and masters his own transversal genre, sentence by ingeniously-placed sentence.
