Tent. Londen, Whitechapel Gallery, 04-06-2019, 25-08-2019. - Gids toont een overzicht van de installaties en sculpturen van de Amerikaanse kunstenaar Michael Rakowitz Sculptor Iraqi-American artist Michael Rakowitz (New York, 1973) takes his cue from the histories of buildings and objects to create enthralling environments. Moved by both the utopian aspirations and the disasters of modernity, Rakowitz’s work focuses on place and time—modernist St. Louis, Art Nouveau Istanbul, post-Taliban Afghanistan, turn of the century Iraq. A consummate storyteller, he explores the fall out of conflict and exile while delighting in the vernacular and activist strategies that communities in extremis adopt to survive.
