Beirut

The Sfeir-Semler Gallery is hosting an exhibition by Walid Raad entitled "Scratching on Things I Could Disavow ".

Four years after displaying the first edition of his ongoing project on the history of the arts in the Arab world, Walid Raad presents "Scratching On Things I Could Disavow", now expanded from its first chapter on post-war Beirut to explore other forms, gestures, institutions and practices from across Middle East. The exhibition explores the ideological, economic, political, but most importantly, the aesthetic dimensions of this recent fascination with the arts in the Arab world. The show will include sculptures, videos, photographs and stories.
