Scultore, ricercatore, disegnatore e a volte chef, l’artista americano di origine irachena Michael Rakowitz (New York, 1973) prende spunto dalle storie di edifici e oggetti per creare ambienti coinvolgenti. Mosso dalle aspirazioni utopiche e dai disastri della modernità, il suo lavoro si concentra sul luogo e sul tempo: la modernista St. Louis, lo stile liberty di Istanbul, l’Afghanistan post-talebano, l’Iraq al volgere del secolo. Un instancabile narratore che esplora la caduta del conflitto e dell’esilio mentre si diletta nelle strategie vernacolari e attiviste che le comunità adottano per sopravvivere. Questo catalogo ampiamente illustrato delle sue opere più importanti è accompagnato da un saggio di Carolyn Christov-Bakargiev, un’intervista all’artista di Iwona Blazwick insieme ai contributi di Habda Rashid, Nora Razian, Ella Shohat e Marianna Vecellio.

Iraqi-American artist Michael Rakowitz’s (b. 1973, USA) first major European survey presents a sequence of installations drawing on architecture, cultural artefacts and cuisine to tell stories of social ritual, conflict and loss. It encompasses work considering the citizen visionaries of post Soviet Hungary, Middle Eastern Beatles fans and the stone carvers of Afghanistan, with Rakowitz’s casts of players and objects revealing the legacy of colonisation, modernism and globalism. The artist’s life-size replica of the gigantic lamassu, one of two monumental winged bulls that once guarded the gates of Nineveh in Iraq, currently features on Trafalgar Square’s Fourth Plinth. This recreation of an ancient mythological creature is made from everyday date syrup cans and is part of an epic endeavour to recreate all 7,000 objects looted from the Iraq Museum in 2003, as well as those destroyed more recently at archaeological sites like Nimrud, also presented here.
