Beschreibung
● Artistic strategies to respond to the Palestinian situation
● Histories of displacement and new narrations
● First major monograph
How do cultural institutions and artists respond to long-standing states of crises and international emergencies? It is with these questions in mind that Palestinian artist Khalil Rabah’s artistic practice investigates the future of visual arts production. Exploring the relationships between historically sanctioned and experimental exhibition settings, fictional and documentary-narratives, and the histories of displacement, his methods not only propose but produce speculative institutions. As the artist’s first major monograph, Falling Forward / Works (1995–2025) presents a comprehensive selection of exhibition materials, previously unseen archival documents, and detailed background notes on how Rabah’s methods relate to broader themes in his work. The volume also introduces new critical writing from curators, authors, and researchers on the interrelated subjects of anticipatory aesthetics, subterfuge and fugitive acts, mimicry and performativity, knowledge production, archival technologies and, crucially, the politics of humor.
