Description: 23, 22 p. : col. ill. ; 30 cmSubject(s): Hilal, Sandi, 1973- -- Exhibitions | Petti, Alessandro, 1973- -- Exhibitions | Refugees -- Social conditions -- ExhibitionsLOC classification: N6498.I56 | H55 2018Summary: The NYU Abu Dhabi (NYUAD) Art Gallery presents the first institutional retrospective of the artists and architects Sandi Hilal and Alessandro Petti. Throughout their work, the duo explores the state of "refugeeness," a condition meant to be temporary, but that has become permanent for many populations. Their project departs from the traditional reduction of refugees to victims and instead employs a wider interrogation of the present condition of impermanence and displacement affecting a vast number of people living as guests in host countries. Their artwork lies between conceptual speculation and an artistic practice. It is based on spatial interventions in art, architecture, discourse, research, and communal learning, often operating outside the typical art exhibition venue format. --Gallery website.
