Ibraaz Reader 009/04
Continuing our 009 theme on the genealogies of performance art in the Middle East, Ibraaz is pleased to publish an essay on Hassan Khan's recent exhibition at Frankfurt's Museum für Moderne Kunst. Khan has also produced an online presentation of 17 and AUC in Projects. We are also showcasing an original commission by Hasan Hujairi, alongside a personal response from the artist to our Platform 009 theme. In Interviews, we publish conversations with Oreet Ashery, Eric Baudelaire, and Gülsün Karamustafa, whilst on our Channel, we present videos from Wafaa Bilal and The Dictaphone Group.
