Walid Raad at Camp X

U-TURN Quadrennial for Contemporary Art in collaboration with Camp X presents two performance-lectures where the Lebanese media artist Walid Raad respond to his country's war history.

Friday November 7, 5pm

The Loudest Muttering Is Over: Case Studies from The Atlas Group Archive is a performance lecture, which collects examples from The Atlas Group Archive. This archive is a fictional organisation whose main purpose is to research and document Lebanese contemporary history with a special focus on the Lebanese wars from 1975 to 1991. Through out the years the organisation has found and created several documents: films, videos, photographies, notebooks and other objects. Walid Raad uses the documents from the archive in his performance-lectures. Therefore this performance-lecture is a good way to get an introduction to Walid Raad's works i general.

Saturday November 8, 8pm
My Neck Is Thinner Than a Hair is a part of the continuous investigation in The Atlas Group Archive. This is a multi-media/performance-lecture about the use of the more than 3.600 car bombs, detonated under the Lebanese wars from 1975 to 1991. More specifically Walid Raad investigates the events, experiences, objects and effects surrounding a car explosion that took place in Beirut on January 21 1986. After the performance-lecture there will be an informal conversation with the audience.
