グッゲンハイム美術館さんのインスタグラム写真 - (グッゲンハイム美術館Instagram)「Recent acquisition to the #GuggenheimCollection: Lawrence Abu Hamdan (@lawrenceabuhamdan), “Contra Diction” (2015) __ “Lawrence Abu Hamdan’s practice is based in meticulous research and collaboration. ‘Contra Diction: Speech Against Itself’ began as a live audio essay examining what the artist describes as the ‘politics of listening’ in an era of increased surveillance. In the installation version of the piece, Abu Hamdan uses a monitor and teleprompter to present his text, which he filters through a series of sonic manipulations and supplements with visuals from previous artworks and documentary footage. Drawing from sources such as a press conference given by a falsely-accused Anthrax attacker and the alleged mass conversions of the Druze minority in northern Syria by Wahhabi groups, the lecturer's true subject is speech itself and the myriad ways in which we might, as the artists has suggested, ‘represent ourselves in this all-hearing, all-speaking world.”—Lauren Hinkson, Associate Curator, Collections (@mamacurator) __ Purchased with funds contributed by the Young Collectors Council with additional funds contributed by Eleanor Killian, 2017 #Guggenheim #LawrenceAbuHamdan」5月18日 1時27分
