On Hospitality : Layla Al-Attar and Hotel Al-Rasheed
- 2023
-
Konstnärligt arbete (film/video) (refereegranskat)abstract
- In this work, an experiment is carried out that could be called necromancy: a dead person is made to speak to us alive about the past. Necromancy is always an integral part of historiography: using the imagination based on source studies, speculating about the context of history. We meet Layla Al-Attar, an Iraqi artist who talks about a special hotel in Baghdad and the concept of hospitality. Hotel Al-Rasheed was built by order of Saddam Hussein to house the meeting of the Non-Aligned Movement in Baghdad in 1982. The construction of the hotel was a gigantic Swedish industrial project, today forgotten. It was led by SKANSKA company in Kalmar and more than 1000 companies contributed, many of them small businesses from the province of Småland. But the meeting in Bagdad never took place, the war with Iran broke out.During the Gulf War, Hotel Al-Rasheed became the scene of the world's first televised war. Layla Al-Attar provided the entrance with a mosaic image depicting George Bush's face, as well as the text "George Bush is a criminal". A US missile hit her home in 1993, killing her, along with her husband and housekeeper. The artist had received her invitation from the dictator, she saw the incredible hotel materialize and made her political comment. But she had to pay the price.The work is part of the group exhibition "Här omkring" ("Round here"), Designcentrum, Nybro, 13/05 - 27/08 2023.The exhibition has also been shown at Form/Design Center, Malmö, 22 November 2023 – 14 January 2024.

Konstnärligt arbete (refereegranskat)abstract
- Tying wreaths is associated with life and fertility but also death. The material for my typeface consists of cut-out details from embroidery; tablecloths, tapestry and other images from a time period of approximately one hundred years. In this work forms and times co-exist – it is based on research around word images, visual poetry and folkloric tapestry with moralisms. Moralisms are based on fear (Nietzsche), and the work can be viewed as warning texts. Texts on the wall also have a different kind of reading manner than printed texts and are inscribed in a history of warnings, decrees, exhortations as well as invocations. The exhibition moves between the literal and the metaphorical, a chorus is formed by quotes from music, philosophy, anthropology and social psychology – they depict – and stage – time and the irrational elements of social communities.Kulturcentrum Ronneby Konsthall 22.1 – 13.3 2022

The Great Memory
- 2023
-
Konstnärligt arbeteabstract
- The title of the exhibition is borrowed from W. B. Yeats idea of a reservoir of souls and images that functions meeting point between the living and the dead. Humans would have access to the great memory through dreamlife, either by dreaming or by inducing oneself into a hypnagogic state to listen to voices of the dead, who would share their wisdom, as well as giving advice about everyday life actions.The great memory could be viewed as a metaphor or symbol for our relation to history; a constructed “space” where temporality is collapsed, and the private merges with the collective.Exhibition, Flip projects, Naples, 4 November – 20 December 2023
