March 12, 2022
Discover the works of Lawrence Abu Hamdan at his latest institutional solo exhibition ๐๐ข๐ธ๐ณ๐ฆ๐ฏ๐ค๐ฆ ๐๐ฃ๐ถ ๐๐ข๐ฎ๐ฅ๐ข๐ฏ: ๐๐ฉ๐ฆ ๐๐ฐ๐ฏ๐ช๐ค ๐๐ฎ๐ข๐จ๐ฆ at Sharjah Art Foundation.
For this show, Abu Hamdan proposes a series of works immersed in the concept of โatmospheric violenceโ, an idea that can be witnessed interruptions, silences, โsonificationโ of images and historic sounds linked to witnesses, among others. The exhibition showcases an auditory atlas created from Hamdanโs approach to the expanded possibilities of the engagement of listening as an historic act, but also as a quotidian gesture.
The show will feature new iterations of recent multi-sensory works, including the commissioned piece titled Air Conditioning (2022), which links the ocular and the auditory regarding the 2006 July War between Israel and Lebanon.
