Fully illustrated publication accompanying the similar named exhibition at Whitechapel Gallery, London ( June - August 2019), Castello di Rivoli, Turin (October 2019 - January 2020 and Jameel Art Centre, Dubai (March - August 2020 ). Iraqi-American artist Michael Rakowitz (New York, 1973) takes his cue from the histories of buildings and objects to create enthralling environments. A consummate storyteller, he explores the fall out of conflict and exile while delighting in the vernacular and activist strategies that communities in extremis adopt to survive. This year, Rakowitz is realizing - together with all inhabitants of The Hague - the art work Be Longing for The Hague Leidschenveen - Ypenburg.
