Rabih Mroué: The Inhabitants of Images
An audience of 175 guests attended on 17 April 2012 the lectureperformance 'The Inhabitants of Images', given by 2011 Prince
Claus laureate Rabih Mroué .
Organized by BAK (basis voor acutele kunst), SMART Project Space
and Prince Claus Fund for Culture and Development to mark the receipt of t
he Prince Claus Award as well as the release of the first comprehensive
publication analyzing his work,
Rabih Mroué: A BAK Critical Reader in A rtists? Practice.
After introductions by Thomas Peutz (SMART Project Space) and
Maria Hlavajova (BAK), Rabih Mroué analyzed in his three-part 'non-aca
demic lecture' several instances of the manipulation of images for political e
nds in Lebanon. Mroué received the Prince Claus Award 'for his radical in
terrogation of memory, power, and the construction of truth'.
The work's point of departure
was an image of a poster that Mroué saw in Beirut, featuring an
(otherwise impossible) meeting between former Lebanese Prime Minister
Rafic Hariri (born 1944, died 2005) and former Egyptian President Gamal
Abdel Nasser (born 1918, died 1970). The artist then examined a series of
images of commemorative posters of martyrs and sets off a flow of
speculations about the fabrication of political mythologies, masterfully
mixing fact with fiction.
Finally Marjorie Boston (Director MC Theatre and Member of the
Board of the Prince Claus Fund) thanked Rabih Mroué and the audience. T
he evening was closed with drinks.
