Widely recognized for his video-recorded tableaux vivants that reconfigure iconic moments in art and history, Adad Hannah investigates the complex issues proposed by art of the 21st century: our relationship to history, the relationship between art and the institution, the relationship between art and community, and the function of the contemporary voice and body in the experience of art. Published on the occasion of Hannah’s new project - a major installation involving numerous participants, sets, backdrops, and videos - this publication has been conceived as a conversation about Hannah’s work. Original essays by curators, critics, artists and journalists consider the past ten years of Hannah’s production from unique and personal vantage points. Illustrated with works from the instigating exhibition along with works produced for some of the world’s major art institutions, this monograph provides the first-ever career overview of the work of Adad Hannah.
