PRAISE AND REVIEWS
Carnegie Mellon Univeristy
School Of Art
Featuring over 40 international artists and architects (from Diana Al-Hadid to Xu Zhen) who use images, actions, materials and processes that speak to decimation and disintegration and our struggle to resist or overcome, "OUT OF RUBBLE" represents the aftermath of war in specific places (Beirut, Berlin, Gaza, Hiroshima, Kabul, Karachi, Nagasaki, Najaf, Sarajevo, Tehran, Tokyo and more) as well as in invented or unidentifiable sites. As the USA has just marked ten years of war in Afghanistan, the longest war in this country’s history, "OUT OF RUBBLE" is all too timely.
