So happy to announce that our book Mona Hatoum: Tuebulence is now available internationally! Mona Hatoum: Turbulence, edited by Sam Bardaouil and Till Fellrath published to accompany the artists first major exhibition in the Arab world, highlights the diverse artistic output of Mona Hatoum (born 1952) over the past 30 years. Its centerpiece is the work Turbulence. Placed exactly at the exhibition spaces center, this installation comprises a 13 x 13-foot square composed of thousands of glass marbles laid directly into the floor. The notion of turbulence as a conceptual framework for the exhibition is derived not only from this key piece, but also from the thematic and formal dichotomies and unexpected juxtapositions within Hatoums work at large. As collected in this volume, turbulence arises on three levels: the internal, as a questioning of her own identity, confused by alienation and displacement; the public, as a reflection upon common notions of belonging and collective memory; and formal, as an inquiry into ways of expanding artistic expression.
