Out of Rubble

Edited by Susanne Slavick. Text by Susanne Slavick, Holly Edwards.

The chaos left behind in the wake of warfare shapes the present and future of a country both physically and psychologically. Out of Rubble presents over 30 international artists who consider war's aftermath, from decimation to regeneration. Artists include Diana Al-Hadid, Jennifer Allora & Guillermo Calzadilla, Xu Bing, Mary Kelly, Julie Mehretu, Thomas Ruff and others.

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.
