And so, Raad's astringent performance and sizable exhibition
of works associated with the long - term project Scratching on Things I Could Disavow (2007 —
ongoing) delve into the after - effects
of violence in the Middle East that are not only political but also economic, such as the creation
of a retirement fund for artists that blithely hops across the major fault line
of the Arab — Israeli
conflict, or the construction
of new museum projects in the Gulf, or the movement
of Raad's own work in relation to art - historical narratives in different places and times that exert various pressures on him, which at one
point appear to drive the artist - as - performer insane.
