Riverrun will host the exhibition “Every Wall A Door” by the Palestinian multimedia and installation artist Mona Hatoum from Thursday 10 May through Saturday 30 June. The opening will start at 18:00.
From the organizer:
Curtain/wall/door, screen/image/light. Every wall is a door, every image a passage; the invisible wall, imperceptible at first sight, becomes visible and perceptible only when you crash into it: with an embossed stamp, the paper takes on traces of things, and through the heat, manifests the potential, implanting the hair strands inside its own body. It’s the incredible strength of the fragile in the last instance that keeps us upright after all.
Even though we don’t immediately recognize the potential violence concealed in an ordinary household, the invisible hand that appears every time we open our mouths, the threat of war right under our noses, we are all under siege. Mona Hatoum’s Bunker invisibly invades riverrun’s bunker: just as traces of the past, destruction and great suffering appear like open scars here and there among the modules made out of steel box profiles, the works in the bunker appear in like manner, subtly, quietly, showing us that every sound can be a noise, every piece of paper a body, every wall a door.
