520 8 |a Iraqi-American artist Rakowitz reconstructed thousands of artefacts looted from the National Museum of Iraq in Baghdad, and those more recently destroyed at Middle Eastern archaeological sites. Sculptor, detective, draughtsman, and some time chef, Iraqi-American artist Michael Rakowitz (New York, 1973) takes his cue from the histories of buildings and objects to create enthralling environments. Moved by both the utopian aspirations and the disasters of modernity, Rakowitz's work focuses on place and time--modernist St. Louis, Art Nouveau Istanbul, post-Taliban Afghanistan, turn of the century Iraq. A consummate storyteller, he explores the fall out of conflict and exile while delighting in the vernacular and activist strategies that communities in extremis adopt to survive. This fully illustrated survey of his most important works is accompanied by an essay by Carolyn Christov-Bakargiev, an interview with Michael Rakowitz by Iwona Blazwick, and a range of perspectives contributed by Habda Rashid, Nora Razian, Ella Shohat, and Marianna Vecellio.
