About the Program

Beirut artist, Rabih Mroué, returns to Vancouver with a video installation exhibition entitled, Nothing To Lose. This exhibition questions what we know and what we have read, the tumultuous relationship between fact, fiction, and construed narratives. Mroué’s practice explores the media’s ability to reinterpret and misinterpret, and the subjective impact this has on the public. His performances are both conceptually and politically bold, using the backdrop of Lebanon to construct works that speak to everyone. His practice emerges from a generation of artists in Beirut that came of age during the civil war (1977-1990); works often address the aftermath, using photography and video to deconstruct and reconstruct its devastating consequences.

Presented with grunt gallery and PuSh International Performing Arts Festival, Rabih Mroué hosted an Art & Politics workshop for performance artists, theatre actors, and those involved with the performing arts in the gallery on January 11, 2014.
