Life and work
Walid Sadek uses poetic and metaphoric language to evoke on post war Lebanon.[1] In 1999, he produced Bigger than Picasso a tiny and unexpected book using word and image to criticize a political situation in the country.[2]
Sadek, who has regularly collaborated with Beirut-based artist centre Ashkal Alwan, has participated in numerous exhibitions and events worldwide. In 2010, he presented his first solo exhibition at the Beirut Art Center.[3] He was guest editor of the academic journal Third Text on issue 117, July 2012, titled "Not, Not Arab".[4]
Publications
- Fi annani akbar min Picasso (bigger than Picasso), (Beirut, Ayloul Festival, 1999)
- Al-Kasal [Indolence] with Bilal Khbeiz (Beirut: The 3rd World, 1999)
- The Ruin to Come, Essays from a protracted war (Motto Books, Taipei Biennale, 2016)[5]
Collected essays, written in Beirut over a period of 10 years between 2006 and 2016, look at the conditions of living under a temporality theorized as the "protracted now" of a civil war, one structurally capable of perpetuating the conditions of its own dominance.
