Dear friends, I am proudly proclaiming that one of my video works will be on view at Torrance Art Museum, California, USA: The Darkroom Presents / Time is Love.7 ~ International video art program, curated by Kisito Assangni: Rahman Hak-Hagir - CRITICISM (2013) An Artistic Critique on the Judgement of Taste. Video performance [1:43] ••• Link: https://vimeo/77907453 Torrance Art Museum 3320 Civic Center Drive Torrance, CA 90503, USA August 23rd - October 18th, 2014 Opening Reception Saturday, August 23rd, 2014 from 6 - 9 pm (View detailed program by clicking the link below) The selected artists deliver us without concession a range of complexities and passions generated by human relationships. Each of the artists leads an interdisciplinary practice bringing a questioning and a criticism on a system of relation to others which appears to us as being dying. Videos deal with prevented communications, disturbed feelings, globalization, memory and spirituality. Love as universal feeling extricates itself here from traditional clichés and from a timeless idealism. (Kisito Assangni, London) Rahman Hak-Hagir (Austria) is an Austrian-born Vienna-based half-afghan conceptual and performance artist who began his career in 1990. Active for two decades in varied fields of art, his work is recently focussing on the conflicting priorities between individual and social environment. Criticism, 1:43, Rahman Hak-Hagir, 2013 It always was the privilege of comedians to illuminate the king and his court by clues and messages camouflaged behind symbols. My conceptual performative work contributes to all these anonymous jesters who served social evolution and human cohesion across history.
