Catalogue on the occasion of the similar named exhibition organized by Moderna Museet, Stockholm (February 15 - May 10 2020), and the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam (May 15 - October 13 )2019. Besides installation views and texts, the book includes a script of Raad's entire 75-minute performance/walkthrough 'Kicking the Dead and / or Les Louvres' that accompanied the exhibition. Walid Raad engages in how violence affects bodies, minds, culture and tradition. In his works, Raad proceeds from historical events to imagine seemingly ludicrous, bizarre, and wondrous situations and documents. The projects are closely linked to his experiences of growing up in Beirut during the civil war in Lebanon, moving to New York, and being an artist in a globally expansive art world.
