2015
Overview
During the summer of 2014 a section of the New Museum's ground floor was transformed by a wallpapered installation that transported viewers to the lavish interior of an Abu Dhabi hotel. Over the Visitor Services desk of the New York institution was a frieze of stately portraits -- the type of official imagery that is often seen in public (and private) spaces in the Arab world. Adhered to the back wall and elevator doors of the lobby, the installation, The One and Only Madinat New Museum Royal Mirage (2014), belonged to the GCC, a group of artists and cultural practitioners originally from Persian Gulf states, many of whom grew up in Kuwait. Assuming the acronym of the Gulf Cooperation Council the collective uses tongue-in-cheek appropriation as the basis of performative installations and happenings. In the exhibition El Madani's photographs were shown as part of Objects of study/The archive of Sherazade/Hasem el Madani/Studio practices (2006), the archival project of the Lebanese artist Akram Zaatari.
