By: Red Gate Gallery ‘Prophecies and Deceits’ An installation artwork by artist Sousan Luqman Private View: End View: Exhibition runs from: Friday 10th April to 16th April 2009 Gallery Opening Hours: Fri, Sat, Sun, Mon – Wed 2.30 pm - 6.30 pm Last day of exhibition: The key issues tackled within the body of work of the forthcoming installation are concealment, transparency and hidden messages. ‘Prophecies and Deceits’ uses motifs and words to explore the correlation between religion and politics, creating a pseudo-religious space that seeks to draw attention to the intrinsic relationship between religion, the media and war. Inspired by Arabian Mashrabiyah designs, ‘Enlightenments’ Questioning motives behind political rhetoric and its consequences on truth ‘Pitch’, equally part of the same body of work continues the theme of concealment and revelation. Luqman dissects speeches by world leaders, singling out each spoken word, in order to physically dislocate each from its original utterance. By doing so each word regains its status, yet looses cohesion and the power to tell lies or truths. Within Luqman’s installation each word appears weightless, without foundation, vibrating with the slightest movement nearby. South Yemen born, British artist Sousan Luqman’s first hand experience of war informs her work, bringing personal insight into current global issues with a cynicism for power and politics. End
