Add Review/CommentThe second part of The Architecture of Desire features video work by Lida Abdul. Forced to leave Afghanistan as a child, Abdul's work addresses the ramifications of exile, war and oppression. Her compelling images of bombed and ruined buildings challenge conventional thinking about architecture by forcing the viewer to confront the destroyed building not as a ruin or as empty space, but as an expression of architecture of absence. Born in Kabul in 1973, Abdul left Afghanistan when the Soviets invaded in 1979. A 2006 recipient of the Prince Claus Laureate award, Abdul was the first Afghani artist to participate in the Venice Biennale (2005).
Sponsored by the Robert & Ruby Priddy Charitable Trust, National Endowment for the Arts, Elizabeth Firestone Graham Foundation and Bee Vradenburg Foundation.
