Yto BarradaFaux GuideSfeir-Semler Gallery Beirut
May 27 - August 27,2016Address: Tannous Building - Quarantine - Lb-2077 - 7209 Beirut - tel.: + 961 1 566 550 Drawing largely from her extensive collection ofphotographs, fossils and objects gathered in Morocco,the exhibition Faux Guide opens with a dinosaurskeleton (a gesture which might allude to the nationalpride of state-run natural history museums in the West,who proudly display Moroccan dinosaurs, whileMorocco itself lacks any such publicinstitution.). Notions of imprint, collageand assemblage stretch across Faux Guide. A series ofcast assemblages in plaster extrapolate the notion ofthe imprint — present in natural molds (fossils) and inthe working models made by paleontologists — toaesthetic terrain. The act of collecting — by thescientist and ethnographer; the artist; the museumcurator; the amateur collector; to the child collectingrocks that look like camels — is both a preoccupationof the exhibit and it’s mode of presentation.
