Dor Guez - Artist Talk
Dor Guez (born in Jerusalem) is an artist and a scholar who lives in Jaffa.
Guez is a critical voice from the Middle East whose work interrogates personal and official accounts of the past while revealing histories that were previously absent. His work raises questions about contemporary art's role in narrating unwritten histories, and re-contextualizing visual and written documents. The artist's cultural heritage, Christian Palestinian and Jewish Tunisian, is reflected in his artistic interest.
Guez’s latest on-going project, "The Sick Man of Europe", has been shown at the ICA (Institute of Contemporary Art, London), MOCAD (Museum of Contemporary Art, Detroit) Villa Stuck Museum, Munich and CCA, Tel Aviv.
