Lara Baladi 

press release

The works of Lara Baladi (b. 1969 in Beirut, Lebanon) blend Islamic motifs with Barbie kitsch and pop culture. Together Baladi's photographic collages, installations and videos are like a mosaic whose allusions range from everyday life to the cinema, performance and advertisement imagery. Based in Cairo, Baladi grew up in Paris and London, where she graduated in 1990 with a BA from Richmond University. The show is produced in collaboration with BildMuseet, Umeå, Sweden; Nikolaj Copenhagen Contemporary Art Center, Denmark; and LänsMuseet Västernorrland, Härnösand, Sweden. A catalogue in four languages presenting Baladi's work is published in conjunction with the exhibition.
