Lisa Ray Instagram – #Repost @khamsa.ig with @use.repost ・・・ Excited to collaborate with Suleman Faisal once again! I had the pleasure of curating a fantastic project for Coca Cola, where Suleman created a remarkable installation supporting the multinational’s women workforce. Thrilled to have him on board for the show ‘Before Meets After’ for @theupsidespace bringing a unique perspective to the curatorial premise. • Suleman Faisal, a visual artist and educator based in Lahore, Pakistan, explores various mediums including sculptures, videos, and performances. His multidisciplinary artworks delve into the latent aggression found within humans and objects, highlighting the subtle acts of violence inherent in socially-acceptable activities like cooking, hosting, or manufacturing. • In Rhythm I, Faisal vividly portrays the aggressive undertones of traditional cooking, where the act of preparing a meal involves taking the life of an animal or uprooting live vegetation from the earth. As a pacifist who delights in cooking and sharing meals, Suleman confronts a paradox when confronted with acts of violence like chopping and slicing, which contradict the joy of sharing. • Check out Rhythm I, available for purchase at @theupsidespace, as part of the exhibition Before Meets After, curated by Ambereen Karamat. @lisaraniray
