First major survey of one of the worlds most provocative and politically engaged artists. Tate Modern exhibition, London 4 May-21 August 2016 Born in Beirut to a Palestinian family, artist Mona Hatoum came to Britain as a student in the mid-1970s, settling in London in 1975. Her art - whether video, performance, sculpture or installation - is concerned with confrontational themes including violence, oppression and voyeurism, often in reference to the human body; and with the juxtaposition of opposites such as beauty and horror, desire and revulsion. With 250 colour images covering the whole of Hatoum's ouevre, this is the essential book on a distinctly powerful voice in contemporary art.
