The Triumph of Icarus: Life and Art of Rasheed Araeen

The volume of essays is a celebration of Rasheed Araeen's multifaceted artistic career. These essays collectively reflect the impossibility of fixing meaning in a body of work that continually offers new hermeneutic possibilities, on the other, they reflect upon the historical, cultural and ideological factors by which Araeen as artistic subject was interpellated by the British art establishment into its discriminatory discourses and his resistances to their limited vision. Includes biographies of contributors.
