Taysir Batniji - No Condition is Permanent

Mathaf: Arab Museum of Modern Art, Doha
Part of Qatar-MENASA 2022 Year of Culture

Presented within a global context of social uncertainty and fragility of historical narratives, the exhibition No Condition is Permanent is conceived as a reflective space dedicated to the artist Taysir Batniji (b. 1966 Gaza).

Photograph by Palestinian artist Taysir Batniji titled Gaza Walls, depicting a damaged poster on a corrugated metal surface.

The show is a survey that puts works in dialogue, featuring productions and reproductions of his art created between 1997 and 2022. During this period, the artist lived in France, but his life and work meditate on Palestine. While the exhibition’s title refers to a single artwork, the curatorial narrative and works on display look at Batniji’s diverse practice using photography, drawing, video, installation and performance. This exhibition is co-curated by Abdellah Karroum and Lina Ramadan.
