Exhibition: The Best of Sammy Clark by Raed Yassin

The Best of Sammy Clark (installation, 2008) is a tribute to Raed Yassin’s fictive mentor, the eponymous Lebanese pop culture icon, and a contrived genealogy, which links the artist to the 1980s singer. The installation features 4 turntables simultaneously playing a different Sammy Clark LP, placed at the centre of a vivid pink and green room.

Raed’s installation contemplates the erosion of memory and of narrative possibilities and explores the limitations of the artist’s memory apparatus through the lens of consumer culture and popular music. The exhibition will be complemented by a series of events which further explore the intersection between popular music, radio and writing, curated by Rayya Badran, entitled Sonic Grounds.
