Langlands & Bell - The House of Osama bin Laden

This exhibition features an interactive digital model allowing a virtual exploration of the former home of Osama bin Laden. The model is one of six works by British artists Ben Langlands and Nikki Bell on show in the exhibition. All of the works are the result of a two-week visit to Afghanistan in October 2002 on a research commission for the Imperial War Museum, London. Also shown are a series of photographs of the signs Non-Governmental Organisations, UN and other donor agencies placed in the streets to advertise their presence as well as a short film, Zardad?s Dog, edited from live footage that the artists shot at the trial of a notorious war commander at the Supreme Court in Kabul.

The exhibition is commissioned by the Imperial War Museum, London, and is curated by Angela Weight, its Keeper of the Department of Arts. It is organised in collaboration with IMMA. Pressetext
