SUMMARY:The Dead Weight of a Quarrel Hangs: Selections from The Atlas 
	Group Archive
DESCRIPTION:  Since 1999\, this provocative Lebanese- American artist 
	has been building an archive of audio\, visual and literary documents 
	- some fiction\, some fact - known as The Atlas Group\, a fictional fo
	undation that documents the spiraling cycles of violence in contempora
	ry Lebanon\, while calling into question the veracity of accepted sour
	ces. This\, the first exhibition of the Atlas Group's work to be shown
	 in Houston\, includes two series of photographs (My neck is thinner t
	han a hair: Engines\, 2003\, and We decided to let them say\, "we are 
	convinced" twice. It was more convincing this way.\, 1986-2006) and tw
	o video projections (I only wish that I could weep\, 2002\, and Hostag
	e: The Bachar Tapes\, 2000). The works deal with perceptions and memor
	ies of living in a war-torn country\, and all blur the boundary betwee
	n fiction and non-fiction\, challenging viewers to take responsibility
	 for what they believe. Raad's work has been featured in Documenta\, t
	he Venice Biennale\, the Whitney Biennial Exhibition and numerous othe
	r presentations in Europe\, the Middle East\, and North America. He is
	 associate professor of art at The Cooper Union\, New York. Glassell S
