HARROWING WORDS Heyman’s The Broomstick Art Was Metal.

The afTermaTh of aTrociTy Wafaa Bilal and daniel Heyman at BroWn’s Bell Gallery _By GreG CooK

That damned Iraq war. Of course the fweapons of mass destruction proved to be bullshit. And the Bush Administration dicks (Cheneys) let the whole misbegotten failure spiral out of control. Because they were arro- gant and incompetent and cruel. Ten years and nearly 5000 coalition deaths and more than 100,000 (by the lowest estimates) Iraqi deaths later, we’re (sorta) out of there, but the bombs still blast and people still die. It’s all ruins. From those ruins emerges Wafaa Bilal’s “The Ashes Series” and Daniel Heyman’s “I Am Sorry It Is So Difficult To Start,” on view at Brown University’s Bell Gallery (64 College St, Providence, through May 26). Bilal is an Iraqi-born artist, now teaching in New York, whose brother was killed in Iraq during the war. He’s best known for his 2007 piece Cranston Domestic Tension, in which he spent a month in 401-944-0000 Chicago’s Flatfile Gallery in range of a paintball E.

It spotlighted the aggression roiling A MIRAGE OF TRUTH an image from Bilal’s ‘ashes’ series. through the world, and its innocent victims. Bilal’s “Ashes” photos are quieter. At first, the images feel both real and somehow off. It turns out “These images exist in the aftermath of atrocity,” Bilal that in 2003 Bilal began collecting news photos of blasted writes. “These images also serve as mirrors to my desire sites in Iraq and recreating them as miniature models, to return home to Iraq when this is not possible.” The which he then reproduces in photos.
