Monument to Habitat Compensation Island
Monument to Habitat Compensation Island is a research project and publication that starts with this tiny artificial island in the Arabian Gulf and addresses its implications and relations within the global landscape.

H. Rider Haggard on the Imperial Frontier
"This is the first book-length study of H. R. H.'s African fiction. It revised the image of Rider Haggard (1836-1925) as a mere writer of adventure stories, a brassy propagandist for British imperialism. Professor Monsman places Haggard's imaginative works both in the context of colonial fiction writing and in the framework of subsequent postcolonial debates about history and its representation."--BOOK JACKET.
Adapt to Survive
Concrete is collaborating with Hayward Gallery, London to bring Adapt to Survive: Notes from the Future to Dubai from 7-21 November 2018.

Kitab Sulayim Ibn Qays Al-Hilali
Bilinguale Edition (Arabisch / Deutsch). Das älteste und eines der wichtigsten der Usool (Original-Hadithsammlungen), das bis heute noch vorhanden ist, ist das Buch von Sulaym Ibn Qays Al-Hilali (-2-76 AH/620-695 n. Chr.). Imam Jafar al-Sadiq (a.s) sagte: "Wer von unseren Schiiten und Liebhabern das Buch von Sulaym ibn Qays Al-Hilali nicht hat, (dann) hat er nichts von unseren Angelegenheiten, und er weiß nichts von unseren Ereignissen. Dieses Buch ist das Alphabet der Schiiten und ein Geheimnis von den Geheimnissen der Familie von Mohammad (saww)." [Quelle: Al-Dhari'a, Band 2, S. 152]
Histories of City and State in the Persian Gulf

Kader Attia
One of the rising stars in the international art scene, Kader Attia (b. 1970) is a French-Algerian multidisciplinary artist whose powerful yet complex images, objects and installations examine the way cultures and histories have been constructed.Attia often plays with the vocabulary of museums and architecture to trouble the boundaries between different worlds, particularly Western and non-Western, through his use of re-appropriated and repaired everyday objects and ephemera, such as African masks, stapled paving cracks, assemblages of prostheses and photographs of surgical reconstruction.An in-depth interview with Hayward Gallery director Ralph Rugoff explores the artist's major themes, whi...
Here and Elsewhere
This catalogue, accompanying the New Museum exhibition Here and Elsewhere, presents the work of over 45 artists who share roots in the Arab world and a critical sensibility with regard to images and image-making. The title of the exhibition is borrowed from a 1976 film-essay by Jean-Luc Godard, Jean-Pierre Gorin and Anne-Marie Miéville. Their film, Ici et ailleurs, was conceived as a pro-Palestinian documentary, but evolved into a complex reflection on the ethics of representation. Taking inspiration from this film--which has had a strong impact on Arab artists--Here and Elsewhere examines the role of the artist in the face of historical events. An anthology of critical texts edited by Bidoun magazine highlights the critical discussions that have animated contemporary art in the Arab world. Among the artists included are Fouad Elkoury, Hrair Sarkissian, Hassan Sharif, Anna Boghiguian, Simone Fattal, Ziad Antar and Etel Adnan.
