Mahmoud Khaled

  • Mahmoud Khaled works primarily with painting, installation, video, and text. Even though it is organized around material engagement and object-oriented output, his practice is largely informed by fictional, literary, and historical devices, and attends to a rigorous excavation of forgotten histories of state and colonial violence that have yet to be resolved in the collective psyche. Throughout his career, Khaled has explored legacies of modernism in Egyptian architecture and urbanism, economies of desire in the gay porn industry, queer fugitivity contra dominant regimes of representation, objecthood as a portal to the politics of memory, and the performativity of national and postcolonial monuments.
