The best art helps us to see and feel in new ways - it can
challenge and provoke. Michael Rakowitz uses sculpture,
installation, and site specific experiences to transmit a vision
which reflects his Iraqi Jewish heritage and preoccupations which
range from war to family, to food. He has made it his mission to
test the boundaries of what we think of as art and has won
plaudits around the world. What does his work tell us about the
state we are in?
