Ayyam Gallery Damascus will proudly unveil Oil Leaks, a series of new installations by the artist and filmmaker Ammar Al Beik. Coinciding with Nassouh Zaghlouleh’s Trance, which will be on display in an opposite section of the gallery,  Oil Leaks, is comprised of six works, Maradona Vs Bush, Demopublicans, No War for Oil, Trickyleaks, Awaiting for Grendizer, And the Cooper Stumbled.

 

At a time when the US has expanded its military operations to Libya, Al Beik examines some of the events that have defined American intervention in the Arab world over the past decade with some of his most overtly political art to date. Elucidating the geopolitical agendas that have fueled these interventions, mainly the issue of who controls the world’s largest oil reserves, Al Beik presents unyielding commentary on the current state of global politics.
