\"The works of Lawrence Abu Hamdan (*1985 in Amman/JOR, lives and works in London and Beirut) often explore the contemporary politics of listening and have taken the form of audiovisual installations, performances, graphic works, photography, islamic sermons, cassette tape compositions, texts, forensic audio analysis, advocacy, expert testimony, and most recently potato chip packets.

In his largest solo exhibition so far «ﮫﯿﻘﺗ (Taqiyya) – The Right to Duplicity» at Kunst Halle Sankt Gallen, Lawrence Abu Hamdan examines the voice as a fundamental political instrument, the ways in which it constitutes truth and the place of lying in todays all hearing all speaking world. A new two channel video installation Contra Diction (Speech Against Itself) becomes the centre piece of this show and uses the theological, legal, linguistic and philosophical concept of Taqiyya as the thread that ties together the diverse range of works presented here. Taqiyya is an obscure component of Islamic jurisprudence practised by esoteric Islamic minorities and particularly by the religious community of the Druze in Palestine, Syria and Israel. The principle of Taqiyya, which is approximately comparable to the western concept of diplomatic immunity, allows members of a community to deny their faith or even to commit other illegal acts while subject to persecution or statelessness. Statements made under Taqiyya find themselves within and outside the law at the same time. Between truth and falsehood Taqiyya thus installs itself as the legal principle that allows to inhabit those spaces inbetween.

Abu Hamdan’s work shown in his St. Gallen exhibition incorporates a wider range of strategies to lay bare the fact, that although freedom of speech may persist, the conventions of listening have certainly shifted. The all-hearing state apparatus, which forms the basis of Abu Hamdan’s deliberations, promotes a policy of total transparency which perceives secrecy as the greatest threat to democracy. While radical freedom of speech has come to be a guarantee of a just society, individuals seem to be permanently urged to confess themselves and to bear witness. Between the right to speak and claim for silence Abu Hamdan examines a policy of audibility which increasingly demands new concepts of speech.

Lawrence Abu Hamdan unfolds the underlying concept of Taqiyya in a variety of contexts and aesthetic practises whether through the work Conflicted Phonemes (2012) – a cartography of accents that exposes the practices of asylum policies, that rely on the enunciation of a single syllable as proof of origin and citizenship – or by exhibiting a private collection of dissimulating colonial paintings in his installation Double-Take: Officer Leader of the Chasseurs Syrian Revolution Commanding a Charge (2014). Abu Hamdan seeks to disclose the inherently unfaithful nature of testimony and the impossibility of Western truth production.

Duplicity is the motif Lawrence Abu Hamdan brings us to see and hear in multifaceted ways between documentary and staging, between traditional speech acts and the most recent voice analysis technologies. In terms of Taqiyya he opens up a new understanding of speech, of the unfaithful nature of the voice and its relationship to truth – and in the process questions the fundamental conditions under which we speak, lie or remain silent.\"

\"Contra Diction: Speech Against Itself is a live audio essay employing a series of sonic manipulations and pre-recorded samples to explore the concept and practice of Taqiya. This is a form of communication and political practice forged at remote altitudes, at the fringes of failed states, in buffer zones and on ceasefire lines. Focusing on the stories of alleged mass conversions of the Druze minority in northern Syria by Wahhabi groups Abu Hamdan investigates how such minor speech acts can help us re-appraise the precision of speaking, the multiple ways of remaining silent and the inherently unfaithful nature of ones voice.

Contra Diction (speech against itself) (2015) realises the performance as a two channel video installation in which one of the screens is a teleprompter, the speech apparatus from which the political lie often originates, and formally as a video playback device it symbolizes both duplicity and transparency. Wissam (2016) is a model of a vernacular technique that uses obsolete audio-cassette tape to ward off the birds and stop them eating fruit on the trees. Wissam is both a character in Abu Hamdan’s performance and a diagram for the concept of taqiyya.\" (Maureen Paley, 2016).
