Notable exhibitions

World Rehearsal Court is a large-scale installation that draws on Radul’s research into the role of theatricality and new technologies in the court of law. Based on trial transcripts from International Criminal Tribunals, the exhibition presents a series of pre-recorded courtroom scenes, an evidence room, objects, and a series of computer-controlled live cameras that feed to an array of monitors that turns the gallery into a theatrical and cinematic space.

Morris and Helen Belkin Art Gallery,

The work serves as an example of Radul's long-running interest in art, technology and the law.[8] In explicitly identifying the performative aspects of the courtroom, the World Rehearsal Court questions the objective and immutable truth that the court process purports to uncover.[9]

  • Radul also exhibited at the 2014 Berlin Biennale[10][11]
