erational dimension: the artist continues the grandfather's practice, affording the grandson a virtual return to Iraq. But rather than being an expression of sheer nostalgia, the reen- actment intervenes in the contemporary US/Iraq political land- scape. In this reincorporation of the old company, Rakowitz returns, as it were, to his family’s roots and routes, now envel- oped in recent issues and concerns. His gesture of sending and receiving goods is especially meaningful against the back- drop of the 1990s sanctions that inflicted much suffering on lraqis, which they circumvented through fake repackaging. La- belled as products of Lebanon, Saudi Arabia or the UAE, Iraqi staples were distributed globally under different guises. Yet RETURN features the 2003 invasion as a source of freshly troubled border crossing, making the return to the grandfa- ther’s import/export business an unfulfilled desire.
