In March 2017 the New Museum and Kvadrat announced a three-year partnership focused on supporting the realisation of ambitious new works by emerging artists who have not yet had a significant exhibition in New York or in the rest of the US. RU by Petrit Halilaj is the first of three commissioned installations that are developed within this partnership.

----
Petrit Halilaj often uses his own biography as a point of departure for his works, incorporating materials from his native Kosovo, and using drawing, text and video to create ambitious spatial installations through which he translates personal relationships into sculptural forms.
发掘、历史档案及相互交织的个人、政治和神话历史是Petrit Halilaj作品中反复出现的主题，其最新多层面装置作品《RU》继续发掘失落、隐蔽和经太重新演绎的历史，探索了与其故乡 Runik 的新石器时期定居点相干连的故事和物体。
----
Excavation, archives and the intertwining of personal, political and mythic history are recurring themes in Halilaj’s work. Continuing his exploration into lost, concealed and repurposed histories, Petrit Halilaj’s new multifaceted installation RU explores stories and objects connected to a Neolithic settlement beneath his hometown of Runik.
Runik 镇出土的505件古代器物是科索沃迄今发现的最重要的新石器时期文物之1。由于20世纪90年代的科索沃战争，这些珍贵文物现在流失到几个国家，其中最有价值的物品被寄存在塞尔维亚贝尔格莱德自然历史博物馆。
----
The results of a past archeological dig in the town uncovered 505 objects that comprise part of the country’s most significant material history from the period. Now spread across several countries as the result of the Kosovo War in the 1990s, the most valuable of these objects currently reside in storage at the Natural History Museum in Belgrade, Serbia.
对1个失去共同历史记忆的国家，这些物品具有重要的意味价值，但它们被保存在 Runik 人没法接触的地方，与此同时，初期人类文明的证据还不断在今天的 Runik 被发现，构成这个仍然满布冲突和分裂缝迹的地方的集体遗产。

在《RU》中，Petrit Halilaj展现了大量的新视频作品、几件大型纺织品雕塑、和他以候鸟飞行动作和栖息地为灵感创造的更广阔空间环境。

In Petrit Halilaj’s RU, Halilaj presents a number of new video works, several large textile sculptures, and an extensive environment that draws on his research on the flight patterns and habitats of migratory birds.
《RU》的入口是1段森林式分支空间，用于展现口述历史和神话的诞生，其中505件陶磁器物被重新设计成类似候鸟的形状架在黄铜“腿”上。Petrit Hali盛泽工作服laj的朋友和邻居通过在他们故乡土地上发现的神秘器物讲述 Runik 新石器时期文明的故事，并解释这些文物€€€€角、头、躯干€€€€所包括的神秘意义。
----
RU is entered through the bare branches of a forest-like space of oral history and myth making in which 505 ceramic artefacts are reimagined as a floc朝阳轮胎工作服冬装k of migratory bird-like forms on brass legs. Halilaj’s friends and neighbours tell stories of Runik’s Neolithic civilisation through mysterious objects they have discovered on their land and interpreted €€horns, heads, torsos €€ which are attributed with mystic significance.
