The exhibition Good Dreams, Bad Dreams - American Mythologies brings together the work of over 56 artists and more than 160 pieces from the Tony and Elham Salame Collection. Borrowing its title from an installation by Allen Ruppersberg, the exhibition features the work of a multigenerational group of artists who engage in a complex analysis of American popular culture, entertaining a love and hate relationship with the founding myths of the American dream.

Good Dreams, Bad Dreams is the second exhibition in a series of presentations of the Tony and Elham Salame collection at their recently opened Aïshti Foundation in Beirut, designed by David Adjaye. It follows the inaugural exhibition “New Skin” which focused on the intersection of abstraction and information in contemporary painting.
