A brief visit to Farooq’s workshop in Doral (west of Downtown Miami) provided me a glimpse of a project that only a fool could pursue: a plus-life-sized, down-to-the-centimeter reproduction of an MiG 21-BIS fighter jet. Following an artist talk hosted by Locust Projects in August 2015 and a recent studio visit, Shana Beth Mason offers her thoughts on Farooq's current work in production 'BALALAIKA'.
