اعكس وضعك STRIKE Oppose اعكس وضعك STRIKE Oppose STRIKE Oppose اعكس وضعك STRIKE Oppose اعكس وضعك STRIKE Oppose A play on words of the expression “strike a pose”, the words “strike oppose” in conversation may sound like a command to model oneself for a camera snapshot, however on closer inspec- tion the phrase comprises two words that denote resistance. Almost everything these days is broadcast or communicated over the internet, TV or radio. Be it live news reports on natural disasters, the infidelity of a political official, an execution undertaken by terrorists, a panda sneeze getting 2.4 million hits on YouTube, or a 13-year-old’s RT #AWESOME coffee date with BFF @HotBunny15 – we are in a constant state of posing for or assembling in an audience. The vast intake and exchange of all forms of openly sourced content is often uncritically ac- cepted under a guise of reality. In this exhibition we examine how Arabs are both represented and projected in the ever-streaming flow of communication. The artworks inspect different forms of opposition or acquiescence to media, government regulation, kitsch and consumer culture, vanity, social taboo, injustice and mindless hogwash. اعكس وضعك قد تبدو عبارة »اعكس وضعك« في سياق احلديث كما لو أنها إمﻻء أو أمر لتعديل الوضعية التي يتخذها املرء في لقطة أمام عدسة التصوير، ولكن عندما نغوص في املعنى أكثر، جند أن الكلمتني معا ًتعبران عن املمانعة لوضع قائم. في هذه اﻷيام، يتم بث وعرض كل شيء تقريبا ًعبر اﻹنترنت، أو التلفاز، أو املذياع. وفي الواقع، نحن في حالة مستمرة من اﻻستعراض أثناء وقوفنا أمام اجلمهور أو اﻻحتكاك بهم، إن يكن ذلك متعلقاً بالتقارير اﻹخبارية حول الكوارث الطبيعية، أو فساد مسؤول حكومي، أو حكم باﻹعدام ينفذه إرهابيون، أو عطسة حيوان باندا تسترعي اهتمام أكثر من 2.4 مليون مشاهد على »يوتيوب«. وغالبا ماً يتم قبول الكم الهائل من احملتوى السطحي متعدد الوسائط الذي يتم استعراضه وتبادله بحرية حتت ستر احلقيقية. في هذا املعرض، نقف على كيفية تقدمي وإظهار العرب في هذا الدفق الدائم من املعلومات. وتسلط اﻷعمال الفنية الضوء على اﻷشكال اخملتلفة لﻻعتراض أو املوافقة على ما تبثه وسائل اﻹعﻻم، والتشريعات احلكومية، والثقافة الباهتة واﻻستهﻻكية، والتكبر، واحملظورات اﻻجتماعية، والظلم، والترهات. 1 2 قائمة احملتويات table of contents 5-6 رسالة من مقتني اﻷعمال الفنية Letter from the collector 5-6 7-8 مقدمة Introduction 7-8 9-12 لقاء خاص: مقابلة مع الفنانة زينة اخلليل Featured artist: Interview with Zena el-Khalil 9-12 13-14 يوسف نبيل Youssef Nabil 13-14 15-16 فؤاد اخلوري Fouad Elkhoury 15-16 17-18 طارق الغصني Tarek El Ghoussein 17-18 19-20 شريف واكد Sharif Waked 19-20 21-22 هدى لطفي Huda Lutfi 21-22 23-24 ندمي كوفي Nedim Kufi 23-24 25-26 كرمي ريسان Kareem Risan 25-26 27-28 أحمد السوداني Ahmad Alsoudani 27-28 29-30 فتحي حسن Fathi Hassan 29-30 34-31 لقاء خاص: مقابلة مع الفنان قادر عطية Featured artist: Inverview with Kader Attia 31-34 35-36 منال الضويان Manal Al Dowayan 35-36 37-38 حسن حجاج Hassan Hajjaj 37-38 39-40 د. أحمد ماطر Dr. Ahmad Mater 39-40 41-42 عبد الرحيم شريف Abdul Rahim Sharif 41-42 43-44 زكريا الرمحاني Zakharia Ramhani 43-44 45-46 عبد الرحمن املعيني Abdul Rahman Al Ma'aini 45-46 47-50 حتت دائرة الضوء In retrospect 47-50 املتبقي Residua رؤية محيطية Peripheral Vision 3 4 letter from the collector رسالة من مقتني اﻷعمال الفنية As we approach the one-year anniversary of the Barjeel Art Foundation, I look back with pride on what we have يسعدني فيما نقترب من الذكرى السنوية اﻷولى لتأسيس ”مؤسسة بارجيل للفنون“ أن أعبر عن فخري مبا استطعنا حتقيقه من been able to achieve in such a short period of time.

It is upon reading the words separately that one realises each word ”خذ وضعية“، وهي العبارة التي يتم استخدامها عادةً عندما يطلب من أحدهم اﻻبتسام أو القيام بتعبير ما ﻻلتقاط صورة. ولكن إذا connotes resistance. Strike has a range of meanings: to hit; collide; attack; eliminate something from a record; ما أمعنا النظر في عبارة Strike oppose (»اعكس وضعك“)، سنجدها حتمل في كلتا كلمتيها معاني الرفض واملقاومة؛ فقد تعني refrain from working to voice demands. Interestingly, the word pose, which is a particular way of standing, Oppose ً Strike .sitting or positioning oneself, is embedded in the word oppose, which means to refuse or reject كلمة مثﻻ اﻹضراب، أو الضرب، أو الهجوم، أو محو شيء من السجل، في حني تعني كلمة الرفض وعدم اﻻنصياع، وهي تشتمل بطبيعة احلال على كلمة Pose التي تعني الوضعية أو طريقة الوقوف. It is astonishing how appropriate these words have become in the context of the Arab world in 2011. Up until two months ago, and for the past 30 or so years, many Arab regimes projected a fa ade of stability.

    For Immediate Release Contact Allegra Favila [email protected] 212/998-6789 EXHIBITION RETHINKS MID-CENTURY ABSTRACT ART IN MIDDLE EAST AND BEYOND Taking Shape: Abstraction from the Arab World, 1950s–1980s On view at New York University’s Grey Art Gallery January 14–April 4, 2020 Taking Shape: Abstraction from the Arab World, 1950s–1980s explores the development of abstraction in the Arab world via paintings, sculpture, and works on paper dating from the 1950s through the 1980s. By looking critically at the history and historiography of mid-20th century abstraction, the exhibition considers art from North Africa and West Asia as integral to the discourse on global modernism. At its heart, the project raises a fundamental art historical question: How do we study abstraction across different contexts and what models of analysis do we use? Examining how and why artists investigated the expressive capacities of line, color, and texture, Taking Shape highlights a number of abstract movements that developed in the Middle East, Mohamed Melehi (Morocco) North Africa, and West Asia, as well as the Arab diaspora. Across Composition, 1970. Acrylic these regions, individual artists and artist collectives grappled with on wood, 47 1/4 x 39 3/8 in. issues of authenticity, national and regional identity, and the Collection of the Barjeel Art decolonization of culture.

    Barbara Werner Główny Specjalista ds. Ogrodów Historycznych Muzeum Łazienki Królewskie TULIPAN Marszałek Józef Piłsudski rośnie i zakwita na 100-lecie odzyskania niepodległości Od końca XVI wieku tulipany, które do Europy zachodniej, do Niderlandów przybyły z Turcji, na dobre zadomowiły się w europejskich ogrodach i nie sposób sobie wyobrazić wiosny bez ich obecności także w Łazienkach Królewskich. Z biegiem czasu z gatunków botanicznych powstała cała gama tysięcy odmian tulipana. Pojawiły się tulipany o różnym kształcie kieli- cha kwiatu, kolorze czy pokroju liści, o zróżnicowanym okresie kwitnienia – od wczesnej do późnej wiosny. Tulipany są obecnie niemalże wszędzie. Są symbolem wio- sny, radości i odradzającej się natury. Prezentują niemal całą gamę kolorów, od białych do prawie czarnych. Są popularne na całym świecie i nierzadko upamiętniają poprzez specjalną „cere- monię chrztu” wybrane wielkie postaci w historii poszczególnych krajów. Nowe odmiany tych niezwykłych, wybranych tulipanów rejestrowane są w Holandii przez Królewskie Powszechne To- warzystwo Uprawy Roślin Cebulowych (Koninklijke Algemeene Vereeniging voor Bloembollencultuur, KAVB) o ponad 150-letniej historii, z siedzibą w Hillegom. Jednym z tych nadzwyczajnych, jedynych tulipanów jest ochrzczony 9 maja tego roku w Teatrze Królewskim w Starej Oranżerii Tulipan „Marszałek Józef Piłsudski”. Jest to tulipan z grupy „Triumph”, o pojedynczym kwiecie, mocnej konstrukcji łodygi i liści. Jego kielich, o specjalnym kolorze karminu połączonego z odcieniem fi oletu i różu, na- wiązuje do kolorystyki elementów munduru Marszałka, czyli do aksamitnych wypustek przy kołnierzu o bardzo zbliżonym kolorze. Ten wytworny w kolorze kwiat ma jeden subtelny element. Na dnie kielicha tulipana, po jego rozkwitnięciu, znaj- dziemy złote wypełnienie, które możemy odczytać jako ukryte AZIENEK KRÓLEWSKICH Ł złote serca Marszałka… Od 9 maja 2018 roku pamięć o Marszałku Józefi e Piłsud- skim będzie trwała także w Ogrodzie Łazienek Królewskich, w rokrocznie zakwitającym wspaniałym, majowym tulipanie Jego Imienia.

  • MOHAMMED KAZEM Mohammed Kazem (Born 1969, Dubai) Lives and Works in Dubai
    MOHAMMED KAZEM Mohammed Kazem (born 1969, Dubai) lives and works in Dubai. He has developed an artistic practice that encompasses video, photography and performance to find new ways of apprehending his environment and experiences. The foundations of his work are informed by his training as a musician, and Kazem is deeply engaged with developing processes that can render transient phenomena, such as sound and light, in tangible terms. Often positioning himself within his work, Kazem responds to geographical location, materiality and the elements as a means to assert his subjectivity, particularly in relation to the rapid pace of modernisation in the Emirates since the country’s founding. Kazem was a member of the Emirates Fine Arts Society early in his career and is acknowledged as one of the ‘Five’, an informal group of Emirati artists – including Hassan Sharif and Abdullah Al Saadi – at the vanguard of conceptual and interdisciplinary art practice. In 2012, Kazem completed his Masters in Fine Art at the University of the Arts, Philadelphia. He has been participating in the Annual Exhibitions of the Emirates Fine Arts Society in Sharjah since 1986, as well as numerous editions of Sharjah Biennial, receiving first prize for installations in 1999 and 2003, and in 2007, co-curated the Sharjah Biennial. In recent years, Kazem has participated in several group shows at the Mori Art Museum (2012), Boghossian Foundation (2013), Gwangju Museum of Art (2014), the 2014 edition of the Fotofest Biennial in Houston and Here and Elsewhere at the New Museum (2014). He has exhibited at the Venice Biennale three times: in 2009 as part of a group exhibition curated by Catherine David, in 2013, he represented the UAE with an immersive video installation entitled Walking on Water, which was curated by Reem Fadda, and in 2015, he showcased works from the Tongue series at 1980 – Today: Exhibitions in the UAE, curated by Sheikha Hoor Al Qasimi.

    Fahrelnissa Zeid 1901-1991 by Adila Laïdi-Hanieh, PhD Author of Fahrelnissa Zeid: Painter of Inner Worlds (London: Art/Books Publishing, 2017) INTRODUCTION Fahrelnissa Zeid lived and worked in Turkey, Europe and Jordan but felt that as an artist she belonged “neither to a country, nor to a religion. I was born on this earth. I am made of this matter, and everything that relates to it interests me.”1 Her art and career were like no other. A painter of light and motion, her baroquely expressionist works—both abstract and figurative—demon- strate a rare command of exalted gestures and minute motifs. One of the major artists of the 20th century, her art is made to be best appreci- ated in this hyper connected and globalised age, where her monumental abstract vortexes of colour are accessible to millions and can be zoomed in and out of, mirroring the manner in which she herself was engulfed by them. Her art and her turbulent life, spanning different countries, give her a , 1951, oil on canvas, 205 x 528 205 oil on canvas, Art cm.

She was the first artist from the Middle East to have a prominent and sustained career in several art capitals of the time, including being the first to exhibit in a significant New York commercial gallery in 1949—at the dawn of the Abstract Expressionist boom. She was also the first female artist of any nationality to have a solo exhibition at London’s prestigious modernist Fahrelnissa Zeid (1901-1991).

  • MEDIA RELEASE Singapore Art Museum and Barjeel Art
    MEDIA RELEASE FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Singapore Art Museum and Barjeel Art Foundation present Southeast Asian survey of contemporary Arab art Terms & Conditions provides insight into the diverse contemporary art practice from the dynamic region 25 June 2013, Singapore – The Singapore Art Museum (SAM) is proud to partner Sharjah-based Barjeel Art Foundation to present Terms & Conditions, one of Southeast Asia’s first surveys of contemporary art by artists from the Arab world. The exhibition features key works by artists such as Jananne Al-Ani, Huda Lutfi, Hassan Sharif and Sharif Waked, drawn from the Barjeel Art Foundation, the Abraaj Group Art Prize Collection, Mathaf: Arab Museum of Modern Art, Musée national de l'histoire et des cultures de l'immigration, CNHI Paris, as well as the collections of private individuals and artists. The exhibition features 16 artworks specially selected to introduce audiences in Singapore to contemporary art of the Arab world. Majority of the works were created in the last five years, offering a window to this emerging contemporary art scene and the issues, ideals and challenges that contemporary artists are engaging with today. Terms & Conditions is an open-ended debate about the representation of history, identities and social realities, especially through the works of artists with links to the Arab world. Although history and geography are powerful forces shaping contemporary practice today, the artists in this exhibition grapple also with the challenges of speaking to the world beyond their specific localities, and what it takes to be visible, to communicate one's desires, hopes and fears amidst the push and pull of larger political, economic, and cultural forces – in other words, how one can be visible and have a voice within the terms and conditions of society today.

  • Mohammed Kazem Education Solo Exhibitions
    MOHAMMED KAZEM Mohammed Kazem (born 1969, Dubai) lives and works in Dubai. He has developed an artistic practice that encompasses video, photography and performance to find new ways of apprehending his environment and experiences. The foundations of his work are informed by his training as a musician, and Kazem is deeply engaged with developing processes that can render transient phenomena, such as sound and light, in tangible terms. Often positioning himself within his work, Kazem responds to geographical location, materiality and the elements as a means to assert his subjectivity, particularly in relation to the rapid pace of modernisation in the Emirates since the country’s founding. Kazem was a member of the Emirates Fine Arts Society early in his career and is acknowledged as one of the 'Five', an informal group of Emirati artists – including Hassan Sharif, Abdullah Al Saadi, Mohammed Ahmed Ibrahim and Hussain Sharif – at the vanguard of conceptual and interdisciplinary art practice. In 2012, he completed his Masters in Fine Art at the University of the Arts, Philadelphia. In recent years, he has participated in several group shows such as 21,39 Jeddah Arts (2020), Guggenheim Abu Dhabi (2017), Guggenheim New York (2016), the Yinchuan Biennale (2016), Sharjah Biennial (2015), Gwangju Museum of Art (2014), Fotofest Biennial in Houston (2014), Boghossian Foundation (2013), and Mori Art Museum (2012), amongst others. In 2013 he represented the UAE’s National Pavilion at the Venice Biennale with an immersive video installation entitled Walking on Water, curated by Reem Fadda, and in 2015 he showcased works from the Tongue series at 1980 – Today: Exhibitions in the UAE, curated by Hoor Al Qasimi.
