    Iraqi Contemporary Art Influenced by Experiences of War and Exile © 2019 Mutualart Services, Inc

    Iraqi contemporary art influenced by experiences of war and exile © 2019 MutualArt Services, Inc. 7/9/19, 10(27 AM Iraqi contemporary art influenced by experiences of war and exile December 9, 2010 Driven out of war-torn Iraq and dispersed around the globe, Iraqi contemporary artists - struggling to maintain a unique presence from under the umbrella of “Middle Eastern art” - are regrouping in Dubai and exhibiting art that reflects the complex relationships they have with their homeland. Running until April 2011, a four-part show at the Meem Gallery places the work of 12 contemporary Iraqi artists in the spotlight. Many of the artists showcasing at the exhibitions had shows in Iraq during the 1980s onwards, staying in the country during the Iran-Iraq War, the 1991 Gulf War and economic sanctions, while several have only recently left. Their experiences - both in Iraq and in the diaspora - are often reflected in their fascinating work. The exhibition’s curator Dia Al-Azzawi is intimately familiar with the plight https://www.mutualart.com/Article/Iraqi-contemporary-art-influenced-by-exp/0A1E857532D58ACF Page 1 of 7 Iraqi contemporary art influenced by experiences of war and exile 7/9/19, 10(27 AM of these contemporary artists. Often touted as the “pioneer of modern Arab art,” he is also an Iraqi artist in exile. Azzawi fled Iraq in 1976, three years before Saddam Hussein came to power, returning only briefly to curate an exhibition in September 1980. Two days after he landed, Iraqi tanks were deployed into Iran; as hostilities unfurled, Azzawi escaped to London where he has lived ever since.

    Barjeel Art Foundation Collection: Imperfect Chronology – Debating Modernism I 8 September – 6 December 2015 Large print labels and interpretation Gallery 7 1 Barjeel Art Foundation Collection: Imperfect Chronology An exhibition in four parts: 8 Sept 2015 – 8 Jan 2017 Part of the Whitechapel Gallery’s programme opening up rarely seen art collections from around the world, a series of four chronological displays highlights works from the Barjeel Art Foundation’s collection of Arab art. The theme of an ‘imperfect chronology’ is the series’ starting point: how do we narrate the history of Arab art through the lens of one collection? Over 100 works of art by 60 artists from the beginning of the twentieth century to the present day are brought together here to tell this story. The Barjeel Art Foundation is based in the United Arab Emirates and was founded by Sultan Sooud Al Qassemi in 2010. It holds one of the most extensive collections of art from the Arab world and its diaspora – a region that extends across North Africa and southwestern Asia encompassing the 22 countries of the Arab League. (continues on next page) 2 With a population of over 350 million of various ethnic and religious identities, Arabic (in its various dialects) is the dominant language of expression. Barjeel Art Foundation collection: Debating Modernism I 8 September – 6 December 2015 The first display takes an expansive historical approach and explores the emergence and subsequent development of Arab art through drawings and paintings from the early twentieth century to 1967–68, an important historical period in the region, with landmark works by Munira Al-Kazi , Da Azzawi , Inji Efflatoun , Kadhim Hayder and Hamed Ewais .

    Close Encounters with Lebanese Art: Memories, Family and Other Stories Gregory Buchakjian Art from Lebanon

    Close Encounters with Lebanese Art: Memories, family and other stories Gregory Buchakjian Art from Lebanon. Modern and Contemporary Artists, volume 1: 1880-1975 Beirut, Wonderful Editions, 2012 Edited by Nour Salamé and Marie Tomb Pages 308-315 One of my earlier memorable encounters with Lebanese modern art was a visit at the 1982 Salon d’Automne. In the late seventies and early eighties, my parents used to bring me at exhibition openings, but this one was very special. It was special because we had to cross the “Ring” from West Beirut to East Beirut, always a thrilling adventure. It was also special, as the venue was the Sursock Museum, and a museum had something much more exciting than the Ministry of Tourism’s glass hall, the Soviet Cultural Center or the Goethe Institute. It was finally special in its timing, taking place a few months after the Israeli invasion that brought to us the highest level of misery and devastation. Two things remain in my mind from that evening: The illuminated neo-venetian façade and one of the exhibited works. It was a beach view with a fleet of vessels bearing US flags. Any 11 years old boy would have been attracted by such a deployment of power, especially that a multinational force was at these times in Beirut and that we could see, live from our windows, a collection of US, French, British and Italian warships. My dad explained that the painter was depicting events that took place in 1958 (of which I had been totally unaware). In 2009, film director Ghassan Salhab was telling me about a film he was about to release, relating his impressions of what happened in 1958.
