Lining the Greek Pavilion in Venice―both inside and outside―with installations, images, In the environment they create, there is an constant transposition occurring from grand narratives to personal stories. The unknown (or less known) details of history emerge, subverting Mr. Stigl, who lends his name to the title of the Greek Pavilion exhibition, is a historical paradox, a constructive misunderstanding, a fantastical hero of an unknown story whose poetics take us to a space of doubt, paraphrased sounds, and nonsensical identities and histories. What does history rewrite and what does it conceal? The voices introduced by Panos Charalambous reach us through the rich collection of vinyl records he has accumulated since the 1980s. By combining installations with sonic performances, Charalambous brings forward voices that have been forgotten or silenced, recomposing their orality through an idiosyncratic play of vinyl using eagle’s claws, rose thorns, and agave leaves. His new work An Eagle Was Standing drinking glasses upon which an ecstatic, “ultrasonic” dance is performed—a vortex of deep listening.

Y FOR RELEASE: MONDAY, TELEPHONE: CIRCLE 5-8900 March 29, 19Si No. 32 MUSEUM OF MODERN ART BUYS EXHIBITION PAVILION IN VENICE William A.M. Burden, President of the Museum of Modern Art, announced today that the Museum has bought the pavilion used for showing modern American art at the Intel-national Art Biennale Exhibitions in Venice, The pavilion, formerly owned by the Grand Central Art Galleries of New York, is the only privately-owned exhibition hall at the famous international art show. The other pavilions are owned by more that 20 governments which officially sponsor exhibitions of contemporary art from their own countries at the Biennale, The Museum of Modern Art has bought the building, Mr* Burden said, in order to insure the continuous representation of art from this country at these famous inter­ national exhibitions which have been held every two years since 1892 except for the war period* The Venice Biennale is sponsored by the Italian government in order "to bring together some of the most noteworthy and significant examples of con­ temporary Italian and foreign art" according to the official prospectus, To present as broad a representation of American art as possible the Museum of Modern Art will ask other leading institutions in this country to co-operate in organizing future exhibitions. The exhibition hall in Venice was purchased to implement the Museum's Inter­ national Exhibitions Program, made possible by a grant to the Museum last year from the Rockefeller Brothers Fund.

It is a feeling of pride and honor, and at the same time a feeling of gratitude and appreciation to- ward the pioneers who created modern Egyptian heritage. One of them is Saroukhan, the Egyp- tian artist of Armenian origin who represents a landmark in modern Egyptian caricature art that was the result of the Egyptian democratic move- ments in times of war, invasions, feudalism and political, social and cultural vitality. The BA Arts Center is grateful to the great artist’s family for their lending the BA these wonderful masterpieces, and grateful to the artists Mustafa El-Razzaz and Hrant Keshishian for their follow- ing-up and choosing from the works of this great artist’s heritage. We also appreciate the role of the Armenian General Benevolent Union in establish- ing this historical exhibition, which we hope to be a new start towards documenting the works of this artist and introducing him to the Egyptian generations of youth. Maestro Sherif Mohie Eldin Director of BA Arts Center The catalogue is prepared and texts written by: Hrant Keshishian Photography: Viken Varjabedian Translation of Arabic texts to English: Rita Yemenidjian Catalogue Design: Laura Kassabian Editing: Rita Yemenidjian Publisher: Cairo Armenian General Benevolent Union Printing: Nubar Printing House - Shubra - Cairo 4 3 6 5 In his memoirs, he referred to his fellowship with the caricature pioneer Abdel Moneim Rakha The Great Saroukhan in “Akhbar El-Yom” paper and his creation of the character of “El Masri Efendi”, which represented the conscience of the cynical helpless Egyptian citizen.

  • The Iraqi National Museum of Modern Art: Journey of Destruction
    The Iraqi National Museum of Modern Art: Journey of Destruction By Ali I. al-Dulaimi Region: Middle East & North Africa Global Research, May 22, 2019 Theme: History In-depth Report: IRAQ REPORT A glimpse of the plastic arts in Iraq The contemporary Iraqi plastic art is considered to be the legitimate heir of the ancient Iraqi civilizations of Sumer and Babylon. Relics have beem found indicating that the Iraqi craftsman is the first artist in the world. He is the one who creates and produces such beautiful household pottery pieces for functional purposes for eating, drinking and other daily uses. The Baghdad School of Art of Illustration was founded by Iraqi artist Yahya bin Mahmoud bin Yahya bin Abi al-Hassan al-Wasiti who laid down its pillars. Al-Wasiti lived in the seventh Hijri century and is considered to be at the forefront of Arab and Islamic creativity scene where the Islamic art of illustration could be straightened and become competitive. Then this School spread from Mesopotamia to all other Islamic countries. Al-Wasiti inspired others with his miniature manuscripts on which he painted topics and narrative facts from the collections of al-Hariri which were written by Abu Muhammad al-Qasim bin Ali bin Othman al-Basri, famous as “al-Hariri”. These collections are considered to be among the Arabic literary masterpieces due to their richness of material, accuracy of observation and unique imagination. Artist al-Wasiti completed illustrating and scripting these collections in 634 A.H./1237 A.D., and they are now treasured at several international museums and libraries.

Thinking of how to draw a picture of the region makes me think of Francesco Goya's new work, especially if he was alive today. Perhaps this could be a conventional observation when you think of the Arab homeland; it's constantly a broad graphic representation, but I would argue that we could undoubtedly imagine this starting point by thinking alternatively about it.
