Very soon, the parallel between the ř — performances realized by Hassan Sharif in the desert of Hatta and the actions of Ji í Kovanda in Prague became clear; this proximity between the two universes questioned howř art has simultaneously grown up at the fringes and at the center and so emphasized the way we look at and legitimate an artistic practice. If Hassan Sharif and Ji í Kovanda were aware of some influences, their geopolitical context has given to their work itsř peculiarity. We later discovered that the parallel has already been drawn by Paulina Kolczynska in a text entitled 'A Tale from the World of Parallel Thinking' highlighting the formal and conceptual interplays between the two artists. Be it in Prague or Dubai, they both turn their immediate environments into field experiments. The absence of audience in their performances (invisible gestures amongst the anonymous crowd by Ji í Kovanda and solitary walks in the desert by Hassan Sharif) does not have the same origin butř reveals a certain fragility. They both take the measure of their space, be it public or private, often urban, in order to redefine their world and position their work.

    Paths to the World, Paths Home (Print Version)

    Universes in Universe / Nafas Art Magazine / Paths to the World, Paths Home Paths to the World, Paths Home Hassan Sharif: Semi-System Drawings and Performance Art, 1979-1985 By Paulina Kolczynska It began around 1981 when Hassan Sharif, a young fine arts student from Dubai, completed his foundation courses at the Warwick College and joined The Byam Shaw School of Art. From the beginning, Hassan expressed great interest in experimenting in art and showed heightened sensitivity and understanding of the avant-garde strategies and concepts that permutated the art community at that time. Once becoming acquainted with Kenneth Martin’s (1905-1984) Chance and Order theory, Sharif very quickly adopted it in his independent experimentations in drawings and Performance Art. The philosophical base for his art was, therefore, grounded in the British Constructivist movement, which focused strictly on inventing new means of generating forms. It is important to understand that Kenneth Martin, as the leading theorist of British Constructivism, devoted his life to defining the relationship between movement and construction as a means of generating a variety of sculptural structures. Martin’s most prominent student, Peter Lowe, also a sculptor, defined the scope of the research by focusing on the order of forms. These were also the times when Constructivism / Post-Constructivism was functioning rather as a component or an undercurrent of much larger and complex movement called Fluxus ("flow"). Fluxus, although having its origins in New York in the 1960’s, trickled down to Europe and Japan over the years and remained a vital framework for many artists for a period of at least two decades , in the 70’s and 80’s specifically.

We present a taxonomy of enhanced stylus input techniques and consider a number of novel possibilities that combine motion sensors with pen stroke and touchscreen inputs on a pen + touch slate.

Now in its third year, the Gallery’s alternative art platform “MinD” (Made in Dubai) aims to function as a barometer, reflecting the state and mood of art in the UAE. The initiative serves to advance the cultural dialogue in the UAE, to provoke public interest, input and debate around new artistic developments, encouraging fresh thinking and new ways of viewing and appreciating contemporary art. “MinD” is part of our ongoing initiative to provide a platform for UAE-based artists, in order to build a dynamic and vital foundation for visual arts in the Emirates. On behalf of the team at DUCTAC we would like to express our sincere gratitude to Mohammed Kazem, a leading figure in the development of contemporary art in the UAE, for his vision, discernment and dedication in curating this exhibition. We would also like to offer special thanks to the co-editor of this catalogue Cristiana de Marchi, for her insightful observations and words, and to Corrina Mehiel and Lujin Yoon for their contributions to both the catalogue and to the exhibition as a whole.
  • How Did the Bible Get Chapters and Verses?

    How Did the Bible Get Chapters and Verses?

    How did the Bible get chapters and verses? 1. What were the writing materials available for ancient texts? Papyrus Because of its abundance in Egypt, papyrus was used as a writing surface as early as 3100 BC and for 4000 years following. It is believed that the original biblical autographs were written on papyrus although later Jewish scribes (Mishnah, Meg 2:2) prohibited its use for parchment when writing sacred texts. The method of making papyrus has not changed in the thousands of years it has been used. The process starts with the removal of the papyrus reed skin to expose the inner pith, which was beaten and dried. It is then laid lengthwise, with subsequent layers cross-laid for strength and durability, and glued with a plant derivative. The final process involved the stretching and smoothing of the papyrus in preparation for its use. The average papyrus “page” was 22 cm wide and 29-33 cm (up to 47cm) long. A papyrus scroll was usually made of 20 “pages” averaging a total length of 4.5 meters. The writing instrument was a kalamos , a pen fashioned from a reed with the tip chewed to form a brush. Often several kalamos were kept for varying brush widths and ink colors. Clay Clay tablets were used as far back as 3000 BC, and scholars have yet to decipher a vast quantity now in possession. Using clean, washed, smooth clay, scribes used a stylus to imprint wedge-shaped letters called cuneiform . The tablets, made in various shapes such as cone-shaped or flat, were sun dried or kiln fired.

    For Immediate Release 6 January 2020 Second Lahore Biennale: between the sun and the moon Curated by Hoor Al Qasimi Features 20+ New Commissions and Work by More Than 70 International Artists Installed Across Cultural and Heritage Sites Throughout Lahore, Pakistan, from 26 January to 29 February 2020 Lahore, Pakistan—6 January 2020—The Lahore Biennale Foundation today revealed a list of over 70 participating artists for the second edition of the Lahore Biennale (LB02), running from 26 January through 29 February 2020. Curated by Hoor Al Qasimi, Director of the Sharjah Art Foundation in Sharjah, United Arab Emirates, LB02: between the sun and the moon brings a plethora of artistic projects to cultural and heritage sites throughout the city of Lahore including more than 20 new commissions by artists from across the region and around the world, including Alia Farid, Diana Al-Hadid, Hassan Hajjaj, Haroon Mirza, Hajra Waheed and Simone Fattal, among many others. Other participating artists include Anwar Saeed, Rasheed Araeen and the late Madiha Aijaz. With a focus on the Global South, where ongoing social disaffection is being aggravated by climate change, LB02 responds to the cultural and ecological history of Lahore and aims to awaken awareness of humanity’s daunting contemporary predicament. Works presented in LB02 will explore human entanglement with the environment while revisiting traditional understandings of the self and their cosmological underpinnings. Inspiration for this thematic focus is drawn from intellectual and cultural exchange between South and West Asia. “For centuries, inhabitants of these regions oriented themselves with reference to the sun, the moon, and the constellations.
