Queer Masculinities and Spaces of Intimacy in the Work of Anwar Saeed
Queer Masculinities and Spaces of Intimacy in the Work of Anwar Saeed Noor Alainah Asif A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Art University of Washington 2019 Committee: Sonal Khullar Adair Rounthwaite Christian Novetzke Program Authorized to Offer Degree: Art History ©Copyright 2019 Noor Alainah Asif University of Washington Abstract Queer Masculinities and Spaces of Intimacy in the Work of Anwar Saeed Noor Alainah Asif Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Sonal Khullar Department of Art History The bodies of same-sex loving men and women have been subject to state-sponsored oppression, censorship, and brutalities since Pakistan’s inception. These violences have been increasingly aggravated since the 1980s. This paper examines the work of contemporary Pakistani artist Anwar Saeed. In his paintings, Saeed interrogates conflictual intersections between sexuality, religion, love, violence, and the nation-state through representations of queer male bodies. By way of his references to sexuality and queerness, Saeed forges artistic intimacies between his practice, other Pakistani artists, and local religious and cultural histories. This paper suggests that Saeed's practice, then, works within the parameters of the Pakistani nation-state as a means of working against it. This is to say that Saeed’s work has developed through the subversive concept of disidentification, as informed by queer theorist José Esteban Muñoz. Keeping in mind the theory’s US based context, this paper seeks to consider disidentifications in the context of Saeed's practice; an analysis of this kind can possibly create an opening for a cross-border analysis of the effects of power on gender, sexuality, and queerness that departs from generalizing, Eurocentric accounts of inequality, patriarchy, and oppression.

Sweeping Back the Sea New Contemporary Art from Pakistan Curated by Adeela Suleman
Sweeping Back the Sea New Contemporary Art from Pakistan Curated by Adeela Suleman Exhibition August 2nd – September 8th, 2018 Press Preview & Opening Reception: Thursday, August 2nd, 6:00pm – 8:00pm 35 Great Jones St., New York NY 10012 Aicon Gallery is pleased to present Sweeping Back the Sea | New Contemporary Art from Pakistan, a group exhibition featuring the work of Zainab Abdulhussain, Maryam Arslan, Mujtaba Asif, Affan Baghpati, Emaan Mahmud, Hira Khan, Muhammad Muzammil Khan, Suleman Aqeel Khilji, Seher Naveed, Seema Nusrat, Razin Rubin, Veera Rustomji, Omer Wasim and Saira Sheikh, and Mohsin Shafi. Curated by Adeela Suleman, the exhibition looks at how a new generation of Pakistani artists continues to address the ongoing sociopolitical conflicts facing the nation, while having moved almost completely beyond the neo- miniaturist visual modes of the past two decades. The exhibition’s title is inspired by the sublime video works of Omer Wasim and Saira Sheikh, the latter having tragically passed away in 2017 after battling cancer. It also stands in as a reference for many of Omer Wasim and Saira Sheikh., MVI_1948 (From Optics of Labor), 2016, Single-channel HD video, 25:10 min. the ongoing problems facing Pakistan, such as its perpetual struggle against extremism, which manifests itself in wave after wave of violence, and its ongoing societal tug of war between the proponents of secular democracy and those of religious conservatism. These continuing dualities and contradictions have, of course, made their way into the arts at all levels ever since the forming of the nation in 1947. However, it is important to continue exploring how each new generation of artists seem to grapple with these long-standing issues, as technology and globalism march forward, new rifts open as old ones are drawn together, and the horrors of partition and war retreat from living memory into stories from the past, only to be replaced by new modes of violence, conflict, and political instability.

In Review | A brief history of form and meaning in Pakistani art PRINT Santhal Maidens, ca. 1950s, oil, by Zainul Abedin | Jalaluddin Ahmed, Art in Pakistan (Third Edition 1964) his essay must start with a qualification: it offers only a selective overview of Tdevelopments in modern and contemporary art in Pakistan. Here, the term ‘modern’ is used for the art produced between the middle of the 20th century and the beginning of 1990s; after that ‘contemporary’ art comes into vogue. Modernism largely avoids engagement with the immediate and the present. Rather than focusing on specific social circumstances or engaging with current events, modern art offers metaphoric and transcendent alternatives to the real world. Its materials and mediums seek permanence. By contrast, contemporary art is immersed in the immediate and the present. Unlike modernism, it offers no transcendence but instead engages with existing conditions. It is often ‘post-medium’ as ‘contemporary’ artists usually employ diverse 1 of 24 9/14/17, 10:23 PM A brief history of form and meaning in Pakistani art - In Review - ... https://herald.dawn.com/news/1153861/a-brief-history-of-form-an... materials and techniques that include ephemeral and time-based mediums.

The Asia Society exhibition Hanging Fire: Contemporary Art from Pakistan explores this seeming contradiction. The first major U.S. museum survey exhibition devoted to contemporary art from Pakistan, Hanging Fire examines the complex combination of influences informing contemporary artists in the country’s urban centers of Karachi and Lahore. Born as a nation in 1947 through partition of the Indian subcontinent, during which time millions were killed and displaced, Pakistan has a rich and syncretic cultural history. It is the site of the Indus Valley civilization, one of the world’s oldest, as well as of important Buddhist centers in the second Zahoor ul Akhlaq.
