for November 2015

 

Artist: Taha Hussein  

When: 25th  October – 7th December2015

Address: 8, Champollion St. Downtown

Details: Drawing on a great and rich repository of years lived.  A successful symbiosis of overview and proximity; both leave their traces in his oeuvre. The overarching imagistic world and the place of their origin fade into one another. The curtain behind the dining table and the view from the window which is veiled by closed curtains. An underlying ambient hum, known for years, hardly perceived anymore. In this manner, the ambience, the place of creation take hold in the greater imagistic contexts which are thus imbued with all the more authenticity, since, while they originate here, they point much further – to the realm of great art.

 

ArtTalks

Artist: Maged Mekhail  “Many Rivers To Cross”

When: 12th October – 15th November 2015
