‘Still Departures’ exhibition: The Sultan Gallery will hold an exhibition titled ‘Still Departures’ by artist George Awde. The exhibition opens on Dec 6 and continues through Jan 5.
George Awde’s first solo exhibition in Kuwait, chronicles the transitory existence of a group of young men and boys — many of them migrant laborers, emigrants from Syria and Syrian Kurdistan living in the context of Beirut from 20072016. This exhibition considers the embodiment of becoming men, while also appreciating issues of mobility and nationality as we each etch out our place in this world.
Awde’s photographs question the relationship between citizenship, masculinity, and the sense of belonging to a place — as well as to one’s own body. The work explores the scars of the flesh with those of the soil. As these men grow and change, the photographs capture physical marks — in the form of tattoos and cuts — giving hints of struggle and survival. The shape, role, and uses of the body change as these boys age — filling out — becoming men. Parallel to changing borders of manhood are those of physical mobility which widen, contract, and close in terrains of the changing geopolitical climate. The landscape allows us to consider our states of belonging, not just as a metonym, but a portrait of Beirut’s physical terrain in which these processes occur on/through/in the bodies of individuals.
Exhibition dates: Opening: Tuesday, Dec 6, 2016; 7 - 9 pm; Dec 7 - Jan 5, 2017; 10 am - 4 pm.
‘Existence of Infinity’ exhibition: Dar Al Funoon announces an exhibition by Jean Marc Dallanegra “The Existence of Infinity”. The exhibition opens on Monday, Dec 5 at 7 pm in the presence of the artist. It continues through Dec 19, 2016.
After crossing the Sahara from north to south, walking for hours and days and with a mind as barren as the desert he traversed, Jean Marc Dallanegra had a sudden and intense sensation of the energy of the Earth. It was at this moment that he wanted to resonate that which appears to be empty; a journey from one place to another — where the road, the ground and the sky draw you in to the point of destination where everything conjoins at the horizon to become reality. As he says, “What pleases me most is the existence of infinity.”
Jean Marc Dallanegra comes from a family of Italian artists: They moved to France in 1985. After his studies, he travelled extensively in the Sahara and along the west coast of the USA. Since 1994, Dallanegra has shown his work at numerous exhibitions in Europe, Lebanon and now, for the first time in Kuwait. Gallery hours: Sunday to Thursday: 10 am - 1 pm & 4-8 pm. Saturday: by appointment. Getting to the gallery: AlWatiah, Behbehani Compound, House No 28. For further information call 22433183.
