Diario de un Sidecar

Spotted this two stylish ladies in the Pop Up Shop for ArtShark yesterday in Dar Al Funoon. Ayer tome fotos disimuladamente de estas dos estilosas mujeres árabes en la tienda temporal de la Art Shark exhibition. No me denunciéis que una de ellas es saudita y en concreto sobrina del Rey y encima este es su padrino ¿Adivináis cual?     Me encantaron los trabajos de la artista Kuwaiti socia de Shaznaz Lineiro, la hija de mi querida Fátima.

Tonight opening "Al-Maqama 2014" by Abed Al Kadiri One year ago, after receiving the new limited edition print of the original “Maqamat Al-Hariri” based on the manuscript found in the Bibliothèque Nationale in Paris, the Lebanese artist, Abed AlKadiri, began working on a series of paintings paying homage to Yahya AlWasiti.  These images and videos that recorded the destruction in all its aggressiveness and violence had the exact opposite impact on him than AlWasiti’s illustrations. The act of destroying with its images of falling monuments and rising dust clouds resembles the effect of the charcoal stick as it reacts and moves, falling and rising swiftly upon the surface of the canvas. With one puff everything disappears including the political reality and ideology underpinning the destructive machine decimating the historical and civilizational heritage of our region.

Continuo con mi historia que la primera parte se me hizo muy larga y necesitaba un break. Ya que andabamos culturetas E* me llevó a conocer la ubicación de Americani, la segunda sede de la fundación Dar Al-thar donde esta la colección de arte musulmán y donde los niños hacen sus cursitos los sábados. En los alrededores encontramos dos restaurantes de comida kuwaití (aunque no lo creáis escasa en esta zona) en uno nos dejaron sacar fotos trás prometerles que volveríamos con la familia, en el segundo que era muy curioso no nos dejaron. Tanto a E* como a mi nos resultó curioso el entorno en el que estaba ubicado. Parecía lo que seguro que en un pasado fue la ciudad de Kuwait y pensamos que lo mas probable es lo último que queda del pasado de este país: casas de adobe, suelo adoquinado.... una pena que en un sitio así no hagan nada pensado para el turisteo... En la misma zona recalamos en otra fundación donde en este caso la exposición era fotográfica y el tema era Ru...
