The body in Arab art
Mouvement decompose, Mehdi-George Lahlou
An exhibition at the Institut du Monde Arabe is exploring the body in Arab art. Notes curator Hoda Makram-Ebeid, "We want this show to break down clichés concerning the Arab world, but we're not looking for controversy. The artists on show are of all ages, from all over the world. The immense variety and multiplicity of the work demonstrates that it is impossible to lump together 'Arabic artists' or Arab art. They're looking at a problematic – that of the body – which interests everyone today and their work is relevant to people of all different backgrounds." Learn more here.
