SUMMARY:Surreality and Possession in the Modern Art of the Arab East
DESCRIPTION:\nCALIFORNIA\n\nSurreality and Possession in the Modern Art of 
 the Arab East\n\n 5 - 7 p.m.\n\nStephens Hall 340\, UC Berkeley\nSponsor:C
 enter for Middle Eastern Studies\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFeatured Speaker:Prof. Annek
 a Lenssen\, Department of Art History\, UC Berkeley\n\n\nThis talk explore
 s 'Arab Surrealist' ideas and images from the period 1945-53: work by arti
 sts and intellectuals in Egypt\, Lebanon\, and Syria who conceived of the 
 artist's medium as living and shape-shifting material rather than an inani
 mate means to make a picture on a surface. Lenssen draws on an archive of 
 sketches\, critical writings\, and artist letters to highlight how figures
  such as Bishr Fares\, Saloua Raouda Choucair\, Mounir Canaan\, and Fateh 
 al-Moudarres sought to preserve the openness of visual form to possession 
 by other\, non-visual entities such as music\, atomic energy\, and the spi
 rit. At issue in these investigations of surreality was the very nature of
  sovereign creation in the Arab East\, past and future.\n\n
