Lalla Essaydi: Les Femmes de Maroc
Lalla Essaydi is poised at the intersection of two cultures.

Category: New Brunswick Art Museum in New Jersey

Description of this New Brunswick Attraction: Born in Morocco into a conservative Muslim family and educated in Europe and the United States, Lalla Essaydi is poised at the intersection of two cultures. She is one of several contemporary Islamic women artists whose subjects are informed by feminist perspectives and personal experience. Her work has garnered increasing acclaim in Europe and America; in 2011 she will be the subject of a mid-career survey at the North Carolina Museum of Art. Lalla Essaydi: Les Femmes de Maroc comprises 17 large scale photographs selected from the artist’s most recent series. The title of the series, Les Femmes de Maroc,is adapted from Eugene Delacroix’s iconic painting, Les Femmes d’Algiers of 1834. The painting by Delacroix, while based on his actual travels in North Africa, is a fictive vision of languorous women in an opulent harem. Paintings like these, which coincided with the nineteenth-century European occupation of much of the Arab world, fostered a view of the Middle East as a sensual paradise of sexually available women, rich colors and exotic tastes. Essaydi takes these Orientalist paintings of the nineteenth and early twentieth century as a point of departure for her own de-colonializing enterprise. She drains the paintings of color, removes all male figures, drapes the women and all surfaces in white fabric, and sets everything within a shallow stage-like space. All visible surfaces—backdrops, floor, drapery, skin-- are inscribed with Arabic calligraphy. These texts are subversive on several levels. In Islamic cultures calligraphy is a male art form, used primarily to transcribe the Q’uran and other sacred literature, however, in Essaydi’s work, the texts – musings on personal freedom, cultural and individual identity, memory and communication taken from her personal journals -- are applied with henna, a tradition associated with women. Her transformations of the original paintings reverberate with the historical past while revealing the colonial and gendered perspectives of historic and contemporary Orientalism. Organized by Nick Capasso, Senior Curator, DeCordova Sculpture Park + Museum, Lincoln, Massachusetts Coordinated by Donna Gustafson, Liaison for the Mellon Program and Assistant Curator of American Art, Zimmerli Art Museum

Poet Seva Nekrasov and Artists of Unofficial Moscow
Seva’s Blue Horizon

Category: New Brunswick Art Museum in New Jersey

Description of this New Brunswick Attraction: Seva (Vsevolod) Nekrasov (1934-2009) was the youngest and probably the most talented of the generation of poets and artists grouped around Lianozovo – one of the earliest and most important centers for underground culture in the Soviet Union. His entire life was closely connected with the arts and the artists of “unofficial Moscow,” and his poetry often reflected upon the visual works of his friends. And vice versa, artists found inspiration in his poetry, and produced works clearly based on his verses . This exhibition, entitled Seva’s Blue Horizon (which is a rough translation of an anagram: Sevina Sineva) commemorates through poetry and art the entire generation of early Soviet underground culture that is now vanishing by the day.
