Art from Syria: A Journey through Half a Century of Creativity

A breathtaking tour across fifty years of Syrian art, as represented by the work of a number of accomplished painters from Syria, starting with Louay Kayali and ending with Sara Shamma. The aesthetic experience of beauty: colors, shapes, images, fantasies and visions conceived by these artists are presented by their various mediums of expression, allusion, or abstraction. This exhibition was organized in collaboration with the Embassy of the Syrian Arab Republic.

Christina McPhee: Carrizo-Parkfield Diaries

The Diaries meditate and mediate on the indissoluble link between our perceptions of the invisible landscape of data and our own psychic space, particularly as it is transformed during moments of traumatic memory, when the shock of recall is both vivid and fleeting. Organized by Sara Tecchia Roma New York.
