Hakim: Born Among Mirrors
May 14 - June 25, 2010 This exhibition showcases photographs of Lebanon taken 50 years apart. His father Elias Hakim's B&W photos document the young Hakim family's emigration from Lebanon to the US in 1956. Najib’s color photos explore the country upon his return in 2006 after the latest war with Israel. In his words “These photographs are not just images of a homecoming, but a heartfelt exploration of a people and a place, determined to exist.” |
PAST EXHIBITIONS
September 2010
September means Autumn to me, despite the fact of 90° days and hurricane predictions. Here at the Gallery we are kicking off Fall with two very different exhibitions that have in common the concept of memories, of having to flee and finding a new place to live and work. This experience resonates with our Arab-American audience, as it does with so many immigrants. Our two featured artists are both non-Arabs who fled to live in the Middle East, one recently from Iraq to Syria, and subsequently to the U.S., the other an Armenian boy who fled to Palestine and documented his new home with exquisite pictures of Jerusalem.
Our September show features exiled Iraqi artist Ahmad AlKarkhi, who paints his “Memories Revisited” of a Baghdad he was forced to flee with the hot colors and expressionistic brushstrokes of someone trying to seal the memories in paint. Multi-layered images of buildings and passageways take the viewer on a journey through the mists of remembrances already fading with time.
In October, memories of Palestine are captured in the black and white photography of the late Elia Kahvedjian, “The Eye Behind the Camera,” whose rare silver print images from his Jerusalem photo studio date from the 1920’s. Much of what he photographed of his new homeland exists now only in those shining images and the mind’s eye of those who were there.
