Check out the current exhibition at the stunning Aisha Fahmy Palace in Zamalek.
.
Curated by Ehab Ellaban, 'al-Mash-had' or 'The Scene' showcases works by 30, or maybe more, established Egyptian contemporary artists from George Bahgory, Mostafa Abdel Moaty, Samir Fouad, Mostafa El Razzaz, Farghali Abdel Hafiz, Rabab Nemr, to younger ones like Khaled Zaki, Hazem El Mestikawy, Khaled Hafez, and Sabah Naim. Ranging from paintings, sculptures, and video.
.
The show is on until 14 May 2022 and the Palace, according to my understanding, opens at 9am and closes at 9pm. Not sure about Ramadan Iftar break hours.

دعنى أعيش فى السحر الذى أحبه
فإنى لا أريد أن أعرف ما هى الأشياء
فإن الحياة مع المعرفة لا أستطيع احتمالها
لأن المعرفة شئ لا يعرف إلا فى اللاوعى
لأننا مضطرون إلى المعرفة
ونحن جزء من المعرفة الكلية
ولا نستطيع أن نفصل أنفسنا عن هذه المعرفة

After a meeting at The Museum of Modern Art in Cairo, I discovered that the Inji Efflatoun Museum that used to be housed at the Amir Taz Palace has now moved to the Museum of Modern Art on a temporary basis.
.
Now that it is closer, go and visit.
.
Absolutely stunning works are on display in a separate room dedicated to Efflatoun.
.
Although the lighting needs improvement and the space is small, it's a feast to the eyes.
.
Overall, pay the Museum a visit, now that it's fully functional and all floors opened.
.
Thank you Dr. Iman Nabil, the museum director, for being such a lovely host.
.
P.S. last slide is Inji with her sister, Gulperie.

I am humbled that my book Modern Art in Egypt has been nominated amongst 26 books, then shortlisted among 5 finalists, for the prestigious 2021 Peter Mackenzie Smith Book Prize in London last night.
.
Thank you, Dr. Noel Brehony, chairman of the Judging Committee, for your statement:
"Modern Art is a brilliant book. The author provides an outstanding introduction to Egyptian cultural life and shows how the artists were influenced by political developments of the nationalist and anti-colonialist movements [...].
.
"The judges want to make a special commendation of Modern Art in Egypt as it does much more than the title suggests. In introducing the reader to the Egyptian contribution to modern art, the author has written one of the best introductions to modern art that is available. This is an important, original, well researched, beautifully written, and accessible publication that is likely to be of long-lasting significance."
.
Congratulations to Peter Hessler for winning for his book, Buried: Life, Death, and Revolution in Egypt.
.
Thank you, @lizzyvartanian, former I.B. Tauris commissioning editor for your trust and support throughout the project.
.
I can't wait for Volume II, Modern Art in Egypt: Rupture and Revolution 1936-1973, to be in the market.

An Expressionist painter par excellence, Yousry’s work is noted for its intensity and rawness through the twisted body shapes and the expressive line that characterizes his paintings and drawings. With its distorted lines and extensive show of figurative emotion, his unorthodox art and style go against rigorous academics, mixing linearity and subtlety. Some may describe Yousry’s work as monstrous, frightening, with a concentration on nudity, revelation, and deformation, if not ugliness. Yoursy celebrates “Le laid est beau,”
[The Ugly is Beautiful].

Salam Yousry's mentally charged creations and captivating canvases embrace figural deformation and a strong rejection of traditional beauty criteria. Freed of the formal academic limitations, Yousry investigates not just the human figure but also human interactions, experiences, and sensuality.

Where were you in 1982?
.
I was in France with my parents and sister. My late dad الله يرحمه was posted as a diplomat. One particular incident. One mean French teacher asked me to never again write in Arabic on my papers in front of the whole class. I was a kid. And devastated.
.
Digging deep into the past is oftentimes no easy feast. Try and share with us.
.
@salamyousry will reveal his whereabouts on March 15, 2022, for his first solo show at ArtTalks | Egypt.

Stay tuned.

How hard is it to dig into our past? To really dig deep into memory lane? Many moments and people will instantly pop up. Maybe a best friend. The first day at school. Someone you fell in love with.
.
But what about those moments that were buried by our subconscious and thought forgotten? The burial of a loved one, perhaps. And what about the details of our childhood? How did your bedroom look like? What was the name of your bawab?
.
Presenting FORTY by Salam Yousry - a personal unravelling of a past: the cherished, the remembered, and the forgotten.
.
We can't wait! Join us on March 15.

Launching the First Edition of the Grand Merit Award
The Farouk Hosny Foundation for Culture and Arts announces the unanimous approval of its Board of Trustees on the nomination of the renowned Egyptian Fine Artist, George Bahgory, for the first edition of the foundation’s Grand Merit Award for the year 2022, with a value of LE.100,000.
Distinguished Author Mohamed Salmawy, Secretary-General of the Grand Merit Award and a member of the foundation's Board of Trustees, stated that the Grand Merit Award is distinct from the other foundation’s Art Awards as it will be granted to eminent Egyptian figures in honor of their great achievements in the fields of Art including visual arts, literature and music, and their outstanding contributions in enriching Egypt’s cultural arena. Therefore, unlike the other awards that are granted to young artists, the Grand Merit Award is presented to leading figures in their fields as a tribute and praise to their notable achievements.
In his statement of the reasons for the nomination of Bahgoury for the award, Salmawy explained that George Bahgoury is a genuine Egyptian artist who painted hundreds – or even thousands – of paintings throughout a lifetime spanning nearly a century. He stated that Bahgoury's paintings depict the Egyptian reality and embody many prominent Egyptian symbols, in addition to being praised in Egypt and abroad, especially in France, where Bahgoury lived for years.
Bahgoury will be awarded at the foundation's Third Round of the Art Awards Ceremony for the Year 2022 on March 7, 2022, at El-Gezira Arts Center in Zamalek, under the auspices of the Ministry of Culture.
.
Congratulations, George! Very well deserved.
