| Summary: | Influenced by her experiences of war and migration, Simone Fattal has transcended the boundaries of both media and geography like few other artists of her generation. In her collages, she combines pieces from her private archive with historical events in the Arab world. Made up of individual parts and reassembled, these works suggest the fragility of an identity shaped by migration. Her more abstract ceramic sculptures reference ancient myths and archaeological finds. Fattal?s first solo exhibition in Germany is accompanied by the artist?s first comprehensive monograph, which combines essays by long-time companions with new scholarly contributions by international authors. 0//0Geprägt von ihren Erfahrungen von Krieg und Migration hat Simone Fattal wie kaum eine andere Künstlerin ihrer Generation sowohl mediale wie auch geografische Grenzen überwunden. In Collagen verbindet sie Erinnerungsstücke aus ihrem Privatarchiv mit historischen Einschnitten in der arabischen Welt. Aus Einzelteilen bestehend und neu zusammengesetzt suggerieren diese Arbeiten das Brüchige einer von Migration geprägten Identität. Ihre eher abstrakten Keramikskulpturen referieren auf antike Mythen und archäologische Funde. Begleitend zur ersten Einzelausstellung der Künstlerin in Deutschland im Frankfurter Portikus erscheint die erste umfangreiche Monografie Fattals, die Essays von langjährigen Lebensgefährt*innen mit neuen wissenschaftlichen Beiträgen von internationalen Autor*innen vereint.00Exhibition: Portikus, Frankfurt am Main, Germany (24.06. - 24.09.2023). |
