About FINE ART



ABOUT ME AS ANARTIST
Khader Oshah titled his series of portraits Muallaqat (after the poetry scrolls hung on the walls of the Kaaba in Mecca). Portraits of uprooted members of his family and self-portraits are set against the backdrop of Muslim ornaments and poems by the greatest Arab poets: Mahmoud Darwish, Ahmad Matar, and others. The texts talk about loyalty to Arab identity and culture, and at the same time criticize it. The writing on leather, like canonical-traditional writing on parchment, is an act of yearning and perpetuation of the beloved poets and family members scattered in Gaza, the West Bank, Jordan, and Sinai.

You and I Are one and two If you kill We were both torn in two You and I Are one and two Both our hearts Beat as one, dear And you ooohh... But is it okay Is it okay If I run away It is okay When your love has faded away If I hold you tight and never let go If I hold you tight and never let show The way I feel All around me I know it's you You and I Are hopeless too If I give you all my heart could And I'm true (I need you) All my life I waited for And there's nothing left No other's no one else Here to live for Anymore But is it okay Is it okay If I I can escape In good faith Will need just one more longer Day Aaaah... Aaaah... Aaaah.... If I hold you tight and never let go If I hold you tight and never let show The way God moves deep inside of me I swear it's you If I hold you tight and never let go If I hold you tight and never let go If I hold you tight and never let go If I hold you in my arms Forever All around me All around me And I swear it's you..

3/31/2007 6:49 AM dear friends You will like this story which is a great surprise for me in this modern day world. A man and his girlfriend were married. It was a large celebration. All of their friends and family came to see the lovely ceremony and to partake of the festivities and celebrations. A wonderful time was had by all. The bride was gorgeous in her white wedding gown and the groom was very dashing in his black tuxedo. Everyone could tell that the love they had for each other was true. A few months later, the wife comes to the husband with a proposal: "I read in a magazine, a while ago, about how we can strengthen our marriage." she offered. "Each of us will write a list of the things that we find a bit annoying with the other person. Then, we can talk about how we can fix them together and make our lives happier together." The husband agreed, so each of them went to a separate room in the house and thought of the things that annoyed them about the other. They thought about this question for the rest of the day and wrote down what they came up with. The next morning, at the breakfast table, they decided that they would go over their lists. "I'll start," offered the wife. She took out her list. It had many items on it enough to fill 3 pages, in fact. As she started reading the list of the little annoyances, she noticed that tears were starting to appear in her husbands eyes. "What's wrong?" she asked. "Nothing" the husband replied, "keep reading your lists." The wife continued to read until she had read all three pages to her husband. She neatly placed her list on the table and folded her hands over top of it. "Now, you read your list and then we'll talk about the things on both of our lists." She said happily. Quietly the husband stated, "I don't have anything on my list. I think that you are perfect the way that you are. I don't want you to change anything for me. You are lovely and wonderful and I wouldn't want to try and change anything about you." The wife, touched by his honesty and the depth of his love for her and his acceptance of her, turned her head and wept. In life, there are enough times when we are disappointed, depressed and annoyed. We don't really have to go looking for them. We have a wonderful world that is full of beauty, light and promise.

ABOUT THE EXHIBITION
See Not / Fear Not Moran Shoub - Curator Foreword "See Not / Fear Not" brings together various images and photographs striving to document true moments of callousness, harassment, and humiliation. Akin to warning signs, however, they cannot bring the story of the individual at any given time and place across the terrible checkpoint which confronts these with those, generating a vast, erupting charge of suffocation, abuse, hatred, and desire for revenge. Curator Moran Shoub sets out to highlight the great urgency in immediate involvement, intervention, and display of moral responsibility vis-?-vis the screaming indifference that has taken over the majority of the Israeli public toward the occurrences on the other side of the border. The show's power lies in its very presentation and in its ability to confront, embarrass, and make the public face the invisible, unidentified other; to cause the viewer to engage in a strange and unfamiliar dialogue with the other's suffering, pain, and wound, thereby realizing that pain and suffering are also the lot of others. The significance of the exhibition lies in presenting the inhuman experience and political force that strikes mercilessly and with incessant, unrestrained intensivity, offending the dignity, property, body, and freedom of the weak and defenseless other, rendering him hopeless and forlorn. Nevertheless, that other is determined to survive and to take revenge for the destruction of his life and future. The exhibition echoes the voice of the Palestinian mother helplessly facing her children and family. It voices the father's desperate plea to cross the checkpoint in order to make a living or receive medical treatment; it brings the cry of the aged and young children wherever they may be. "See Not / Fear Not" echoes the collective's determination to continue rebelling against the various roadblock forms which cut people off, divide places of residence, and generate concrete walls of obtuseness and hatred. It is a decision stemming from the belief that the future will bear new tidings of hope, freedom, self-realization and national fulfillment. Said Abu Shaqra Gallery Director See Not / Fear Not The references below refer the reader to the checkpoints (Hawara, Kalandiya, A-Ram, Abu Dis, and others)1 rather than to further reading. Go to the checkpoints. See for yourselves. Here in the exhibition you will not see. We do not see because we do not witness the human suffering directly, but rather experience it through the media. We do not see the suffering because we have become accustomed to images and indifference. We do not see because we choose not to take moral responsibility The exhibition tells the story of the current reality: the nightmarish existential state of people under siege, whose fate is controlled by others. All the works in the exhibition are attributed to this reality, some concretely, others - symbolically-metaphorically. Each of the works incorporates the theme of "absent-present" or "present-transparent" in an existential, moral, and aesthetic sense: as the response to an ostensibly faceless group of people, as a reaction to the prevalent preference not to see, and as the outcome of art which is faithful to its place. In her book Regarding the Pain of Others,2 Susan Sontag analyzes the discrepancy between the horrors of war and its news representation: in press photographs, on television, and on the computer screen. Such observation, from afar, renders the war generic, and the victims - anonymous, nameless. The viewer's compassion becomes abstract, insubstantial. Until you recognize and identify someone specific, it won't really affect you. Identity/identification is the essence of it all. The title of the current exhibition, "See Not / Fear Not," also corresponds with the title of the exhibition "Everything Could Be Seen" curated by Ariella Azoulay in 2004 in this gallery. Azoulay writes: "Even though the evidence is photographed, documented on video, or represented via a painterly image, the atrocity usually remains invisible. Not everyone who looks - sees. Seeing requires a special intention manifested in the viewer's responsibility for that which is visible [in the photograph]… 'Everything could be seen,' people will say in the future… That future is already here."3 What has changed in the three years that have passed since that exhibition? Situate your counterpart, your double, there, at the checkpoint: What has he endured in those three years? Is it something discernible? Imagine a concrete pillory confining your head, pressing on your neck, weighing on your back and shoulders. Three whole years. You don't get used to it. Remember the concrete. The works in the exhibition oscillate, as aforesaid, between the concrete and the symbolic. The concrete pole is represented by the traveling exhibition "Endless Checkpoints" featuring photographs taken by members of Machsom Watch, Women for Human Rights Organization, who visit the checkpoints and document the occurrences there. I chose to present chapters from that exhibition as an ethical axis for the current exhibition. To hang clusters of photographs throughout the show as a kind of testimonial diary. To insert them amidst art works that respond to this concrete existential picture. To remind us which is the reality, and which is the response to it. In the photographs you will not see what the Machsom Watch women strive to show. You will not see here what you see there. But you will recognize the protest. In the photographs they document and disseminate what most of us would rather omit from our routine consciousness: the humiliation, the oppression, the plight, the nightmare, the arbitrariness, the hopelessness.

THANKX AGAIN SWEET HEARTH Teatay
Sweetheart's Prayer So many things don't make sense No matter how hard we try. Sometimes we just let it go And watch our lives pass us by. But no matter what happens One thing will remain true, As long as I'm living I will always love you. No matter if we argue and fight And don't speak for a day, We'll be there for each other All along the way. I know I will love you Up until the very end, And I hope we'll be together Forever and ever... Amen.

THANKX MY HeaveN
MOMENTS These moments in time are yours, These two moments are your to keep. Treasure them For we must each go along our own paths, You, to your destiny, I, to mine. $$$ The dreams I dream of you, As I lay awake at night. Tears flowing down your face, Rivers flowing down mine, As we think of our parting, And reminisce our love. $$$ But always remember, That I am here, I am here, I am here in your very beginning. Our love cannot be forgotten For I am here, I am here, Hiding from you. $$$ No more moments, <HeaveN

THANKS SWEET HEART HeaveN
LOVE OR WEED? I'm getting tired of you I don't wanna laugh. I just wanna cry all over again. You messed me up when you cheated. You chose weed over me. I can't forgive you. My heart needs time to heal. I don't need you or your weed. I can't love you anymore. You need to let go of me. You don't need me any way you have your weed to love. I was never your girl, you cheated. Now I wanna laugh at you. I wanna dry those tears all over again You made my life better by leaving. Go love the weed. I have a new man to love me. Who won't chose weed over me. Let's burn the weed, <HeaveN>
