Exhibition - 'Golden Nuggets'

Mashrabia Gallery Cairo and GIZ are pleased to present

Golden Nuggets
A group exhibition of small works

Opening on Sunday, December 7 at 6 pm

Artists include Aziz El Hihi, Baharaddin Adam, Damon Kowarsky, Essam Marouf, Fadwa Ramadan, Gilbert Cosset, Hany Rashed, Marwa El Shazly, Qarm Qart, Salah El Mur, Wahib Nassar and more.

Although size is key in contemporary art and its production, many artists have nonetheless focused on the realization of several small pieces throughout their career. The exhibition Golden Nuggets now on display at GIZ presents small artworks not only to offer a view on this diverse panorama but also to ponder on the value hidden behind a small size. Ranging from the abstract still life of Essam Marouf to the monoprints of Hany Rashed, through the beads and feathers of Marwa el Shazly and the masks of Salah el Mur, the collection gathers well established and lesser known artists to explore the broad possibilities of concept, technique and the use of different media.

Is the size crucial to determine the value of an artwork or rather you can find gold enclosed even in a small frame?

Residency at Bait al Zubair, Oman


The Bait al Zubair Museum Muscat recently selected Tetsuro Kano [Japan], Amanda Agyei [UK], and Damon Kowarsky for their first ever artist in residence program.

Each artist will spend a month over the winter season exploring their artistic practice and engaging with the public and local artistic community. The residencies are non-prescriptive and process-based, allowing the visiting artists to develop projects in response to their new environment, or to conduct research benefiting from Bait Al Zubair's resources.

Bait al Zubair established its residency program in 2014 to increase engagement between Omani artists and those from other countries. Each residency will include artists talks, and culminate in an open studio program.

'Origins' at ArtChowk Karachi


In a discussion between Anwar Saeed, Afshar Malik, Laila Rahman and Atif Khan in the Cowasjee Printmaking Studio at the National College of Arts, Lahore, 2013, the idea for this exhibition of artists engaged in only pure printmaking techniques was born.

The varied interpretations in the works are a testament to the rich vein of imagery, forms, textures and subtle allusions that this word prompted in us.
