Annabel Daou wins prize at Cairo Biennale
posted: 12/14/10
Annabel Daou has created a site-specific, time-based installation entitled from where to where, which throws into confusion concepts of time and place—indicators essential to how art is traditionally selected, organized, identified, contextualized, displayed, and understood. In New York and Beirut, Daou asked strangers: Where are you now? Where are you coming from? and Where are you going to? and “mapped”/wrote down the responses she received. The piece is accompanied by a sound installation, created by Daou and Greta Byrum, which incorporates the same answers to the same questions, in the same languages, recorded simultaneously. The piece’s title makes it an inquiry into how identity is asserted, undermined, and/or reconstructed through the ongoing exchange between “location” and state of mind. Annabel Daou is of Lebanese descent and is based in New York, New York.

The Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts (PAFA) presents Narcissus in the Studio: Artist Portraits and Self-Portraits, an exhibition exploring the complex, witty, and unexpected nature of artistic identity, on view October 23, 2010 – January 2, 2011. Consisting of more than 100 works, including paintings, sculpture, photographs, and works on paper, Narcissus in the Studio celebrates one of the important strengths of PAFA’s permanent collection while revealing the creative process in an interactive studio within the gallery. “Among the most beloved images in our museum are self-portraits, portraits of artists, and depictions of studio life,” remarks Robert Cozzolino, PAFA’s Curator of Modern Art. “These iconic paintings are part of an extraordinary collection of revealing and historically important artists’ portraits that span the entire history of American art.”
