商品描述

The story of Helen Khal and the artists who altered the course of modern and contemporary art in the Middle East and beyond.

Helen Khal: Gallery One and Beirut in the 1960s is a reflective exhibition catalogue, part archive, as well as a living testament to the late Helen Khal (1923-2009). A polymath, artist, educator, and writer, Khal was also the cofounder of Gallery One, the first modern and contemporary art gallery in Lebanon, which opened its doors to the public in Beirut in 1963.

The catalogue follows an exhibition initiated by Carla Chammas and curated by Chammas and Rachel Dedman as part of Home Works 8: A Forum on Cultural Practices, which opened its doors at the Sursock Museum, Beirut in October 2019. The exhibition, like the catalogue, detailed Helen's life and practice as a catalytic lens through which to explore the work of a group of artists whom she was close to, in life and in art, including: Chafic Abboud, Yvette Achkar, Etel Adnan, Huguette Caland, Simone Fattal, Farid Haddad, Helen Khal, Saloua Raouda Choucair, Aref El Rayess, and Dorothy Salhab-Kazemi.

From here, the publication seeks to address the exhibition's themes of love, sex, and motherhood, the relationship between visual art and the literary landscape of 1960s and 1970s Beirut, and the galleries and studios in which public collaborations and private kinships were forged. Taking an intimate approach to a fabled period, Helen Khal: Gallery One and Beirut in the 1960s unfolds a rich picture of the friendships, connections, modes of exchange, common concerns, and differing approaches of some of the best-known and least-remembered artists of the mid-twentieth century in Lebanon.

海倫·卡爾（Helen Khal）及其改變中東及其他地區現代與當代藝術發展的藝術家們的故事。

海倫·卡爾：畫廊一號與1960年代的貝魯特 是一本反思性的展覽目錄，既是檔案，也是對已故的海倫·卡爾（1923-2009）的活生生的見證。作為一位博學多才的藝術家、教育者和作家，卡爾還是畫廊一號的共同創辦人，這是黎巴嫩第一家現代與當代藝術畫廊，於1963年在貝魯特對外開放。

該目錄跟隨由卡拉·查馬斯（Carla Chammas）發起並由查馬斯和瑞秋·德德曼（Rachel Dedman）策展的展覽，作為家園工作8：文化實踐論壇的一部分，該展覽於2019年10月在貝魯特的蘇爾索克博物館開幕。這個展覽和目錄一樣，詳細介紹了海倫的生活和實踐，作為探索她生前與藝術上密切相關的一群藝術作品的催化鏡頭，包括：查菲克·阿布德（Chafic Abboud）、伊薇特·阿赫卡（Yvette Achkar）、埃特爾·阿德南（Etel Adnan）、雨果特·卡蘭（Huguette Caland）、西蒙·法塔爾（Simone Fattal）、法里德·哈達德（Farid Haddad）、海倫·卡爾（Helen Khal）、薩盧瓦·拉烏達·舒凱爾（Saloua Raouda Choucair）、阿雷夫·艾爾·拉耶斯（Aref El Rayess）和多蘿西·薩拉赫布-卡澤米（Dorothy Salhab-Kazemi）。

從這裡開始，該出版物旨在探討展覽的主題，包括愛、性和母性，視覺藝術與1960年代和1970年代貝魯特文學景觀之間的關係，以及公共合作和私人親密關係形成的畫廊和工作室。以親密的方式探討這個傳奇時期，海倫·卡爾：畫廊一號與1960年代的貝魯特 展現了黎巴嫩20世紀中葉一些最知名和最少被記住的藝術家之間的友誼、聯繫、交流方式、共同關注和不同的藝術取向的豐富畫面。
