Art Talks Egypt - WHY / Nadine Hammam | Gender and art | Scoop.it
Nadine Hammam opens her fourth solo show asking WHY at ArtTalks on Tuesday December 10, 2013 at 6PM. Through the exploration of the multidimensional and multi-layered word 'why,’ taken here both as a linguistic sign and as an artistic objec...t, she offers no answers. Embracing the ultimate cliché of ‘love’, she uses broken mirrors to deconstruct the signification of words and displaces them within new contexts of signification. What initially appears as an unassuming deconstruction of ‘what is broken can’t be fixed’ is resituated to question the status of the ‘other.’ She deliberately places her audience in the midst of the work, mirroring, reflecting, fragmenting and refracting new possibilities.
