Nadine Mustafa All the way from Kuwait to the heart of Cairo, Dar El Funoon is hosting a sensational art exhibition held on October 11th. Since its inception in 1992, Dar Al Funoon has played a major role in advocating local and Middle Eastern art that remains dynamic, fascinating and sought after in the art world. In collaboration with Christiane Abdullah Marmonil and official media partner El Beit, Dar El Funoon will bring their guests a night of dreams that celebrates art, expression, and creativity.
The Exhibition is titled ‘Waking Up’, inspired by the idea of breaking through the constraints of the painting medium by introducing motion through the movement of our own living environment. Known for transforming stunning stones from the heart of the earth, Marmonil will be hosting the event in their factory located in Ramsees, Nasr City. Dar Al Funoon will be transforming the factory with a curated exhibition with its artist “Fadi Yazigi, Amira Behbehani, Walid Tahir & Kairo Lumumba”. The exhibition will combine the worlds of dreams and imagination in a show that will alter the perspective of art as a whole and bring each artwork to life.
In ‘Waking up’, the artists seek to break through the confinements of the medium of paint, by providing motion through the motion of our own lived world.
The mystery of movement in art has been one that has puzzled artists for centuries, and the pillars looks to examine that conundrum, providing a sense of happiness to the spectators viewing the living, breathing works of art, establishing moving paintings that feel as though they could only exist within the realm of our dreams and imagination.
