Exposición "Un impulso extraño" / Exhibition "An Uncanny Impulse" (ENG)
(English version below) Casa Árabe expone desde el 1 de junio de 2017 una selección de la colección de Mohsen Yammine de la Fundación Árabe para la Imagen de Beirut, en el marco de PhotoEspaña. Desafiando el poder destructivo del tiempo, el acto de coleccionar ha sido considerado a través de la historia como un acto de salvación que trata de alojar, de apropiarse y de difundir un cierto conocimiento a través del objeto atesorado. La muestra “Un Impulso Extraño. Colección Mohsen Yammine en la Fundación Árabe para la Imagen de Beirut” explora este acto de coleccionar a través de los ojos de Mohsen Yammine, un hombre libanés que durante años recopiló fotografías de Trípoli y el norte del Líbano llegando a formar un fondo único. Esta colección ha sido un elemento central en la búsqueda de la Fundación Árabe para la Imagen para entender la fotografía como un objeto superviviente sin atender únicamente a cuestiones como el culto al pasado, los orígenes, la identidad o la memoria, sino más bien, como material para el intercambio y de cara al futuro. La exposición, comisariada por Clémence Cottard y Marc Mouarkech y organizada por Casa Árabe con motivo de su décimo aniversario, pretende también subrayar el papel clave de la Fundación Árabe para la Imagen en sus veinte años de existencia, como un punto de encuentro entre las prácticas de archivo y las prácticas fotográficas contemporáneas.

Defying the destructiveness of time, the act of collecting has been considered through history as an act of salvation that strives to accommodate, appropriate and spread a certain knowledge through the collected object. The exhibition “An Uncanny Impulse” by the Arab Image Foundation (AIF) in Beirut aims to explore the act of collecting through the eyes of Mohsen Yammine, a Lebanese man who found himself compiling through the years a large collection of photographs from Tripoli and northern Lebanon. This collection made it very central for the Arab Image Foundation’s quest to understand the photograph as a surviving object without only favouring the cult of the past, the origins, the identity and the memory but rather use it as material for exchange, for the future. Curators: Clémence Cottard and Marc Mouarkech. The exhibition, organized by Casa Arabe to mark its 10th anniversary, aims also to underline the key role played by the Arab Image Foundation during its 20 years of existence, as a crossover between archival practices and contemporary photographic practices. http://en.casaarabe.es/event/an-uncanny-impulsePublished at 10 10,,, 17 2017 -

Exhibition: The South and the dream
Casa Árabe and the Embassy of Libya in Madrid have organized the exhibition “The South and the Dream” by artist Matug Aborawi, the most notable representative of contemporary Libyan visual arts in our country. It is an exhibit which has brought together his artistic production from the last ten years, in addition to approximately thirty paintings which he produced in Spain. The works from his early years, inspired by his arrival in Granada, are filled with spontaneity and lively colors. However, as we approach his later years, his work begins to lose this colorfulness, and his brushstrokes grow more somber and synthetic, aware of the terrible events that have besieged his country.
