Few
contemporary artists have developed a
visual vocabulary as immediately recognizable as the Chicago - born artist Christopher Wool's — and what's remarkable is that he was able to achieve this distinction across a number of different series,
from his influential text paintings to his elegantly minimal canvases marked by fences and other repetitive forms to his dynamic gestural abstractions that borrow
from graffiti
culture.
The line - up will consist of film, exhibitions, talks and debates, literature, music, politics,
visual arts, fashion and cuisine, including: Light
from the Middle East, an exhibition of
contemporary photography
from the Middle East, an evening of song with Emel Mathlouthi, a discussion of the role of art and
culture in Syria with journalist Malu Halasa and an evening with poet Al Saddiq Al - Raddi whose work reflects his identity as an African poet writing in Arabic.
Since then, she has received numerous grants and awards, including an AVEK - award for important achievements in the field of audio -
visual culture (1997), the Edstrand Art Price (1998), a DAAD fellowship (1999), honorary mention at the 48th Venice Biennale (1999), the Vincent Van Gogh Bi-annual Award for
Contemporary Art in Europe (2000), and a five - year grant
from the Central Committee for the Arts (2001), as well as the Artes Mundi Prize (2006).
It has evolved
from that into street and graffiti art, and,
from there, wall drawing has become so much a part of
contemporary visual culture.
Her wide - ranging interests in American art and
visual culture are reflected in the breadth of her publications, including Benton, Pollock, and the Politics of Modernism: From Regionalism to Abstract Expressionism (1991, which received the Charles C. Eldredge Prize), Spirit Poles and Flying Pigs: Public Art and Cultural Democracy in American Communities (1995), Elvis Culture: Fans, Faith, and Image (1999), Looking at Life Magazine (editor, 2001), Twentieth - Century American Art (2002), The Emotional Life of Contemporary Public Memorials: Towards a Theory of Temporary Memorials (2008), Memorial Mania: Public Feeling in America (2010), and American Art of the 20th - 21st Centuries
