2025réf. 216047London: Sternberg Press 2025. Softcover. VG. Sixteenmo. Softcover. Illustrated wraps with white black and yellow titles. 167 pages : color illustrations ; 16 cm. Hans Ulrich Obrist leads readers into the world of path-breaking Syrian artist Simone Fattal in this intensely personal volume. For over five decades Simone Fattal b. 1942 Damascus has eschewed singular form or subject in her wide-ranging artistic practice. In this deeply personal biography Fattal's close friend and confidante Hans Ulrich Obrist journeys with the artist across physical borders and through seats of imagination. Together they discuss the artist's remarkable early life in Syria her coming-of-age in Lebanon as well as her transcultural life in France. Wartime memory and exile in California sow the seed for discussions regarding archaeology history and mythology. Beginning her artistic life as a painter in 1969 Fattal initially created sensuous abstract works that diverged from the predominantly figurative paintings commonly exhibited in Lebanon at the time. In 1980 after a decade spent in Lebanon Fattal fled the ongoing civil war departing from painting eventually settling in Sausalito California where she founded the revolutionary publishing house Post-Apollo Press. In 1988 after studying sculpture in San Francisco Fattal was consumed by another wave of creativity that led her to pursue the creation of ambitious ceramic sculpture--a medium in which she continues to work in to this day from her studio in Paris. Prose and interviews between Fattal and Obrist are annotated and introduced by Dr. Omar Kholeif whose essay helps situate Fattal's multiple creative journeys. An afterword by author curator and filmmaker Rasha Salti entitled "Warrior Women Fall From a Low Height" pulses both in its lyricism and its expressive desire to solder and suture histories once fractious back together.
