Mona Hatoum
Darat al Funun will be hosting a solo exhibition of Mona Hatoum's
work following a one-month residency by the artist. The exhibition
will include works produced by Hatoum in Amman, in cooperation
with local craftsmen, as well as works from the Khalid Shoman
Private Collection, among others. Of Palestinian origin, Mona
Hatoum is an internationally recognized artist known for her
performances and video works of the 1980s and for her large-scale
installations and sculptures which turn the familiar into
uncanny situations that capture the experience of permanent
exile. In 2004, she was awarded the Roswitha Haftmaan Prize
and was the first visual-arts recipient of the prestigious
Sonning Prize. Mona Hatoum will also hold an artist's talk
on Sunday, October 12.
