Biennial “The Book of the Artist” organized by the Library of Alexandria represents an important space in creativity in connection with the history of the ancient library, and it came strong starting from its first session with its opening and to its numerous sessions and in its tenth session this year 18 artists and artist from Egypt and 14 artists from Canada participated, in addition to participation 23 artistic works from Colombia, all this is beautiful and affirming the international character of the Biennial with a high level.
The artworks that reflected the artist’s book’s concept
According to Salah Baysar, “If the Biennial reflects the idea of what art is and emphasises the organic relationship between the word and the image in one unit through literary, artistic, and perhaps philosophical or scientific work, and there are many works in this direction, especially Canada and Colombia, with works by Egypt’s artists, and on For example, the work of the artist Adel Mustafa: from an experience under the title “Rose boats” celebrates the dream,
“Salah Baysar, commenting on the Benali of the artist’s book, continued: “What was presented by the artist Mamdouh Al-Qusifi, “in the guidance of the night,” which is a poetry collection of the immigrant poet by Dr. Sayed Joudeh, with the same title, published in Hong Kong in the form of a book with the support of the University of City-Hong Kong, who has many experiences in the artist’s book,
”He translated him in the picture in a parallel creativity of the word, and also what the artist Mai Karim presented from a photocopy of the title of case 43 frankincense and others and these examples of what our artists presented.
But the Biennial young man was improvising on the other side and experimenting with the idea of the artist’s book, Salah Baysar continued.
I say these words and “under the hands of the catalogue” so that he does not lose the Benali Its compass until the Library of Alexandria gets ready for the next Biennial, because the concept associated with the image and the word, and also preparing for an artistic work for the Biennial, and away from the level, but this offends an international Bienial in Egypt on the land of the library, especially with international posts, and the responsibility here is on the library staff.
It is important to note that the artist’s biennial is one of the library’s most well-known artistic events since its founding in 2002. The international artist’s book “Biennial” is celebrating its tenth session; events will continue through September 25th. Since 2002, the Library of Alexandria has staged this event, which is of a unique nature.
This Biennial is the first occasion in Egypt to address how visual arts relate to the concepts of books, writing, and blogging.
following the start of the tenth session. Salah Baysar offers commentary on the artist Biennali’s creations.
