À quoi servira la collecte

<p> This will be the first exhibition in Paris of contemporary Middle Eastern art prepared by students of international relations. They are mostly international exchange students following the course '<a href="http://formation.sciences-po.fr/enseignement/2013/OCMO/2080" target="_blank">Contemporary Art and Geopolitics in the Arab World</a>' at the Paris School of International Affairs / Sciences Po.</p> <p>  </p> <p> This course has been given since 2012 by me, the lecturer and curator Robert Kluijver. I work intensely with artists from all over the Middle East. The point of the course is to introduce art as a new way of understanding sociocultural change in the region. </p> <p>  </p> <p> Each student has paired with one artist to discuss a specific series of the artist's work. The end-of-term papers of the students provide an in-depth analysis into the meaning of that work of art, from the unique perspective of a student of international relations. Based on that meaning, I will install the exhibition.</p> <p>  </p> <p> To cover modest installation costs, and food and drinks during the opening, I need external funding, as Sciences Po has no budget for this. I have calculated, in all, 500 Euros printing and installation costs, and 500 Euros for food and drinks during the opening. Any left-over food and drinks will be donated to the artspace, The Window, which has agreed to host the exhibition free of charge.</p> <p>  </p> <p> The opening coincides with the last day of the Spring season and the beginning of the Easter Holidays.</p> <p>  </p> <p> The work at the top of the page is an Installation View of Faycal Baghriche's 'Souvenir' and 'Elective Purification'.
