Sajil
December 30, 2010 – October 1, 2011 @ Mathaf: Arab Museum of Modern Art
Sajjil means‘Act of Recording’ and it brings together over 200 artworks from Mathaf’s extensive collection. Here you will find turning-points in artistic thought as it evolved in the Arab world during the century leading up to the 1990s.
I arrived in Qatar on Tuesday. Though school doesn’t start for another month I just can’t seem to wait for this new chapter in my life to begin. Qatari people seem like a very neat and proud people. It’s a little humid here, but not as hot as Kuwait. I love how diverse the population is and how much better the roads are. Yesterday I stopped by the university to introduce myself; everyone was very friendly and welcoming. I haven’t really been taking any photos to post, maybe I’ll just post my photos from the MFA meeting in February since I took a bunch then..

I am currently reading Art and Fear (by David Bayles and Ted Orland) and Modern Arab (Art by Nada Shabout).
I have just finished reading Flowers For Algernon (by Daniel Keyes) and Autopsy of a Suicidal Mind (by Edwin Shneidman).
I am either really easy to please as a reader, or these four books are great reads.
