- Summary
- We need art more than ever before. We live in a time when we try to deal with our problems and try to describe our world through words, figures and logic. But to understand humans and to look at the bigger shifts - the tectonic plate shifts in the human condition, so to speak - we need to rise above, or go below, the 24/7 news cycle, and we need art to give us a different language to understand the human condition.0Kasper Holten, Director of Opera, Royal Opera House, London. Majida Mouasher was the owner of the 4 Walls Art gallery in Amman, Jordan between 2000 and 2006. During that time, she worked with more than ninety artists, forty-four of whom form the nucleus of her stunning and vital private collection comprised of modern and contemporary Arab art from the Middle East in general and the Levant in particular, and spanning over sixty years of outstanding quality art. 00Exhibition: Pulchri Studio, The Hague, The Netherlands (22.01.-22.02.2017).
