artnet.com Magazine Reviews - Into Africa (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-06) |
 | | Amer's third New York solo show, entitled "Intimate Confessions," opened on Apr. 15 at the cavernous, spectacularly renovated Deitch Projects space at 18 Wooster Street in Manhattan, and is slated to travel to the Tel Aviv Museum of Art later this year. |
 | | Amer not only followed these rules to the letter, but went one step further and chose to use a French translation, not the original Arabic, specifically to avoid any possible misunderstanding -- her aim is not to breach anyone else's code of conduct, but to translate across what are, at times, impossible boundaries. |
 | | Despite Amer's deep, authentic respectfulness for her own culture, and for the European and American cultures into which she has inserted herself, there are historical conditions which must be taken into consideration when regarding her work. |
