summer workshop 2012 - College of fine arts Alexandria, Egypt
The workshop created an installation/ shade located in the court yard of the school and utilizes 60 simple stools from students' studios. arrayed and stacked in a curvy surface, the structure was built by starting two arcs then left them towards the middle, the chairs are essentially connected to each other via simple ropes and clamps that are clear from view. Then the whole structure is covered using a plastic cover so it can be used as a shade. Did I mentioned how many trails did the students take to reach the case of stability ? It was two trials and then they added a new arc later !

Egyptian Orientalist Photography(1843 -1920)- Farhat Art Museum - (Balady-Dalida)
Egyptian Orientalist Photography(1843 -1920)- Farhat Art Museum
by Farhat Art Museum (videos)
Photos by : Louis Royer and Clovis Aufière,Felix Bonflix ,Francis Frith ,Béchard,Dumas and others
Bonflix consentrated mostly on picturing the Old Egypt while [Louis] Royer and [Clovis] Aufière had a partnership in Cairo probably during the early 1860s. The work of this pair is rare and identified photographs have consisted mostly of cartes-de-visite portraits of native types taken in the studio, some of which are beautifully composed. They are also important as they represent examples of early photographic representations of native people. Royer and Aufière were succeeded by Ermé Desiré. As Desiré is listed as being in Cairo from 1865, it seems likely that Royer and Aufière had only a short career in Egypt. In about 1863, Royer opened a studio at 15, rue Cannebière in Marseilles and was joined there by Aufière in around 1865.
By the time Francis Frith was photographing in Egypt in 1856--and largely because of his work--an aesthetic richness had taken hold in Orientalist photography that would bring it closer to the reality of the street and indigenous populations.
Photography—both professional and amateur—provided a ready means to capture religious fêtes and festivals and the sites of their performance which have since undergone rapid development.
The Mediterranean Port City - Alexandria, Egypt
Alexandria, Egypt - The Mediterranean port city in Egypt that was once the home for the old damaged lighthouse which was located in the same place where Qaitbay citadel now stands.
Alexandria (known in Arabic as الأسكندرية) is considered the second biggest city in Egypt, coming directly after the capital, Cairo. Being placed on the Mediterranean sea and in the north central part of the country, Alexandria is important as a tourist destination and attraction, and also because of its natural gas and oil pipelines from Suez; so it is important for both locals and foreigners.
The history of Alexandria is the main reason behind attracting tourists in the meantime. The name Alexandria came from Alexander the Great who founded it in the ancient times. The lighthouse of Alexandria was one of the seven wonders of the ancient world until it was destroyed by the attackers. The Bibliotheca Alexandria is not only a modern attraction but it was one of the largest in the ancient world until it was replaced with this modern one. The Necropolis of Alexandria was also one of the seven wonders of the middle ages.
Alexandria might not be the capital of Egypt but it was once considered the second powerful city coming after Rome. This written history made Alexandria one of the cities that tourists want to visit after passing by Cairo, and it is important to say that it carries some good attractions that say a little bit about the past.
Apart from the Alexandria fish dinner by the sea or the ice-cream while walking by the beach, there are some important historical destinations that one should visit to know this city more. The old buildings and the walks through the old streets with the salty breeze is definitely beautiful, but what about knowing more about this city's history?
From the most famous landmarks of this city, Qaitbay citadel stands at the top and this not only goes back to the magnificent views one will see along with receiving a good sea breeze, but it is also one historical place were the old lighthouse was once located before it was damaged by attackers during the wars (
Coming directly after the Qaitbay citadel, Bibliotheca Alexandria is the second important landmark of this city. The library of Alexandria was found since the time of Alexander and it was one of the biggest in the ancient world, but it then faced some restorations and was transformed into the modern library that people visit these days.
Another famous attraction in this city is Alexandria National Museum which tells the story of Alexandria to those who come across it through the different artifacts that it carries and which most of them came from other museums in Egypt. This museum is housed in the old Al-Saad Bassili Palaca, who was one of the wealthiest wood merchants in Alexandria.
Of course, Alexandria doesn't come fully on the sea shore, there are still inside streets that carry much of the history that one would want to know more about when it comes to this old city. Qaitbay citadel and the library of Alexandria are placed on the sea, but most of the other museums are not.
These are the most famous landmarks found in Alexandria but are not considered the only options, so for those willing to go to Alexandria, Egypt, you could also visit the Greco-Roman Museum, the aquarium of Alexandria - which is just minutes away from the citadel ( the Royal Jewelry Museum, the Museum of Fine Arts, the Montaza Palace and garden, Shalalat Gardens, and Alexandria Opera House.
Spending a couple of days in Alexandria will definitely be filled with places to visit and historical areas to come across, and you will even get the chance to take a dip in the sea. If you want more of a summer place that could offer you a good beach and at the same time some silence away from all the hassle of the city, then heading to the North Coast, which is only about an hour or less by the car, will be always considered a good idea to think about (
Egypt in general is a good country to visit for all the history that it carries, you might find some negative points about the place, such as not caring much about the cleanliness of the streets, but you will come back with a really good amount of information, keeping in mind that due to the economic problems, it is considered an affordable country to spend a couple of days in.
At the end, who would not feel excited about the idea of visiting the Great Pyramids of Giza ( or going through the caves of the Qaitbay citadel that will always take him/her to the sea at the end? Almost nobody and that is exactly the reason we recommend visiting Alexandria and Egypt in general.
Just put down your plan and we are going to help you with suggesting those famous landmarks and historical places which you are going to enjoy in Egypt as a whole.

Mahmoud Khaled at Gypsum Gallery, Cairo (Egypt)
Painter on a Study Trip is the title of the recent solo exhibition of Egyptian artist Mahmoud Khaled at Gypsum Gallery in Cairo (Egypt). Painter on a Study Trip was sparked by an encounter with an eponymous 19th Century oil painting in the collection of the Museum of Fine Arts in Alexandria. Reflecting on the artists own classical training as a painter, Mahmoud Khaled's exhibition revolves around six key terms that define art practice. In this video, Mahmoud Khaled provides us with an exhibition walk-through and and talks about the concept of his show at Gypsum Gallery. It's the first video that was created as part of a workshop organized by Medrar.TV with the participants Medrar.TV, Mada Masr, Ahram Online Culture, and VernissageTV, supported by Pro Helvetia. Upcoming videos created within the framework of this workshop will be published soon.

Alexandria Travel Guide - Pearl of the Mediterranean
Alexandria Travel Guide - Pearl of the Mediterranean
Founded in 331 BC by 25-year-old Alexander the Great, Alexandria (Al Iskendariyya) is the stuff of legend. Its towering Pharos lighthouse, marking the ancient harbour's entrance, was one of the Seven Wonders of the World, and its Great Library was considered the archive of ancient knowledge. Alas, fate dealt the city a spate of cruel blows. The Pharos collapsed and the Great Library was torched. Part of the ancient city disappeared under the sea and part under the modern city, so there are few visible remains of the glorious past.
Few cities of the world have a history as rich as that of Alexandria; few cities have witnessed so many historic events and legends. Founded by Alexander the Great (Iskander al-Akbar) in 331 BC, Alexandria became the capital of Greco-Roman Egypt; its status as a beacon of culture is symbolized by Pharos, the legendry lighthouse that was one of the Seven Wonders of the World.
The Lighthouse of Alexandria (Pharos) was built in the third century BC by Ptolemy I on the island of Pharos. The height of the lighthouse was between 115 and 150 meters, so it was among the highest structures in the world, second only to the Great Pyramids. The lighthouse was built on 3 floors: a square bottom with a central heart, a section octagonal average and above an upper section. And on the top there was a mirror that reflected sunlight during the day and used fire for the night. But it was damaged by 2 earthquakes in 1303 and 1323.
The Library of Alexandria was the largest library of the ancient world and the place where great philosophers and scientists of that age came to seek knowledge. Alexandria also hosted, at the time, the largest Jewish community in the world, and the Septuagint, the first Greek translation of the Hebrew Bible, was written in the city.
In all, Alexandria was one of the greatest cities in the Hellenic world, second only to Rome in size and wealth, and while it changed hands from Rome to Byzantine and finally Persia, the city stayed the capital of Egypt for a millennium.
Alas, the city's reign came to an end when the Arabs conquered Egypt in 641 and decided to found a new capital to the south in Cairo. (Scholars still debate if this was when the Library was finally destroyed; it is known that the Library was, at the very least, sacked and badly damaged by the Romans themselves in 48 BC, c. 270, and once more in 391.)
Alexandria has a Mediterranean climate, with warm humid summers and mild rainy winters. The daytime can be humid in summer, with summer temperatures averaging 31°C (88°F), but evenings are usually cooler and breezy, especially by the Corniche. Winters can get cold, with daytime highs down sometimes to 12°C (53°F), with ocassional rain and sometimes hail.
Alexandria is quite a long city; you can get pretty much anywhere by using the local transportation available along the Corniche. There are a variety of local bus services which have improved significantly in the past few years, but they are rather confusing for those who haven't lived in Alexandria for a while.
A lot to see in Alexandria such as :
Citadel of Qaitbay
Lighthouse of Alexandria
Bibliotheca Alexandrina

Egypt is a country mainly in North Africa, with the Sinai Peninsula forming a land bridge in Western Asia. Covering an area of about 1,010,000 square kilometers (390,000 sq mi), Egypt borders the Mediterranean Sea to the north, the Gaza Strip and Israel to the northeast, the Red Sea to the east, Sudan to the south and Libya to the west.
Egypt is one of the most populous countries in Africa and the Middle East. The great majority of its estimated 82 million live near the banks of the Nile River, in an area of about 40,000 square kilometers (15,000 sq mi), where the only arable agricultural land is found. The large areas of the Sahara Desert are sparsely inhabited. About half of Egypt's residents live in urban areas, with the majority spread across the densely-populated centres of greater Cairo, Alexandria and other major cities in the Nile Delta.
Egypt is famous for its ancient civilization and some of the world's most famous monuments, including the Giza pyramid complex and its Great Sphinx. The southern city of Luxor contains numerous ancient artifacts, such as the Karnak Temple and the Valley of the Kings. Egypt is widely regarded as an important political and cultural nation of the Middle East.

When it comes to the relation between theory and practice, we know that art works can fall into the trap of illustrating, instrumentalizing, idealizing, and often oversimplifying theoretical ideas and concepts. These relations, affiliations and citations traverse philosophical ideas and artistic practice. In doing so they cause contradictions and problems regarding how we might conceive of the relation between thought and action, appearance and reality, metaphysics and empiricism and art and philosophy. Consequently, this problem urges us to understand how artistic practice thinks as a discipline, if indeed such a thing is now a valid category, and how art determines thought in form; the site where the operations of reason interacts with the spheres of the sensory and the visible.
‘Art and reason - How Art Thinks’ dials critical and theoretical conversations back to core questions about the status of the image and its capacity for scientific reason. Rather than the artwork as the site of some ineffable mystery we confront the question of the artwork as the place where reason manifests. How does art reason and what is a rationalist art practice?
