A bit of modern Egypt in the Fens

Matthew Wilding reports stumbling onto an exhibit by six contemporary Egyptian artists (one of whom died in Tahrir Square) at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts.

I don’t know whether this exhibit was "good art" (though it's affiliation with the MFA infers it). I do know that it was incredibly effective. It was interesting and beautiful, and it made me relate to the core with people I very rarely find common ground with or think about.

The writers obsession with smoking is interesting in an anthropological sort of way. His use of 'infer' in place of 'imply' is not.

The smoking references were actually specifically to see if some anonymous weirdo would complain about it again. Thanks for not disappointing!

Glad this is getting some publicity. I spend a ton of time at the school (half my friends go there) and this particular exhibit is incredibly deep. I highly recommend taking a wander through; contemporary Egyptian art is something that doesn't come along every day.
