Gegenwart aus Jahrtausenden Zeitgenössische Kunst aus Ägypten

Egypt - with this country we associate ideas of art with more than 4,000-year-long history: the beautiful Neferttiti, the treasures of Tutankhamun, the pyramids in the Valley of the Kings. Much of the intellectual structure of Europe has its roots in the large country on the Nile. What is lacking is only the present and thus contemporary art. This book shows 13 positions of artistic individuals who have found a very contemporary language who work in all media and act on an international level. Texts by scholars and artists document the intensive, often controversial discussion in an art scene that moves between the contrasting contexts of the Occident and the Orient.
