“Correspondances”, A Proposition By Catherine David

Catherine David was invited by Beirut Art Fair to dedicate one of the spaces of the fair to present a new project that has never been exposed as a part of an art event.

The project consists of the correspondence between two eminent figures of Arab contemporary culture: Saudi writer Abdel Rahman Munif and Syrian painter Marwan (Marwan Kassab Bachi).

This collection of letters (many of which are illustrated in the case of Marwan) unveils a reflection not only on literary creation, but also on the status of intellectuals and artists in the Arab and contemporary world.
