Ever since I was a student I have been fascinated by the theoretical limits of meaning. What starts out as vision soon becomes manipulated into a tragedy of defeat, leaving only a sense of nihilism and the chance of a new understanding. The artist, as a symbol of the void, is the sign of the void, and of the hope of meaning. This is the paradoxical and tragic meaning of all the works in this exhibition. It is the void, not the world, that is the decisive point of departure for the artist, and the artist is no longer the one who has the authority to shape reality, to shape the world. The artist is the one who creates the sign, not the signifier.The artist becomes a symbol of the void. In this sense, the artist is the self-contradiction of the sign, the signifier of its emptiness. This emptiness is expressed in the artist as an empty sign, in which the artist is the sign of the void. The sign is an empty sign that becomes an empty sign. The sign becomes a sign of nothingness. The sign is a sign of nothingness that becomes a sign of everything. The sign becomes a sign of nothingness that becomes a sign of everything. The sign becomes a sign of nothingness that becomes a sign of everything. The sign becomes a sign of nothingness that becomes a sign of everything. The sign becomes a sign of nothingness that becomes a sign of everything. The sign becomes a sign of nothingness that becomes a sign of everything. The sign becomes a sign of nothingness that becomes a sign of everything. The sign becomes a sign of nothingness that becomes a sign of everything. The sign becomes a sign of nothingness that becomes a sign of everything. The sign becomes a sign of nothingness that becomes a sign of everything. The sign becomes a sign of nothingness that becomes a sign of everything. The sign becomes a sign of nothingness that becomes a sign of everything. The sign becomes a sign of nothingness that becomes a sign of everything. The sign becomes a sign of nothingness that becomes a sign of everything.

Ever since I was a student I have been fascinated by the theoretical limits of meaning. What starts out as vision soon becomes manipulated into a tragedy of defeat, leaving only a sense of nihilism and the chance of a new understanding. The avant-garde used to be the only possible solution to this problem. But with the time that passes, the problem of meaning will disappear.The gallery has already presented several such pieces, but none has been as imaginative and thought provoking as The Eyes of the Stone, 1992, an installation of five hundred glass orbs. Each orb is filled with the letters of the alphabet, and is lighted in a separate room. From these letters one can see the faces of a number of people that are, in turn, lighted in the gallery. They are all smiling, and, in a sense, the viewer. The people are shown to be smiling because, as in a movie, there is no audience. It is the viewer who is being watched, and the viewer is now a participant in the illusion of the imaginary friendship that the work creates. This is not the case with The Eyes of the Stone, in which the viewer is a participant in the illusion of a friendship. The illusion is that of a friendship between the viewer and the person depicted. The viewer is not only the observer of the other person; he is the other person, and he becomes the real subject of the work.The installation was designed to work with the concept of a friendship, but it did not. The viewer could not join the imaginary friendship created by the installation. This was because, as in a movie, the viewer was no longer the one who witnessed the friendship, but, rather, the one who perceived it as imaginary. The installation was a series of mirrors, and the viewer, who stood in the middle of the room, looked through the backs of the mirrors, which were painted red. His or her own face appeared in the mirror as well. The mirror, which had become a part of the work, was a reflection of the world of art. The mirrors were also used as a means of positioning the viewer.
Ever since I was a student I have been fascinated by the theoretical limits of meaning. What starts out as vision soon becomes manipulated into a tragedy of defeat, leaving only a sense of nihilism and the chance of a new understanding. The artist, who seems to be an artist without art, is no longer an artist at all, and she is forced to confront this fact. The space of art, the space of discourse, is no longer a neutral site of discourse, but a site of confrontation. The artists work is therefore not a new discourse, but a dialogue between opposites that has been constructed and that has been transformed into a new discourse.Moustafa is not trying to say anything new about art or about language, she simply wants to articulate the condition of being a member of the art world. The art world, she has said, is a social construction, but its construction is a fact. The work of art is a social construction, and this is why Moustafa wants to question the art world, not by talking about it, but by making a new, serious, and critical art. This is what makes her work so fascinating. It is not the question of who can or cannot make art, but of who can or cannot question the art world.Moustafa has made a career of questioning the role of the artist as a social agent. In an interview published in the French press in 1996, she told a journalist: The artist is a social worker. The artist is a social worker, because he or she is a social worker. The artist is a social worker because he or she is a social worker, because he or she is an artist. What I want to do is question the social role of the artist. The work of art is not an art of ends, but rather a work of means. It is a social work, which is to say, an art of social action. This work is not only a critique of the artistic, social, and political world, but also of the art world, which is already a social work.
In the end, it is the psychosocial and esthetic consequences of this lack of understanding that are the real consequences of the collapse of Western civilization. And the collapse is not the result of a breakdown of civilization, but of a breakdown of the Western system. The collapse is the result of the collapse of the Western system, and it is the Western civilization that has collapsed.
Ever since I was a student I have been fascinated by the theoretical limits of meaning. What starts out as vision soon becomes manipulated into a tragedy of defeat, leaving only a sense of nihilism and the chance of a new understanding. This is the theme of the exhibition The Unseen Image: Discourse, Transference, and the Sublime, curated by Annelie Sussman. Its theme is the deconstruction of the visual sign and the emergence of a new, autonomous image. It is the image of a visible truth, which we can see only by looking, and it is the image of an image that is constantly being destroyed, but which is always also a sign of its own destruction.In the exhibition, the viewer is confronted with a series of images, which are taken from the history of painting, but which are not based on the history of art. These are not pictures of paintings but pictures of signs, which are already signs. The image of a sign, which is already a sign, becomes a sign, which is a sign of a sign. This is the logic of the sign, which is also the logic of the image, which is also the logic of the sign that is always already a sign. The sign is always already a sign of itself and is constantly being undermined by itself, by itself. The sign, in turn, is constantly being undermined by itself, by itself.The image of the sign, which is already a sign, is undermined by itself, by itself. It is an image that is already a sign, that is already a sign that is constantly being undermined. And it is the sign of a sign that is always already a sign. The sign is always already a sign of itself, a sign of its own destruction. The sign is always already a sign that is already a sign of its own destruction. The sign is always already a sign of its own destruction, a sign that is already a sign of its own destruction. The sign is always already a sign of itself, a sign of its own destruction. The sign is always already a sign that is already a sign that is constantly being undermined.The sign is always already undermined by itself.
