Summary: Exhibition catalog; The Mosaic Rooms April-June 2018; with support from AM Qattan Foundation. Hamad Abdalla (1917-1985) is a key figure in Egyptian modernism and global art history. His visual and poetic inventions reflect over forty years of political and philosophical debate in the Arab world and the Mediterranean, and gave birth to an exiled modernity in the cities where he lived and worked (Cairo, Copenhagen, Paris) and the artistic movements he interacted with (CoBrA), lettrism and the Islamic arts among others). Organised as an ABCDary this book is not a traditional catalogue but rather an exploration of the artists's personal archive and library. It documents his erudite wanderings between different cultural universes, beyond West and East, highlighting his status as a trans-Arab, cosmopolitan visual thinker and activist.
