The first in a new series dedicated to the work of international artists, Global Spotlight: Annabel Daou features two recent video works by this incredible Lebanese-born, New York-based artist.

The two works – A Year Like Any Other (2020), and chou hayda / if you only knew (2017-2018) – offer meditations on the human relationship to time and its passage, particularly in periods of crisis.

In both works, Daou blurs the boundaries between the mundane experiences of day-to-day life and the dramatic events that mark moments of political and historical cataclysm, capturing the disorientation that results as individuals are swept up in the narratives of history.

This exhibit will be displayed from January 29th to March 19th.
