1—130: Selected Works Ghassan Bishouty b. 1941 Safad, Palestine — d. 2004 Amman, Jordan — Nour Bishouty
Nour Bishouty’s artist book 1—130 (2020) documents her engagements with 130 paintings and sculptures created in Lebanon and Jordan by her father Ghassan. Published by Toronto’s Art Metropole, the book brings together the perspectives of designers Laura Pappa and Lotte Lara Schröder as well as of editor and curator Jacob Korczynski to bear on this collection of Ghassan’s work.
The objects that Nour reflects on include not only tangible ones (such as physical paintings, sculptures, images, and notes) but also abstract, her reflections are also the result of ongoing research, as well as two years of conversations with Korczynski. Nour’s dialogue with her father’s practice occurs in plural formats that include storytelling, descriptive writing, and digital collages.
