17<sup>th<\/sup> century French fairy tale by Charles Perrault. It consists of a rotating headless mannequin wearing a white wedding gown that Ghada Amer sewed and on which she embroidered the entirety of the French tale. Meanwhile, an old phonograph plays repeatedly \u201cOn the Beautiful Blue Danube\u201d by Johann Strauss. We see the dress, hear the music, and read the thread (even if we cannot fully decipher the entire carefully embroidered text). Our visual and auditory senses are engaged as we ponder the work\u2019s association with childhood and the performance of femininity.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p><p>On the day of the show\u2019s opening, Ghada Amer wore a red dress she had also stitched herself, a replica of the white gown worn by the mannequin. After roaming around the gallery in the red gown, the artist changed into another outfit and placed the red dress on a wooden chair alongside the other elements of the installation.<\/p><p>This sculpture calls upon the viewer to participate in the performance and brings her\/him into the tactile, auditory and visual world of the feminine craft.<\/p><p>The <strong>La Belle au Bois Dormant<\/strong> sculpture was first shown in 1995 in the \u201c<em>Le Duc sur un Noyau de Cerise et La Princesse au Petit Pois<\/em>\u201d group exhibit about fairytales, curated by Karen Rudolph. It was first shown at the Friedenstein Castle Kunstverlag in Gotha (Germany) and later that same year at FRAC Auvergne, in Villeneuve Lembron (France).\u00a0<\/p><p>To create this sculpture, each artist was invited to select an object from the museum wondrous [Wundersame] collection in Gotha (Germany) and to include it in their work. Ghada Amer chose the music box with Strauss\u2019s <em>Blue Danube<\/em> playing on it and that music box hence became an integral part of her sculpture.<\/p><p><strong>Number of editions<\/strong>:

The lace mouthpiece was commissioned by the French National Center for Visual Arts (Centre national des arts plastiques). It was created as part of an embroidery project aimed at the promotion of the famous Bayeux tapestry Conservatory and its century-old techniques of French lace production.<\/p><p>On the lace mouthpiece, Ghada Amer embroidered an abbreviated dictionary definition of the word \u201cfear\u201d in Arabic. This is the artist\u2019s first time use of Arabic in her oeuvre.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-c2cb52a elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"c2cb52a\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-a4c6210\" data-id=\"a4c6210\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2587fc3 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"2587fc3\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>\u062e\u0627\u0641\u060c \u0641\u0632\u0639<\/p><p>\u0627\u062a\u0642\u0649\u060c \u0636\u062f \u0622\u0645\u0646<\/p><p>\u0641\u064a\u0642\u0627\u0644 \u062e\u0627\u0641\u0647 \u0648 \u062e\u0627\u0641 \u0645\u0646\u0647<\/p><p>\u0648 \u062e\u0627\u0641 \u0639\u0644\u064a\u0647<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-a4bb3ff\" data-id=\"a4bb3ff\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0ca3d80 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"0ca3d80\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Fear, Terror<\/p><p>Dread is the opposite of being safe.<\/p><p>One thus says fear him, to be afraid of him,<\/p><p>To worry about him.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-83f1805 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"83f1805\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>This sculpture was created in 1997, at a time of mounting social and religious conservatism in Egypt and in Muslim-majority societies, when more and more women started adopting veiling in its myriad forms.

class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>The title of this sculpture borrows the title of the oldest erotic treatise in Arabic dating from the late 10<sup>th<\/sup>\/early 11<sup>th<\/sup> century, [<em>Jawami` al<\/em>&#8211;<em>ladhdha<\/em>, or <em>Encyclopedia of Pleasure<\/em>] written by an otherwise unknown author, Abul Hasan Ali Ibn Nasr al-Katib. Ghada Amer\u2019s sculpture thus gives voice to a tradition of eroticism prevalent in medieval Islamicate societies that is currently largely forgotten in the East and often misguided in the West.<\/p><p>Of the 42 chapters that make up the entire Arabic text of the <em>Encyclopedia of Pleasure<\/em>, Ghada Amer was drawn to those that addressed female pleasure, a topic that remains largely taboo in both the East and the West.<\/p><p>She embroidered in English seven of the chapters from the Arabic treatise: chapter 7 (On Lover\u2019s Opinions of Sexual Union), 8 (on Heterosexuality), 12 (On the Praiseworthy Aesthetic Qualities of Women), 13 (On the Manners of Women and on Chosen Women), 14 (On Women\u2019s Desire for Coition), 16 (On Attracting Women) and 39 (On the Advantages of Nonvirgins over a Virgin).<\/p><p>In contrast to the majority of her other sculptures that are hand-embroidered, Ghada Amer opted with this sculpture for a type of machine embroidery, known as <em>sirma<\/em>, traditionally used across Muslim societies to display framed Quranic verses. For Ghada Amer, like for the author of the medieval treatise, speaking of eroticism and sexuality is both sacred and pressing.<\/p><p>This sculpture was first shown in 2001 at Deitch Projects in New York City (USA).<\/p><p><strong>Number of editions<\/strong>: Unique<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-33

class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>The French-inspired formal living room furniture, handwoven carpet, and wallpaper that make up this major sculpture were created for the first time in the aftermath of the events of September 11, 2001 and the 2003 USA invasion of Iraq.<\/p><p>In her signature style, Ghada Amer painstakingly embroidered the definition of the word \u201cterrorism\u201d in Arabic on every piece of furniture and on the handwoven multicolored carpet. She also printed multiple definitions of the same word \u201cterrorism\u201d on the wallpaper, this time in English.<\/p><p>By rendering the definition of the same word \u201cterrorism\u201d in two languages, Ghada Amer gives us two histories, two stories of a concept that since 9\/11 has been indelibly associated with Muslims, Arabs, and Middle Easterners.<\/p><p>The English definition of the word \u201cterrorism\u201d reveals that the term was coined in the aftermath of the French Revolution to refer to the enemies of the newly founded Republic.<\/p><p>In Arabic, the term \u201cterrorism\u201d was coined much later, in the 1970s and was assigned to the same lexical field as revolutionaries, misanthropes, ascetics, and Christian hermits.<\/p><p><em>Salon courb\u00e9<\/em> daringly goes against the grain of contemporary political and media discourse. It invites viewers to sit down together and to engage in a discussion in two different languages.<\/p><p>The uneasy climate in the USA following the events of 9\/11 made gallerists in New York anxious about showing a sculpture with such a daringly political message. The artist\u2019s <em>Salon Courb\u00e9<\/em> was thus first shown in 2007 at Francesca Minini Gallery in Milan (Italy).<\/p><p><strong>Number of editions<\/strong>: Edition of
