KONSTHALLEN
Vi är nog alla överens om att konst spelar en mycket
viktig roll i tider av krig och tragedier, särskilt vid
kriser när människor behöver moraliskt stöd och
tröst och söker trygghet för att kunna formulera idéer
och föreställningar på nytt – med nya ögon och ny
känslighet.
Utställningen Syrian Aesthetical Scream är den
andra utställningen efter Paintings from the Orient
som visades 2010 i Sandvikens konsthall och kan ses
som en inramning av en särskild tidsperiod och ett
utmärkande inslag i krishistorien och i syrisk konst.
Syrien är med om dramatiska händelser som orsakar
oerhört lidande. Förstörelsen och tragedierna som
drabbar landet och människorna etsar sig fast i våra
sinnen. Till följd av denna kris har bildkonsten levt
upp på nytt i en bredare och mer expressiv form som
anpassar sig till den hemska verkligheten, och som
till och med går bortom den som ett språng i
mörkret. Som ett resultat av detta har en grupp
syriska konstnärer börjat använda uttryckssätt som
vittnar om större grymhet, och starkare tekniker har
växt fram. Men gemensamt för alla konstnärer är
fortfarande en vilja att ge uttryck för situationen och
resultatet av den.
Utställningen Syrian Aesthetical Scream
sammanfattar och ger uttryck för allt det man
önskar visa. Den visar också på det djupa och öppna
traumat och är ett litet fragment av konstnärernas
förhoppning om en vacker värld där människor kan
leva utan smärta och exil.
Konstnärerna i utställningen är syrier från skilda
religioner och intellektuella trender och falanger.
De tillhör olika konstriktningar men förenas av sin
tro på konsten och dess estetiska uppdrag. Dessa
syriska konstnärer bor i olika länder i världen, men
som hemvist för sin bildkonst har de valt Sverige –
detta levande land fullt av mänsklighet. Sverige har
blivit platsen där deras estetiska skri tar sin början.
Det råder ingen tvekan om att detta estetiska skri har
denotationer just här i Sverige.
Författaren Alain de Botton menar att ”konst ger oss
tröst, särskilt när vi har någon som känner med oss”,
och detta är särskilt påtagligt under
förhållanden av krig och katastrofer. Det är tydligt
att de konstnärer och andra inblandade i detta
konstprojekt inser vidden av dessa denotationer. Nå-
got som alla i konstvärlden är överens om är att det
unika med konst är att den är den viktigaste faktorn
i mänsklighetens estetiska och civiliserade bildning.
Eller för att citera Stendhal:
”Skönhet är ett löfte om lycka.”
Slutligen vill jag uttrycka mitt hjärtliga tack till
Fahed Mustafa och Daniel Palmberg och alla dem
som har arbetat med och organiserat denna
utställning i fantastiska Sandviken.

First of all, let us agree that the role of art during
wars and huge tragedies is of a great significance
especially at the critical moments during which
people need moral support and consolation, and need
to retrieve stability and then reconstruct concepts
with a new sensitivity and a pure vision.
Therefore, this exhibition Syrian Aesthetical
Scream is the second exhibition after Paintings from
the Orient in the Kingdom of Sweden 2010, and it
is considered as a timeframe for a special era, and a
distinguishing feature in the history of the crisis and
Syrian Art evenly.
Syria witnessed huge events that gave rise to signi-
ficant suffering. Nobody can forget the destructions
and tragedies extended to both place and man, and
which got stuck to mind, consequently in front of
this crisis plastic art revived and expanded, and its
expressive mode had augmented, even it became
more adapting of the distressful reality; moreover
it went beyond as a jump in darkness. As a result, a
group of Syrian artists possessing modes with more
savagery, and stronger techniques emerged. But
expressing the condition and its results remain the
denominator among all artists.
The exhibition Syrian Aesthetical Scream
summarizes the expression of all that is desired to
view. It also indicates the deeply open trauma. It is
just a stroke that involves the artist’s hope in
aesthetical civilization in which man lives without
pain or exile.
This exhibition contains group of Syrian artists of
the various religious and intellectual trends and
sects. They are of various artistic schools, but they
are united in their belief in Art and its aesthetical
mission. These Syrian artists live in various
countries of the world map, but they selected the
Kingdom of Sweden, which is vivid and full of
humanity, to be the domicile of their plastic arts
works, where Sweden would be the place from
which their aesthetical Scream would begin. There is
no doubt that this aesthetical Scream has denotations
in this specific place (Kingdom of Sweden).
Psychologist Alain de Botton believes that: ”Art
provides us with consolation, especially when we
have a man that sympathizes with us”, especially in
the conditions of wars and disasters. It is quite
established that the artists and the persons supervi-
sing this artistic project (Exhibition) realize the es-
sence of these denotations. The unique thing agreed
on by all in the world of art is that the art is the most
important factor in man aesthetical and civilized
education, as Stendhal says:
”Beauty is a promise of happiness” .
Finally, I send my best wishes and thanks to Fahed
Mustafa and Daniel Palmberg and all those who
cooperated and organized for this
exhibition in the lovely town Sandviken.
