Posing questions about memory, the body, folklore and rituals,
Jumana Emil Abboud's artistic practice confronts the telling and
retelling of history and the impacts of language and the
fragmentation of memories. In aching agony and longing I wait for
you by the Spring of Thieves includes a selection of the Jerusalem
based artist's visual, poetic and text-based projects spanning 20
years, and contributions by Marina Warner and Tina Sherwell engage
closely with Abboud's practice. In aching agony and longing I wait
for you by the Spring of Thieves' three chapters focus on Abboud's
long engagement with folktales from Palestine and elsewhere. The
first chapter entitled, "The Book of Haunted Landscapes" addresses
Abboud's connection to the landscape of her homeland and showcases
drawings, videos and performances connected to Palestinian
folktales, as well as her recent collaboration with filmmaker Issa
Freij in which they return to haunted springs and water wells
described in 1922 by ethnographer Tawfiq Canaan. A second chapter;
"From Lamb to Monster: A Study of Transformation" deals with
stories and themes of transformation and journeying, while bridging
these with contemporary life in the region. The third chapter,
"Happy Endings: The Book of Spells and Remedies" celebrates magical
beings and bodies, instilling-after morbid events-a sense of the
possibility of realising emancipatory endings. The book also
includes collected Palestinian tales that have inspired the artist
throughout her practice.In aching agony and longing I wait for you
by the Spring of Thieves marks the finissage of Abboud's solo
exhibition The Horse, the Bird, the Tree and the Stone at
Bildmuseet and the inauguration of her solo show The pomegranate
and the sleeping ghoul at Darat al Funun-The Khalid Shoman
Foundation. Supported by Bildmuseet and Darat al Funun-The Khalid
Shoman Foundation.
