Sudanese Sculptor Showing Retrospective at Short North’s Gypsy Café

COLUMBUS, OH- May 2nd , 2006-Sudanese born artist Mohamad-saeed Omer has covered the Gypsy Café with his sculptures, paintings, wood carved relieves and an installation.
Located at 874 N High St, the one-man retrospective features work created over the past four years and will be on display until the end of August 2006.
Highlights include a 5’ high freestanding totem-like wood piece based on an abstraction of a circle form from a tree trunk and an installation titled Books Volcano that can be seen from the street through the large glass window of the café. Oil paintings, digital prints, and relieves dot any available wall space throughout the entire café. The works are tinged with an African flavor, based on native structures such as the mud house, legendary singers such as Hamza Al-Din, and bull imagery laced with a unique script/ marking system personally designed by the artist.
Omer moved to Columbus 8 years ago and completed his BFA studies at the Ohio State University College of the Arts. He is presented as part of the Café’s on-going featured artist series. The show is a bit of a farewell for this Columbus treasure, as he is moving to New York City next month.

	David's journey unfolds across America. White is black, black is white. "David/Dafidi" as an "object character" on stage unifies all realities in culture and thought. Based on the philosophy "Life is a Performance," "David/Dafidi" is a unique, experiential, and enchanting performance that admixes art, people, and culture together on stage and in the community. "David/Dafidi" combines "Dafidi's" (a West African Yoruba name for David) life experiences, the historical character of "King David," Michelangelo's sculpture of "David," and a new artistic and philosophical understanding of "David as Dafidi" in our contemporary living. Set at the crossroads of sacred, physical, old, and new realities, "David/Dafidi" features 256 "object characters" including music, dance, philosophy, art objects, and audience interaction. "David/Dafidi" uses America as a stage and will tour through sixteen cities across the country.
Date: Saturday May 31st - 11am to 3pm. Location: 5319 Potomac Ave. NW, WDC, 20016 The story of David'Dafidi unfolds at Mbari - please join us!

Call for proposals for Art Exhibit at Georgetown University
Deadline: June 1, 2003

From Sondra Hale
The Sudan Studies Association and SSUK renew their call for proposals from artists for exhibit material at Georgetown University. I have agreed, as an SSA Board member and Sudanese art critical studies person, to assist in the coordination of the art exhibit for the third international meeting. Individual works of art suitable for display are encouraged and will be part of a group exhibit space for the duration of the conference.

Please note that we are providing the space only. Please think of me as a coordinator and contact person, not as a curator. We do not have the labor and resources to mount/frame or hang/install the works. Each artist will hang/install his/her own works in the space provided. We plan to divide the space equally among artists, that is, as equitably as possible, considering the differences in size and art forms with which we will be dealing. We will be checking out the dimensions of the room and will need your dimensions and any other specifications.
Please send proposals for art work to be displayed (and dimensions) to:
Prof. Sondra Hale sonhale@ucla.edu
