| “Al-Mutanabbi Street Starts Here,” a really wonderful project created by poet Beau Beausoleil, is an exhibition of 261 artist books made by 260 international artists/artist teams from 24 countries. These books were made to reflect upon the March 5, 2007 car-bomb attack that took place in Al-Mutanabbi Street, the ancient street of booksellers, poets and writers, located at the literary and cultural heart of Baghdad, Iraq. The collection of artists’ books reflects both the targeted attack on this street of the booksellers as well as the ultimate futility of those who try to erase thought. This project is both a lament and a commemoration of the singular power of words. |
