Question/Message:

This weekend I will be teaching a couple of workshops on Urdu Calligraphy at the Pulitzer Museum, St. Louis. Some of you have followed my work and I am incredibly thankful for your support. My latest gig at Pulitzer is tied to a larger exhibition that relates to refugees, diaspora, and displacement. 

On a personal note, I was in eighth grade when I left Pakistan for the US. At 14, everything and everyone I knew of my friends, extended family, school, culture, belongings were left behind. It’s a painful experience. Nobody leaves their home to migrate to a foreign land unless things get really ugly. So I try my best to keep it beautiful and positive. The good news is that I retained enough to share Urdu/Arabic calligraphy with family and friends 🙂

If you were selling bunnies, you would like to get that warm fuzzy cozy li’l fella some plush to make him huggable. ‘Rabbit’, a three-foot stainless steel sculpture by Jeff Koons recently was sold for over $90 million. Actually, a stainless steel carrot is also part of the package! As for this novel art, there have been plenty of oversized stainless steel, balloon like sculptures created by Mr Koons such as ‘Bouquet if Tulips’, “Play Doh”, ‘Balloon Monkey”, “Balloon Swan” and many more. As far as novelty artwork, Mr Koons have been found guilty of copying other artists many times in the past – just search NY Times articles on Jeff Koons.There you have it folks, a one of a kind masterpiece – art for the sake of art.

This is the World We Live In. It’s sad to see the horrible event in New Zealand where 50 Muslim worshippers were gunned down. Believe it or not, it doesn’t have ripple effect on the other side of the globe here in the US.
