Gallery Nadine Gandy, Bratislava - EXHIBITION SEPTEMBER 21 - DECEMBER 1, 2007

R. is still crouching and dreaming

The crouching figure is a recurring figure study in modern art history, the representation of attention turned inward toward individual destiny, the expression of the body as manifestation of rumination.
The lonely, individual sitting figure appears in the works of Róza El-Hassan as a drawing and later within the framework of a performance (Bonn, Helsinki), called "R. thinking/dreaming about overpopulation", when the artist herself squats down, covered in a black chador, holding an orange balloon in her lap. The posture and attire of the performance returns in the form of a child-sized crouching sculpture, as part of the series continuing until today, consisting of performances, sculptures and drawings. It is here that the dual identity of Róza El-Hassan "and the relevance of her Syrian origins" appears as a determining factor in her work. Ever since, R. has been personally involved, as actor of performances and sublime model for further crouching figures.
The sculptures come into being not through carving or modelling, but rather by way of assemblage: El-Hassan assembles the body from roughly carved blocks of wood, to which she joins the arms and legs separately. We find only traces of appliqué and clothing on the bodies of the earlier sitting figures, but in each case, the "modelling" of the head bears witness to intensive workmanship. The sculptures that have been born over the past eight years have shifted from unadorned nakedness towards an increasingly rich use of materials, through painted figures, towards "ornamentation" with unusual objects expressing joy or other feelings (Hagar drinks Coca-Cola, 2004; Two Buddhists visit Hagar, 2005; Red Figure, 2007). The atmosphere of the figures, and occasionally their immediate environment or accessories, reveal the political situation or personal state of the artist at the time of their creation.

The political message of the sculptures is unambiguous by way of their title, affirming the necessity of the individual‚s assumptionof responsibility, but also their vulnerability. The crouching figure appearing in the exhibition space or public space demonstrates with its silent presence.
Among the fragile, decorative, colourful figures, the motif of the heart as an even more basic symbol of humanity has appeared in a number of small-scale objects during the last two years. Their genesis is similar to that of the sitting figures in the sense of the very personal assemblage of the heart from small stones, gluing and wiring them together like a puzzle in space. El-Hassan collects the stones herself, as a kind of meditative preparation for an object, which in its simplicity collects energy and radiates it, just as an inter-religious motif.

"Red Man" – Róza El-Hassan: Objekte und Zeichnungen

text by Eva Scharrer in Kunstbulletin

Kunstbulletin Ausgabe 4 2007

"Roter Mann" ist eine neue, etwas lockerere Variation auf meine früheren sitzenden Figuren. Er kauert nicht voller Ängste, sondern streckt Beine und Arme entspannt von sich. Das Lächeln deutet auf keine politischen und existenziellen Ängste. Die Figur ist locker bekleidet, ihre Gelenke sind flexibel.

Vor einem Monat haben meine jungen Studenten in Budapest ein anderes Projekt verwirklicht. Da in unserer Strassen so viele obdachlose Menschen leben, haben Mitglieder einer Künstlergruppe mit lebensgrossen Puppen in Jeans, Pullover und Gesichtszüge aus Gips ein Alter Ego von sich geschaffen und auf die Strasse gesetzt.

Die Künstler wollten damit auf die unmenschliche Situation der Obdachlosen aufmerksam machen. Doch die Figuren haben sowohl unter den Obdachlosen als auch unter den Passanten nur Empörung und Abscheu auslöst. Man hat sie getreten, ein Betrunkener hat mit der Figur Vergewaltigung gespielt. Die Künstler selber waren zum Schluss so frustriert und wütend, das sie eine Figur in die Mülltonne gequetscht haben. Innerhalb von einigen Stunden mussten die lebensgrossen Puppen alles durchmachen, was einem Obdachlosen passieren kann, wenn Abscheu zur Wut wird. Die Figuren haben keinerlei Solidarität erweckt und das künstlerische Projekt wurde allgemein als fehlgeschlagen gedeutet.

Meine rote Figur ist unter anderem eine Homage an dieses fehlgeschlagene künstlerische Projekt.
