Description: Christine Gedeon?s 'Aleppo: Deconstruction Reconstruction' is a series of fifteen works on paper, exploring places in pre-civil war Syria, which belong to the artist?s personal history. Ranging from the quotidian to the tragic, these include such sites as her grandfather?s office, located closely to the Citadel, as well as the famed Baron Hotel. Unaware of the present state of the city, Christine Gedeon recreated a version of Aleppo, accessible only by memory. Her new book is a moving evidence of art?s curative capabilities, supplemented by family photographs and an essay on Syria by Nasser Rabbat.
