Yvette Drury Dubinsky: THERE AND GONE BY KAREN K. BUTLER

How does an artist thoughtfully and empathetically represent the tragedy and devastation of war? Particularly, in this case, an artist whose experience of the destruction is at a remove— transmitted through letters from friends, email correspondence, and newspaper and television reports. Yvette Dubinsky’s exhibition There and Gone grapples with the devastation and widespread upheaval resulting from the Syrian civil war beginning in 2011 by evoking the challenges faced by two families living through the conflict. Necessarily mediated by distance, Dubinsky’s work approaches the subject matter through predominantly abstract means, incorporating maps, images of fruit, and occasionally castoff industrial materials in a series of collages and a large-scale installation. In one significant example, she calls upon Pablo Picasso’s Guernica, one of the most important and successful pictorial condemnations of the destruction of war in 20th-century Western art. In 2009, Dubinsky traveled throughout Lebanon and Syria where she explored the archeological and cultural heritage of the region, which, at the time, was relatively stable and becoming economically prosperous. She befriended two Syrian families with whom she continued to remain in contact and through whom her experience of the current destruction of the war-torn region became personal and more real. With only email contact and knowledge of the current political situation that was primarily media driven, Dubinsky watched painfully as both families were forced to relocate and become refugees. The impotent experience of watching at a remove as two families similar to her own experienced tragedy and loss instigated the body of work represented in There and Gone. Symbols of Islamic and Syrian culture are dispersed throughout the work in this exhibition. Aleppo to Damascus (2012–13), a large mixed-media installation, is the centerpiece of the exhibition and the work that most directly addresses the rupture of civic life as well as the ambiguities of the political situation in the region. The installation evokes the widespread destruction that Syria has faced with particular emphasis on two iconic cities, Aleppo, the largest city in Syria and one of the oldest and most culturally rich, and Damascus, the capital of Syria and the second largest. A large found piece of rusting rebar forms a net-like structure to which Dubinsky has attached maps and other references to historic Syrian cities (Homs and Palmyra) as well as images of political figures and anonymous distraught individuals, borrowed from a variety of media sources. Dispersed throughout are evocative and often heart rending depictions of crying women in headscarfs and tormented male figures in taqiyahs, or skull caps. Images of fruit and nuts common to the Middle East, such as pistachios, pomegranates, and dates, symbolically remind the visitor not only of the fecundity of the region, but, as some of the most important exports of the country, they also suggest its economic turmoil. Poignantly recalling the destruction of more ephemeral aspects of culture, the silhouette of a shattered oud, a pear-shaped instrument commonly used in Middle Eastern music, appears at an impossible angle.

Some of the suggestive force of the work comes from its direct references to Picasso’s Guernica, which condemns and memorializes the bombing of the Basque town of Guernica on April 26, 1937. In a provocative gesture amidst the symbols of destruction and war, Dubinsky has replaced Picasso’s bull, often thought by scholars to represent Spanish dictator Francisco Franco, with the image of a lion, a reference to the nickname of Syria’s ruler, Bashar al-Assad. If in the position of Picasso’s bull, he is the perpetrator of much of the destruction, he also appears in a different iteration as a victim, flattened on the ground. A strong statement about the devastation and destruction wrought by war, both the literal layering of found objects and materials and the overlapping art historical references suggest at once the sad continuity of civil conflict and the difficulty of comprehending and conveying it through art. If the installation Aleppo to Damascus, with all its turmoil and tragedy, is the dramatic centerpiece of the exhibition, the ten collages make up a series of smaller but no less potent satellite images. The earliest and most abstract works in the group use a monotype process as a foundation. In later works, this monotype is digitally scanned and manipulated, often reversed, decentered, and cropped, then reprinted on Japanese paper. Over that new, unique ground, in a process similar to a photogram, Dubinsky adds a cyanotype emulsion in brushy passages. The result is a series of semi-abstract organic shapes that are left open to interpretation. Lastly she collages images of fruit and nuts that have been set on her digital scanner, creating a high-resolution scanned image similar to a photograph. In Storm Blowing West (2013), a triptych that evocatively suggests that the ripples of war in the Middle East will seep beyond geographic boundaries, passages of dark blue and white cyanotype on a rich yellow ground spiral out from right to left. This effect is underscored by flecks of red, green, and blue and images of bold red pistachio nuts, with only the abstracted pattern of a taqiyah and the symbolism of the nuts to suggest the Syrian context. As the title suggests, the storm is indeed blowing west, but what form its abstract effects will take is as yet unknown. The diptych, Fig for Lunch (2013), employs some of the same techniques and rich deep color, through a similarly understated symbolism. Amidst the beautiful turmoil of the abstracted shapes and colors, a single fig refers to one of the foundational aspects of Syrian economic and cultural life—not only is Syria one of the largest exporters of dried figs, but symbols of the fruit have been found at ancient sites in the region. Musing Solo (2013) and the triptych Airborne Pistachios (2013) with their complex interweaving and rich coloring are closely related, forming a group of four works united, in part, by their allusive qualities. In a subset of the series of collages, Dubinsky employs fragments of maps, often overlapping and fractured, to comment on the destruction and suffering in Syria and the complexities of life in the Middle East more broadly. In Saul to Paul, Spiral (2013), Aleppo’s Nuts in Damascus (2013), and Breaking Up (2013), fragmented maps of the streets of Aleppo and Damascus, printed on mylar and collaged across the splattered surface of the work, along with dispersed images of fruit and nuts, allude literally to the destruction of the historic byways and structures of these towns and more metaphorically to the chaos of body and spirit. In Saul to Paul, Spiral, a

map of Damascus shows Straight Street (or Medhat Basha in Arabic), the street where the biblical figure of Saul underwent conversion and became the Apostle Paul in the New Testament. Amidst the visual chaos and evocation of destruction, the reminder of the shared religious history suggests, perhaps, the global effect of such civil strife. Long Fires/Split Streets (2013), the last work in the group of collages, relates most closely to the installation Aleppo to Damascus. A triptych, the three panels are united by color and pattern as well as three areas of flames and maps made from a variety of materials, recalling the flames licking away at the edge of a map of Damascus at the bottom of the installation in Aleppo to Damascus. The thematic darkness derived from the references to burning cities and the overall sepia tone of the work ultimately suggest the more potent darkness of the destruction of war. With this group of works, Dubinsky has effectively conveyed a very personal and evocative response to a terrible situation that is often only perceived through mediated and depersonalized formsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;the newspaper, television, and internet correspondence. In turn, filtered through the distancing of art historical references to Guernica and the veil of abstraction, Dubinskyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s works suggest the challenges one must overcome to both represent and experience such tragedy from afar.

AFTERWORD BY BRUNO L. DAVID 10

I am pleased to present a new exhibition titled “There and Gone” by Yvette Drury Dubinsky and her third solo exhibition with the Bruno David Gallery. This new body of work is inspired by Dubinsky’s intense reaction to the violence and destruction currently happening in Syria and in the Middle East and presented as a mixed media installation with a group of related smaller works. Dubinsky traveled in Lebanon and Syria in late 2009, exploring astonishing archeological treasures and monuments and befriending two Syrian families. Since then, the historic sites she visited have gone under siege and some have been destroyed. Caught in the crossfire of Syria’s war, the members of one family were forced from their Damascus home and are now living as refugees in a mountain village. The other family, from Aleppo, fled to Turkey. Without income, the two families face a dramatic change from the middle class lifestyle they led when Dubinsky met them. THERE AND GONE deals with bearing witness to Syria’s war and the human plight therein as well as Dubinsky’s emotions arising as she works from the perspective of her relatively peaceful, parallel existence in the United States. Combining drawings, monoprints, painting, alternative photography, industrial materials and found objects, THERE AND GONE imagines the pain, ruins, rubble and carnage in places which just three years ago were alive and intact. Support for the creation of significant new works of art has been the core to the mission and program of the Bruno David Gallery since its founding in 2005. I would like to express my sincere thanks to Kate Butler for her thoughtful essay. I am deeply grateful to Jimena Gracia and Lona Moody, who gave much time, talent, and expertise to the production of this catalogue. Invaluable gallery staff support for the exhibition was provided by Cleo Azariadis, Lona Moody, Jimena Gracia, Christy Kirk, Sophie Lipman, Ashley Milow, and Nicole Fry. .
