We are looking forward to the debut of The Arab Museum of Modern Art, Mathaf, on December 30th, 2010 in Doha, Qatar. The press preview will be on Tuesday December 14, 2010. The inaugural exhibition to be featured is Sajjil: A Century of Modern Art curated by Dr. Nada Shabout. Sajjil meaning ‘to record’. This museum is worthy to note in the region as it is an institution that is focused on growing the region’s appreciation of the arts in a manner that advocates local talent rather than the franchising and branding of museums. We also like this museum as the Chief Curator, Wassan Al-Khudhairi, posted no restrictions on art work that includes nudity or political scenes. The institution aims to be a location for people to visit and start a dialog with others and thus challenging the people’s though process.
Film Review: Tom Ford’s “A Single Man”
3
Tom Ford’s A Single Man is a must-watch! The movie is based on a novel written by Christopher Isherwood, a queen of an author. It is set in Los Angeles during the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962. The story line is about a British professor who is struggling to find a purpose in life after the death of his long beloved partner.
A Single Man exemplifies how society views minorities, and in that we mean the gay community. It touches upon peoples’ fears of growing old and being lonely. The screenplay is written by the well-known fashionista, Tom Ford with David Scearce. The simple story line, plot, and actors fit perfectly to the giveaway message. It turns out the fashionista is a magnificent multi-tasker! It has been a while since we have seen a movie that is worthwhile. Without a doubt, this movie is fruitful.

Preservation of the past is inevitable. It has happened and will continue in one form or another. We are what we see or have seen. We come. We do. We leave. Our work stays.
