From June 26 until August 5, Ayyam Gallery Damascus will proudly present two coinciding events: Metallica, the solo exhibition of artist Tammam Azzam and Colored Earth...Black Chainsaw (2010), a new installation by photographer/filmmaker Ammar Al Beik. These simultaneous events will demonstrate the breadth of young Syrian art by highlighting the cutting-edge experiments that are defining its movement. Remarkably, both artists will offer work that explores the push and pull of cityscapes, underscoring the juxtaposition of urban sprawls against natural elements and the hidden spaces that lie in between.
