THIRD S PACE Displacement, War, and Exile in Simone Fattal’s Works and Days MIRIAM CO OKE or fifty years the Sufi sculptor, writer, painter, and publisher Simone Fattal F has honed her vision of the world and how it might be. Her social, political, and spiritual commitments shone through every one of the over two hundred objects on display at MoMA PS1 during the spring and summer of 2019. Born in Syria in 1942, Fattal moved to Lebanon as a young woman. She studied philosophy and threw herself into the life of Beirut,where intellectuals from all over the Arab world had gathered before the outbreak of the civil war in 1975. After living the war for five years, she left in 1980 and moved with her partner, the celebrated artist and poet Etel Adnan, to Sausalito, in California’s Marin County. She founded the Post-Apollo Press, which published socially committed and spiritually engaged literature. Although she still travels between California and Lebanon, she now lives in Paris. In the MoMA PS1 seven-room exhibition, Fattal’s first one-woman show in the United States, we follow her life and concerns.
