The Bell Gallery presents a solo-exhibition ofAnnabel Daou, a Lebanese-born and New York-based artist. Entitled KNOT,the three-part exhibition consists of twelve notebooks with acontinuously drawn line that are laid out on a table much like a map; asite-specific wall drawing that transcribes the lines of the notebooksinto the gallery space; and a twelve-fold accordian brochure that chartsthe notebook drawings into a single line. The title KNOT alludes to aninherent reversibility between the text and image, reading and seeing,reflection and experience, creation and interpretation.The project is a collaboration between theartist and the writer David Markus, in which twelve words chosen byMarkus — aporia sacrifice muse island place game object traumadonimation distance that — serve as guidelines for Daou's visualexploration of linguistic meaning.
