## Summary

A minimalist yellow paperback book titled 'My Center is Not in the Solar System: Tributes to Etel Adnan', featuring a simple line drawing on the cover.

## Description

‘Etel. Her name has a talismanic quality. We heard about her in California, met her in Beirut, ate ice cream with her in Paris. […] We wrote down everything she said because it had the ring of sacred wisdom.’ Negar Azimi, Anna Della Subin, Michael C. Vazquez  My Center is Not in the Solar System is a sweeping and tender collection of essays on the life and work of the late Lebanese poet and painter Etel Adnan, whose art bore witness to so many of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries’ epochal shifts. In ever-evolving and experimental forms, the book gathers reflections from friends, collaborators, and admirers, alongside  a selection of previously unseen ink drawings from the 1960s. Co-published with Bidoun, this volume stands as both tribute and testament to an artist whose presence, like her words, continues to radiate. With writings by Aria Aber, Omar Berrada, Gavin Bryars, Stuart Comer, Dominique Eddé, Fouad Elkoury, Joana Hadjithomas & Khalil Joreige, Bruce Hainley, Isabella Hammad, Lamia Joreige, Abdellatif Laabi, Emily LaBarge, Quinn Latimer, Eileen Myles, Edwin Nasr, Hans Ulrich Obrist, Ariana Reines, Lynne Tillman, Fawwaz Traboulsi, Anne Waldman, Robert Wilson, and Kaelen Wilson-Goldie. Co-published with Bidoun
