Artist criticizes Aswan Horse Rider Statue placement
The article discusses the controversy surrounding a sculpture featuring a person on a horse in an inverted position, which has been installed since last March during the Aswan International Sculpture Symposium, in the Radhwan area. Visual artist Rgif Said Konda explained that artworks placed in public spaces should align with the values of the public and address different cultures aesthetically and philosophically. He emphasized the importance of having a visual artist on the committees selecting the works to avoid provocation. He also confirmed that approved artworks should reflect the local environment and engage the audience in a refined artistic manner. He believes that the participation of local artists will support public taste and add cultural and artistic value to the area. He pointed out that the absence of Egyptian artists in the selection process has led to the emergence of works that do not align with Egyptian environment and art. He hopes that future works will express Egyptian heritage and reflect the artistic sensibility of the community.
