Bidoun was founded as a print publication and magazine in 2004 by Lisa Farjam, eventually expanding to curatorial projects.[1][2] The Bidoun magazine was in publication from spring 2004 until spring 2013.Table of ContentsMagazine[edit]Magazine contributors[edit]Bidoun art and culture projects[edit]Publications[edit]Books[edit]Issues and themes[edit]References[edit]External links[edit]Magazine[edit]The word “bidoun” in both Arabic and Persian means \u201cwithout\u201d in English. It is commonly mispronounced and confused with the word Bedouin.[2]Bidoun was a finalist for the 2009 National Magazine Award for General Excellence (circulation category less than 100k).[3] It has won three Utne Independent Press Awards, for Social\/Cultural Coverage and Design.[4]Magazine contributors[edit]Notable contributors to the magazine include: Etel Adnan, Tirdad Zolghadr, Pankaj Mishra, Binyavanga Wainaina, Eyal Weizman, Tony Shafrazi, Jace Clayton, Thomas Keenan, Naeem Mohaiemen, Yto Barrada, Bruce Hainley, Hampton Fancher, Gini Aldaheff, Elizabeth Rubin, Yasmine El Rashidi, Shirana Shahbazi, Hassan Khan, Akram Zaatari, Michael Rakowitz, Natascha Sadr Haghighian, Elias Muhanna, William E Jones, Rokni Haerizadeh, Christopher Hitchens, Shumon Basar, Farhad Moshiri, Lawrence Weiner, Mohamed Mrabet, Slavs and Tatars, George Pendle, Wayne Koestenbaum, Issandr El Amrani, Fatima Al Qadiri, Sophia Al Maria, Ahdaf Soueif, Gary Dauphin, Kai Friese, Sharifa Rhodes-Pitts, Paul Chan, Anna Boghiguian, Lynne Tillman, Haris Epaminonda, Iman Issa, Ken Okiishi, Fawwaz Traboulsi, Achal Prabhala, Youssef Rakha, Sahar Mandour, Lawrence Osborne, Lina Mounzer, Rasha Salti, Okwui Enwezor, Namwali Serpell, Robyn Creswell, and Christopher de Bellaigue.The contributing editors of Bidoun were Alexander Provan, Anna Della Subin, Anand Balakrishnan, Aram Moshayedi, Kaelen Wilson-Goldie, Shumon Basar, Sohrab Mohebbi, Sophia Al Maria, Sukhdev Sandhu and Yasmine El Rashidi.[citation needed]Bidoun art and culture projects[edit]The Bidoun Library Project is an itinerant exhibition that \u201cdocuments the innumerable ways that people have depicted and defined \u2014 that is, slandered, celebrated, obfuscated, hyperbolized, ventriloquized, photographed, surveyed, and\/or exhumed \u2014 the vast, vexed, nefarious construct known as \u2018the Middle East.\u2019”[5] The Bidoun Library, which consists of roughly 3,000 books and periodicals, has been exhibited in Pittsburgh at the Carnegie International,[6] in New York at the New Museum,[7] in London at the Serpentine Galleries, in Cyprus at the Point Centre for Contemporary Art, in Beirut at 98weeks,[8] in Cairo at The Townhouse Gallery, in Stockholm at the Tensta Konsthall,[9] in Abu Dhabi at Abu Dhabi Art, and in Dubai at Art Dubai.[2][5]In 2009, Bidoun organized the group exhibition ‘NOISE’ at Sfeir\u2013Semler gallery in Beirut featuring Vartan Avakian, Steven Baldi, Walead Beshty, Haris Epaminonda, Media Farzin, Marwan, Yoshua Okon, Babak Radboy, Bassam Ramlawi, Mounira Al Solh, Andree Sfeir, Rayyane Tabet, Lawrence Weiner, and Alessandro Balteo Yazbeck.[10] That same year Bidoun initiated a collaboration with the web-based archive UbuWeb in order to make available rare video and sound pieces from in and around the Middle East.[11]‘Forms of Compensation’ was a 2010 exhibition of a series of 21 reproductions of iconic modern and contemporary artworks produced in Cairo by craftspeople and auto mechanics in the neighborhood around the Townhouse Gallery, commissioned by Babak Radboy and overseen by Ayman Ramadan.[12]In 2015, Bidoun occupied a booth at the Frieze Art Fair in New York where it exhibited and sold insignificant objects from artists. Inspired by the celebrity collectibles market, where a Justin Bieber hairball sold at auction for $40,668, Bidoun extended this covetous logic to the rarified realm of art, proffering such miscellanies as Jeremy Deller’s iPod Mini, Lawrence Weiner’s gold tooth, Hans-Ulrich Obrist\u2019s abused passport, and a 1638 edition of Burton\u2019s The Anatomy of Melancholy defaced by Orhan Pamuk. Other items included Tony Shafrazi\u2019s prescription drugs, a rock signed by Robert Smithson, Douglas Gordon\u2019s house keys, Yto Barrada\u2019s third grade report card, Hal Foster\u2019s breath mints, Cindy Sherman\u2019s eyeliner, Tala Madani\u2019s body lotion, Wade Guyton\u2019s Nikes, Anicka Yi\u2019s brain, Julie Mehretu\u2019s golf ball, Bjarne Melgaard\u2019s Christmas card from a serial killer, Laura Owens\u2019 bus pass, Shirin Neshat\u2019s kohl, a stuffed animal once owned by the great Iranian modernist Bahman Mohasses, and Darren Bader\u2019s junk mail.[13][14][15][16][17]In 2016, Bidoun programmed a screening series at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, organized by Tiffany Malakooti.[18][19]Publications[edit]Books[edit]Bidoun has edited, published and co-published several books including:WITH\/WITHOUT Spatial Products, Practices and Politics in the Middle East, Edited by Shumon Basar, Antonia Carver and Markus Miessen (Bidoun\/Moutamarat, 2007) ISBN\u00a0978-9948-03-453-7[20]Provisions | Sharjah Biennial 9: Book 1, Edited by Antonia Carver, Valerie Grove and Lara Khaldi (Bidoun\/Sharjah Art Foundation, 2009) ISBN\u00a0978-9948-04-607-2[21]Provisions | Sharjah Biennial 9: Book 2, Edited by Antonia Carver and Lara Khaldi (Bidoun\/Sharjah Art Foundation, 2010)[22]Further Reading (Bidoun, 2011)[23]Here and Elsewhere, Edited by Kaelen Wilson-Goldie and Negar Azimi (New Museum, 2014)[24][25][26]Issues and themes[edit]Issue 00: We Are YouIssue 01: We Are SpatialIssue 02: We Are OldIssue 03: HairIssue 04: Emirates NowIssue 05: IconsIssue 06: EnvyIssue 07: TourismIssue 08: InterviewsIssue 09: RumorIssue 10: TechnologyIssue 11: FailureIssue 12: ProjectsIssue 13: GloryIssue 14: ObjectsIssue 15: PulpIssue 16: KidsIssue 17: FlowersIssue 18: InterviewsIssue 19: NoiseIssue 20: BazaarIssue 21: Bazaar IIIssue 22: LibraryIssue 23: SquaresIssue 24: SportsIssue 25: EgyptIssue 26: Soft PowerIssue 27: DiasporaIssue 28: Interviews“Bidoun emerged at just the right time as the world looked at the Middle East through the singular lens of failure. The magazine is smart and irreverent in all the right ways.” \u2014Ahdaf Soueif[27]“Bidoun\u2019s editorial voice might be described as a combination of Artforum and Harper’s, its audience comprising artists, academics, and intellectually curious readers who enjoy a magazine that manages to dissect Edward Said and Michael Jackson in the same issue.” \u2014Print magazine[27]References[edit]^ “Bidoun Projects – Bidoun Projects”. bidoun.org.
