Annabel Daou Explained

Annabel Daou (born 1967) is a Lebanese contemporary artist.[1] Her art practice includes sculpture, performance and drawing, often with the additional influences of writing and literature.[2] [3] [4]

In April 2020, at the beginning of the 2020 Covid pandemic, Daou staged the work I will worry for you (from dusk till dawn). In the piece, she took over the burden of worrying about the particular issues facing her audience, based on emailed suggestions.[5]

Daou has exhibited at the National Museum of Beirut, the KW Institute for Contemporary Art, Berlin, and Park Avenue Armory, New York.[6]

Her work is included in the collections of the Brooklyn Museum[7] and the Columbus Museum, Georgia.[8]
