DESCRIPTION:EXHIBIT AND RECEPTION  Thursday, October 21  l'Art de Vivre by Khalil 
 Bendib  5:00PM Reception/Exhibit Opening  Sultan Room, 340 Stephens Hall  
 Featuring Music by The Dunes  Perhaps the most visible Arab fine artist 
 working in America today, as well as a widely circulated editorial 
 cartoonist, Khalil Bendib draws upon both the rich tradition of Maghrebi 
 art that precedes his work and his particular experience of Algeria's 
 struggle for national liberation. He is the creator of several important 
 public monuments, including the "Alex Odeh Memorial Statue," an over-life 
 size bronze located at the Orange County's seat of government in Santa Ana 
 honoring the Palestinian-American regional director of Arab-American 
 Anti-Discrimination Committee who was assassinated in his Santa Ana office 
 in 1985. A more recent work is "Deir Yassin Remembered," a memorial 
 sculpture that commemorates the massacre of the Palestinian village of that 
 name in 1948. It was dedicated September 24, 2003 at the Hobart and William 
 Smith colleges in Geneva, New York, on the edge of Seneca Lake. He was also 
 recently commissioned by the Arab Cultural Center and the City of San 
 Francisco to design a public mural in Downtown San Francisco, in 
 collaboration with two other artists, and was artist-in-residence at the 
 Legion of Honor Museum of Art in San Francisco from August to November 
 2002.  The opening exhibit will include music by the The Dunes, a Bay 
 Area-based band that plays a variety of North African Rai, Chaabi, and 
 Berber music combined with Western styles.  [The above info is from the
