WHAT IS BLOCKCHAIN?
A blockchain acts as a public database
in which transactions are permanently
recorded. It is also highly secure: when a
transaction occurs, instead of being recorded
on a single, centralised ledger, it instantly
appears on a vast network of computers.
Although public, it can only be used with a
specific “key”, and when it is accessed, an
immutable trail is left behind. In other words,
blockchain technology eliminates the need
for a trusted third party to verify that a trans-
action has taken place. The financial sector,
from banks such as UBS and Deutsche Bank
to the Nasdaq stock exchange, has been
quick to adopt the nascent technology,

Beirut in 1925, was, until a few
years ago, primarily known for
her writing; her 1977 novel Sitt
Marie Rose won the France-
Pays Arabes award. But her
contribution to Documenta 13
in Kassel in 2012 made her an art-world star, bring-
ing her small, abstract canvases to new audiences. Adnan creates
works in a small studio in her Paris apartment, using a palette knife to apply paint to the
canvas. On the eve of a major show at the Zentrum Paul Klee in Bern (15 June-7 October),
we visited Adnan to discuss her passion for Klee and why the Swiss artist, who has been
dubbed the father of Abstract art, is pivotal to her practice. At Art Basel, Sfeir-Semler Gallery
is showing several works by Adnan, including a wool tapestry, Reves étoilés (1967-70/2018).
