Die libanesische Künstlerin Huguette Caland (1931–2019) widersetzte sich in ihrer fast fünfzigjährigen Karriere konsequent den gesellschaftlichen und ästhetischen Erwartungen ihrer Zeit. Ihr vielseitiges Lebenswerk aus drei Kontinenten steht im Mittelpunkt der in Kooperation mit dem Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía realisierten Ausstellung.

Mit rund 300 Werken eröffnet die Schau A LIFE IN A FEW LINES in den Deichtorhallen Hamburg vom 24. Oktober 2025 bis 26. April 2026 einen neuen Blick auf Calands Schaffen. Sie thematisiert ihren Widerstand gegen soziale und sexuelle Normen und ihren Umgang mit einem Leben zwischen verschiedenen Kulturen und Orten.

Calands künstlerisches Leben war geprägt von ihren Erfahrungen in Beirut, dem freigeistigen Paris und der Bohème in Venice, Kalifornien. Diese Orte spiegeln die politischen, kulturellen und sozialen Strömungen ihrer Zeit wider und beeinflussten ihre Werke nachhaltig. Ihre Kunst – oft sinnlich und mutig – befasst sich mit Themen wie Gemeinschaft, Urbanität, Liebe, dem Älterwerden und der Suche nach Identität.

Ihre Werke – farbenfrohe Gemälde, zarte Zeichnungen, Skulpturen und Textilien – spiegeln eine rebellische, lebensbejahende Haltung wider, die Konventionen rund um Schönheit, Begehren und weibliche Identität infrage stellte. Calands faszinierende Mischung aus Abstraktion, figurativen Darstellungen und explizit erotischen Motiven war ihrer Zeit voraus. Heute gilt Caland als Ikone weiblicher Emanzipation und als Inspiration für Künstlerinnen weltweit. Ihre Arbeiten sind in Sammlungen bekannter Museen wie dem Centre Pompidou in Paris, dem British Museum oder der Tate in London zu finden.

The Lebanese artist Huguette Caland (1931-2019) consistently defied the social and aesthetic expectations of her time during her almost fifty-year career. Her multifaceted life's work from three continents is the focus of the exhibition realized in cooperation with the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía. With around 300 works, the show A LIFE IN A FEW LINES at the Deichtorhallen Hamburg from October 24, 2025 to April 26, 2026 opens up a new perspective on Caland's work. It focuses on her resistance to social and sexual norms and her approach to life between different cultures and places.

Caland's artistic life was shaped by her experiences in Beirut, free-spirited Paris and bohemian Venice, California. These places reflected the political, cultural and social currents of her time and had a lasting influence on her work. Her art - often sensual and bold - deals with themes such as community, urbanity, love, ageing and the search for identity.

Her works - colorful paintings, delicate drawings, sculptures and textiles - reflect a rebellious, life-affirming attitude that challenged conventions around beauty, desire and female identity. Caland's fascinating mixture of abstraction, figurative depictions and explicit erotic motifs was ahead of its time. Today, Caland is considered an icon of female emancipation and an inspiration for female artists worldwide. Her works can be found in the collections of well-known museums such as the Centre Pompidou in Paris, the British Museum and the Tate in London.

Older flash drives might not work.
Port labels are too faint to read easily and the PD out port isn't labelled (I suppose they thought it was obvious since it has a fixed cable). The USB ports are speedy except it won't recognize any of my several SanDisk Cruzer Glides. Others flash drives work okay. Works great as an iPhone USB C to TV HDMI converter.

Worth every penny
Size: USB C to Ethernet Adapter
This adapter provides a stable, hardwired connection when Wi-Fi is not fast enough for heavy law school research. It is strictly plug and play, requiring no software installation. The weight is negligible, making it easy to keep in my bag for campus. Given the excellent build quality and consistent functionality without any drop-offs, it offers solid value for money. It’s perfectly versatile for numerous uses (keeps me from having to use like 3 other dongles)

Works brilliantly with Steam Deck!
Size: USB C to Ethernet Adapter, Size: USB C to Ethernet Adapter
I bought this specifically for a Valve Steam Deck. I recently got a gigabit fiber connection and wanted to take full advantage of it when downloading games on the Deck. I took a gamble on this adapter knowing that Linux generally has incredible driver support without much, if any, configuring. I installed it into the Steam Deck's USB-C port, hooked the other end up to my network switch, and the Steam Deck instantly registered a new wired connection. I didn't even have to go into "Desktop Mode" for it; it all worked flawlessly in the "Gaming Mode". I downloaded a 15GB game in about 3 minutes with the Deck maxing out at 880Mbps. The device itself seems well built with a braided cable and gray anodized aluminum enclosures on each end. It's small and compact so it'll fit nicely in the Steam Deck case's little pouch or in that drawer that every house has that's full of cables, adapters, and dongles. It seems as though it's good value for money as well, like every Anker product I've purchased, but time will tell if something goes screwy down the line.
