What makes Art Dubai a must-attend event?
It is the largest exhibition of modern and contemporary art in the MENASA. Art Dubai gathers the most fascinating and inspiring minds in the creative sectors. There is more to see and experience that goes beyond the gallery halls. It is visually and intellectually stimulating. It serves as a mandate for Dubai. So, let's support this city.
What makes Art Dubai stand out from other global art fairs?
It is an art fair born in Dubai and representing the world. It is the most globally diverse fair and is the pre-eminent platform to discover and engage with art from the Middle East, North Africa and South Asia. It's also got satellite programming that is extraordinarily diverse and augments the fair model by offering audiences multiple events and activities for everyone.
What are the must visits at Art Dubai 2018?
Make sure to visit Residents, our new section at the fair that has 11 artists from around the world exhibit work that they have produced during their 4-8 week residency in the UAE prior to the fair. Do go to That Feverish Leap into the Fierceness of Life, a museum-quality show that looks to modernist schools in five Arab cities (Baghdad, Cairo, Khartoum, Riyadh and Casablanca) over 50 years. It is curated by Sam Bardaouil and Till Fellrath and supported by the Misk Art Institute. Attend sessions at the Modern Symposium where great minds will come together to discuss the lives and legacies of modernist masters in the Middle East, Africa and South Asia. Also explore how much robots will impact our lives in the years to come through the Global Art Forum's sessions under the title, I am not a Robot. Do remember to pace yourself as you walk through the galleries and greet 48 countries that they are coming from. And most importantly, enjoy it!
