Conversations with Contemporary Artists: Mohammed Kazem and Reem Fadda
Tuesday, February 26, 2013
Reem Fadda, Associate Curator, Middle Eastern Art, Guggenheim Abu Dhabi Project, and recently appointed curator for the National Pavilion of the United Arab Emirates at the Venice Biennale, presents “The Contemporary History of the UAE Art Scene.” In the talk, she discusses discourse in art practice from the mid-1970s to the present as it developed in parallel to the formation of the independent nation-state of the United Arab Emirates. Fadda examines the landscape of the UAE's vanguard artists and the institutional framework that laid the ground for three future generations of contemporary artists in the UAE, among whom Mohammed Kazem is acknowledged as a key member. After the lecture, Kazem joins Fadda to discuss his artistic practice. A lively question and answer session follows.
Ticket registration opens in January, 2013.
