ArtDayME: Abu Dhabi Art commissions artist Mohammed Kazem for visual campaign. Mohammed Kazem is represented by Dubai based Gallery Isabelle.

Mohammed Kazem (b. 1969, Dubai, UAE) is a pioneer of contemporary Emirati art who creates conceptual explorations of the environment through works on paper, video, photography and installation. Kazem’s works synthesise the continuously evolving and shifting debates about modernity and the status of citizens within and outside their nation-states.

His works can be found in a number of institutional and private collections, including Arab Museum of Modern Art, (Qatar), Sharjah Art Museum (Sharjah), Barjeel Art Foundation (Sharjah), Sittard Art Center (Netherlands), JP Morgan Chase Collection (USA), Deutsche Bank Collection (Germany).
