The very existence of the Venice Biennale is unintentionally brought to the attention of viewers by the establishment of the Art Dubai and Sikka Art & Design Festival in Madinat Jumeirah and Al Shindagha in Dubai, as well as the Abu Dhabi Art Fair, Louvre, etc. in the Bassam Freiha Art Foundation in Al Saadiyat Island of Abu Dhabi near water venues Can a developing art biennale be held in the Middle East during the fall and winter of the year, when the Venice Biennale is closed?
Al Saadi’s Biennale exhibition, Sites of Memory, Sites of Amnesia, presents works that chronicle his journeys across the Arabian Peninsula.
“Abdullah Al Saadi: Sites of Memory, Sites of Amnesia”, curated by Tarek Abou El Fetouh is now open at Venice Biennale.
I first became acquainted with Master Abdulqader Al Rais, a renowned Emirati painter, through Christie's auction catalogs from 2007 to 2008 and beyond. At the time, my friends and I were flying from Tehran to Dubai for the Christie's Middle East Auction, which was held twice a year at the Emirates Towers Hotel in April and October to create reports.
Curated by Tarek Abou El-Fetouh, “Abdullah Al-Saadi: Sites of Memory, Sites of Amnesia” proposes to look at his creative process in relation to the practices of Arab poets centuries ago.
Abdullah Al Saadi returns to the International Art Exhibition of the Venice Biennale after three years with a solo exhibition.
