Antonio Dias: The Search for an Open Enigma

Work by Antonio Dias (1944–2018), an artist who relentlessly transgressed material and conceptual boundaries, tackling complex sociopolitical issues across diverse mediums. Drawing upon Hélio Oiticica’s 1969 analysis of Dias’ practice, the title embraces the versatile, ever-changing and subversive nature of his artistic oeuvre; the exhibition pays homage to Dias’ category-defying tendencies through a broad selection of works that encompass his artistic trajectory from its beginnings in the 1960s until the early 2000s.

The exhibition is curated by Hoor Al Qasimi, Director of Sharjah Art Foundation, with Reem Sawan, Curatorial Assistant at the Foundation.

To 8 December.
