Rowell’s first solo exhibition in the Middle East, curated by Celine Azem, invites viewers to contemplate the moral codes that shape our society. At the heart of the exhibition lies an installation of Rowell’s Painting Language series, interpretations of Aesop’s fables that invite us to reflect on the significance of ethical principles in shaping our individual and collective actions. Other works from this series reflect on ancient mathematics and geometry, merging art, technology, and language, blurring the boundaries between the digital and the tangible.
Also on show is Rowell’s Mosaics series, drawing inspiration from trending comments found on various social media platforms and reflecting the ephemerality of online phenomena; and the Virtually Fragile series sheds light on the fragility of our digital connectivity, depicting a loss of connectivity that prompts us to contemplate our dependence on the digital realm and the potential consequences of its disruption.
To 7 November.
