New and historical works by 15 intergenerational artists in the Sharjah Art Foundation Collection that explore drawing as a practice. The exhibition grew out of a two-year research project into conserving paper; it seeks to re-examine the very nature of drawing as a culturally situated disciplinary practice \u2013 one that begins in the mind and extends into myriad material forms. It also delves into the concept of the double, the pair, the rejoinder: “acts of repetition accumulate through a curated scenography, in which artistic duets \u2013 duos who dance and sing together, who, through the right dissonance or imperfect resonance, find themselves in a state of harmony \u2013 guiding visitors across a century in time”.<\/p>\n
The artists included in the exhibition are Baya, Mounir Canaan, Kimathi Donkor, Ibrahim El-Salahi, Theaster Gates, Kamala Ibrahim Ishag, Claudette Johnson, Amal Kenawy, Helen Khal, Omer Khairy, David Koloane, Farideh Lashai, Ibrahim Massouda, Eduard Puterbrot <\/strong>and Hassan Sharif.<\/strong><\/p>\n To 4 August.<\/p>\n Right: Omer Khairy, Untitled (1983)<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
