MORE than 55 artworks on a range of practices and mediums, including sculptures, paintings and video and sound art pieces, were unveiled at the 4th Annual Artist in Residence Exhibition which opened at the Doha Fire Station on Monday.
Titled ‘Infinite Dimensions’, the collection was the creation of 19 artists during a 9-month Artist in Residence Programme, an annual initiative of Qatar Museums that nurtures creative talent from across the country.
The exhibition has been organised by Fire Station Curators Dr Bahaa Abudaya (curator of contemporary art) and Saida al Khulaifi (associate curator and senior Exhibition & Residence Programme coordinator). The artworks are organised around three sections: ‘Tangible Spectrums’, ‘The Edge of Thoughts’, and ‘Visual Sphere’.
Speaking on the occasion, Dr Bahaa Abudaya said, “Infinite Dimensions is a very unusual exhibition for the local art scene, because it’s exploring one of the most complicated and problematic contemporary art subjects—the question of conceptualism. It is the result of a very constructive and critical discussion between the curators and the artists at the Fire Station.”
Saida al Khulaifi added, “Idea versus execution is the core theme that guided this process and the exhibition shows multiple outcomes experimenting with concepts such as ideas, mediums, sound and light.”
Commenting on the occasion, Director of the Doha Fire Station Khalifa al Obaidli said, “The exhibition reflects the world-class artistic talent of Qatar’s creative community and is another example of how this programme offers artists a chance to develop their practices. I’m delighted to celebrate these artists as we end our season and look ahead to their future endeavours.”
The works will be on display until September 1.
