ABOUT THE EVENT

10.30am:

Private viewing at Galleria Continua of the exhibition Carlos Cruz-Diez: The Euphoria of Colour, in the presence of Carlos Cruz-Diez Jr.

The Euphoria of Colour, a solo exhibition of works by the late artist Carlos Cruz-Diez (1923-2019), a pioneer of kinetic art, and an undisputed master of colour. The new exhibition marks the first-year anniversary of Galleria Continua space in at Dubai's iconic Burj Al Arab Jumeirah, and the return of Carlos Cruz-Diez's œuvre after the recent feature of his immersive artwork Chromosaturation at France pavilion of Expo 2020 Dubai. 

The show opens to public on November 13th, and will be on view until January 12th of 2023.

12pm:

Visit to Hazem Harb Studio where a small lunch and tea will be served 

Visual artist Hazem Harb acknowledges that his place of origin can never be just a 'land', the artist unleashes an ever-evolving repertoire of artistic techniques to negotiate a space which has been carved up and re-drawn many times. His art is at once subsumed in deep locality, fuelled by personal insight, and entangled in conversations that cannot be easily separated from the global arena.

Operating as a researcher, by collecting and synthesising archives of rarified ephemera including photographs, negatives and maps, Harb mediates his materials in a manner which dismantles them from a static space. Through a process of collage, layered down with geometric precision, he stitches visual artefacts together and forms fresh constructions that invite unheard discourses and a historical rethinking.

He contributed in various group and solo exhibitions, biennales, art fairs and performances, received important awards and was covered by selected press and publications.
