Art Dubai’s 14th edition features galleries from 38 countries across four gallery sections and will take place March 25-28, 2020, at Madinat Jumeirah, Dubai.
2020 program reaffirms Art Dubai’s position as the region’s major international meeting point of ideas, bringing together exciting new global perspectives from geographies not often brought to the fore.
Residents, curated by Johannesburg-based Kabelo Malatsie, will focus on the African continent, leading visitors through an exploratory experience of artwork created specifically for the fair through a UAE-based residency.
Art Dubai Modern is the largest edition to date, curated by Sam Bardaouil and Till Fellrath, showcasing solo presentations of Modern masters from across the MENASA region who are often overlooked in the western canon. Bawwaba — meaning ‘gateway’ in Arabic — curated by Bombay-based curator Nancy Adajania, showcases solo presentations by artists from, based in, and/or focused on projects about the Middle East, Africa, Central, South, and Southeast Asia and Latin America.
Held under the patronage of HH Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai.
