We are thrilled to announce our participation at Art Dubai 2023 next month. In the contemporary section, Naqsh Collective mark their return to Art Dubai with a materially diverse showcase of sculptural work (Booth F6). Channelling the culture of their Palestinian heritage, the duo present materially complex relief-based artworks and sculpture that continue the artists’ career-long fascination with bringing together customarily divergent materials and visual techniques.“I’ve always felt the promise offered by new technology and especially AI is the ability to see things in a new way, beyond our own imaginings. Yet these technologies don’t sit alone: they are built on past experiences together with universal themes which run through each and every one of us. With Persian Dreams, I’ve embraced these new tools yet fused them with the stories of the Shahnameh, an epic poem thousands of years old, to create a lens we might use to see how stories told a millennia ago still resonate today, even in a contemporary context.”

In the digital section, renowned digital artist Brendan Dawes debuts riveting new series Persian Dreams (Booth X7). The display comprises four screens of metamorphosing imagery: a fusion of AI, motion-captured choreography and algorithmically generated forms which combine visual, linguistic, audio and dance.
