Upcoming
In March, Ibraaz Editor-in-Chief Anthony Downey will be taking part in a two-day symposium on the state of global art publishing at the American University of Beirut, Critical Machines. The symposium will take place at AUB on 7 and 8 March. It accompanies the exhibition of the same name currently on show at
the American University of Beirut Art Galleries.
Ibraaz and the Kamel Lazaar Foundation are pleased to announce that they are the online media partners, alongside the International New York Times, for Art Dubai's 2014 Global Art Forum. Ibraaz will be streaming the forum live from the Dubai venues, and publishing exclusive video interviews with the panellists, individual panel discussions, and bilingual transcriptions.
Titled Meanwhile...History*, Global Art Forum 8 will explore a timeline of turning points in history – significant decades, years, days, minutes or seconds that shifted an understanding of the world. Co-directed by curator-translator Omar Berrada of Dar al-Ma'mun and artist Ala Younis, and commissioned by writer Shumon Basar, the forum will also reflect on the philosophy and fiction of making history matter.
Global Art Forum 8 will take place at Katara Art Center, Doha, on 15 and 16 March, and at Art Dubai, Mina A' Salam, Madinat Jumeirah, from 19 to 21 March. For the full programme, see below.
The Kamel Lazaar Foundation is also pleased to announce the launch of its quarterly newsletter. Sign up to receive regular news on the foundation's activities and events, updates on artists' research projects and collection highlights.
