VCUarts Qatar alumna Hana al-Saadi is showcasing the installation ‘Proposal for A Public Sculpture’ at the Arab Museum of Modern Art in Doha from February 25–May 13.
The project invites al-Saadi to explore experimental processes of research, production, and conceptual thinking to develop a proposal for a public sculpture in Doha, literally giving her the space and time to develop her research around tendencies of self-expression and social rituals, and the role of public art in Doha.
Curated by Laura Barlow, curator at Mathaf, the installation takes the shape of the artist’s studio, featuring a library of working documents, books, and recorded interviews, a display of working drawings and sculpture maquettes and a meeting point for conversations and debate.
The installation will evolve over the course of its three-month lifespan through dialogue with the Mathaf teams, the public, creative and spatial practitioners and academics through open forum discussions.
