Thousands of visitors of all ages return to Abu Dhabi Art year after year in anticipation of encountering wow-factor installations and some of the strongest artists and galleries the global art market has to offer. The fair’s seventh edition, running from November 18 to 21 at Manarat Al Saadiyat, is organised by Abu Dhabi Tourism and Culture Authority and promises not to disappoint, bringing together 40 participating galleries from the Middle East, Asia, North America and Europe, along with a robust public programme. TCA programme manager Michelle Farrell elaborated, saying: “Each gallery brings a selection of modern or contemporary artworks to display at their booths, from outstanding new works by emerging artists to iconic pieces from modern masters.”
Curated by Fabrice Bousteau, the fair’s “Bliss” programme presents live choreography, interactive film screenings, performances, and sound art installations, all rooted in Abu Dhabi’s distinct cultural topography. Bousteau says that the aim this year is to thoroughly engage the community: “I wished to go beyond the conventions of a traditional art fair and propose to the visitors, the collectors, as well as the general public, an immersive experience to be lived and not just to be viewed from a distance.”
