Loud Art: Culture shock through the artist’s eye

LOUD Art together with Nuqat celebrated the opening of Loud Art exhibition under the title “Executing Culture Shock,” a concept that was first introduced in Kuwait last year by Nuqat.

The show was attended by more than 1,000 visitors on the opening night (May 29) from the Eastern Province’s and KSA’s elite society, art fanatics, collectors, media, and officials and has received positive responses and applause.

Wakim Zeidan, founding member of Nuqat commented on this collaboration, “This is the first collaboration that Nuqat does in Saudi Arabia and with a promising Saudi initiative such as Loud Art. Hopefully, this will be our first move in a row of more collaborations, events and activities in the Kingdom. “Executing Culture Shock” has been a great topic for Nuqat and we are proud to close it with Loud Art before announcing the new theme of our next conference.

The Loud Art concept is the brain child of Desert Designs Art Gallery in Alkhobar and NTI & Co. that was first introduced in 2012. It started off as an experimental platform with local amateur artists in the region. Artists were given a broad theme and the freedom to create art work within it to be showcased as part of a collaborative art show in Alkhobar.
