cai guo-qiang: saraab

Dec 5, 2011 - May 26, 2012 Mathaf, Near Education City

Cai Guo-Qiang: Saraab showcases more than fifty works, including seventeen newly commissioned artworks, by renowned contemporary artist Cai Guo-Qiang. Saraab ("mirage") spectacularly re-imagines historical relations between China and the Gulf region and, in turning east to consider artistic dynamics across Asia, reaffirms Mathaf's commitment to presenting a unique Arab perspective on modern and contemporary art.
