Projects

Art Dubai Projects is a programme of new works and performances that explores the fabric and economy of an art fair, embracing the theatrical nature of such an event. In 2012, this critically-acclaimed, interactive programme features dynamic new initiatives: artists’ residencies and site-specific projects are joined by live, city-wide radio transmissions (Radio for Example (R22-Dubai), a collaboration with The Pavilion Downtown Dubai); a new Performance Night, staged at the fair, in partnership with Traffic; plus a unique artist’s project for children created by Yto Barrada with Zid Zid Kids.
 
Artists commissioned to produce new site-specific and performative works for Art Dubai Projects include Fayçal Baghriche, Carlos Celdran, James Clar, Köken Ergun, Setu Legi, Magdi Mostafa, UBIK and Deniz Üster.
