Dubai, April 2, 2021:
Does art belong in a museum or gallery as standard? Not if it depends on the artist F.man. And as a response to the pioneering vision of HH Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid to transform Dubai in an open-air Museum, she feels empowered to take action on this idea. Alongside her exhibitions in several Museums she often has brought her work in non-conventional places because she believes that Art is supposed to be for everyone and it embellishes our environment. Art has the capacity to be noticed by our subconscious even when we didn’t notice consciously. It opens our mind to new possibilities, and make us dream away. So we start to make connections where we would not have done it before.
After have paint ‘the Transformation Wall’ 120 x 4 meter in Al Warqaa. F.man was contacted by Major Ahmed from Dubai Police to bring her light and vision on the Gold Souk. This historical part of Dubai, also the bustling trading core of Gold, Jewellry, Diamonds and much more, … is expanding into one of the most important gold and diamond centers worldwide.
This will be the first exhibition in this epic heritage center. Curated by F.man, she selected 7 Artist from all over the world all based in Dubai. Mariam Ketait from UAE, Fatima Nadia Rehman from Pakistan, Sheikha Salem Al Khayal from UAE, Erik Van der Schaft from The Netherlands, José Toledo Carballo from Mexico, Sylvain Trambley from Canada and F.man from Belgium are all creating other dimensions that open our minds to other possibilities. Between 25 and 30 Artworks will be floating above the heads of all passengers so that they get the possibility to dream away and sit down from their intense world.
It’s is a clear signal that Art is going to have a favorable impact on the image of the Gold Souk and upgrade it to an important attractive Landmark. The multicultural population that is trading there, deserves to be surrounded by more beauty.
To start the exhibition with a more interactive accent we invite you to discover several performances all connected to Gold. One performance is painting golden patterns on a black dressed lady. It is to show the symbolism how gold can change the monotony and that gold brings out the beauty of the women…
