In its largest edition to date, Art Dubai Modern will showcase 17 distinct presentations whereby each of the participating galleries will showcase works by one leading modernist artist. In doing so, the 2021 edition will engage visitors with a broad panorama of artistic practices hailing from a number of diverse cities in Egypt, India, Jordan, Lebanon, Morocco, Nigeria, Palestine and Turkey. Featuring its own design, the section will consist of archival and didactic materials, which curators Sam Bardaouil and Till Fellrath employ to contextualise the artworks on display, and advance their notion of Transmodernism as a way of reflecting on the heterogeneous expression of a multi-polar modernity.
