Book Description | Sites of Memory, Sites of Amnesia accompanies Abdullah Al Saadi’s solo exhibition in the National Pavilion UAE at the 60th International Art Exhibition at La Biennale di Venezia. A prominent figure in the contemporary art scene of the UAE, Abdullah Al Saadi is a wanderer, chronicler, cartographer, poet, decipherer, memory carrier, and storyteller. The publication explores the poetic constellations that guide his practice through contributions from Sultan Sooud Al Qassemi (scholar, educator, collector, and eminent cultural figure in the UAE), Dr Aisha Bilkhair (scholar and keen observer of the social and cultural realms), and Younes Mashish (pseudonym; literary scholar). It also features chronicles from eight of the artist's journeys in the wilderness, which include drawings, paintings, and excerpts from the artist’s diary. |
