Art Dubai today announced the list of participating galleries at its 2023 edition, which will take place at Madinat Jumeirah.
The leading global platform for art and artists from the Middle East and Global South, Art Dubai’s 16th edition will present over 100 galleries from 43 countries across four sections: Contemporary, Modern, Bawwaba and Art Dubai Digital. The 2023 fair will include 30 first-time participants and over 60% of the gallery programme is drawn from the Global South, reaffirming Art Dubai’s position as the leading marketplace for art from this region.
Participating galleries and artists include: Circle Art Gallery (Nairobi) with Dickens Otieno; PARLIAMENT (Paris) with Achraf Touloub; Silverlens Galleries (Manila / New York) with Gregory Halili; Yeo Workshop (Singapore) with Maryanto; and Hunna Art Gallery (Abu Dhabi Sharjah) with Moza Almatrooshi.
This edition of Art Dubai Modern is curated by Paris-based critic and curator, Mouna Mekouar and Italian art historian Lorenzo Giusti (director, GAMeC, Bergamo) and features solo presentations by the region’s Modern masters, reinforcing Art Dubai’s commitment to curatorial scholarship and art historical research. The selection focuses on the pioneers of contemporary art in the MENASA area, whose works are retrospectively playing a key role in today’s art and, by extension, a key role in art history and reflecting the cultural richness and diversity of the region.
Art Dubai’s Artistic Director Pablo del Val commented: “Art Dubai is a global fair, and the strength of the applications we received for our 2023 edition reflect Art Dubai’s increasing importance as the region’s premier art event, the gateway to the Global South and the maturing of the art market here in Dubai. We’re particularly pleased to welcome so many first-time exhibitors into the Art Dubai family. Dubai is rapidly developing into a global financial and technology hub – the city is booming, and is a place that generations of people from all over the world call home.”
It is to take place from the 3rd to 5 thMarch 2023, with previews on Wednesday 1st and Thursday 2nd March.
The full programme for Art Dubai 2023 will be announced in December 2022.
