As with many art panel discussions there was a small crowd consisting mainly of friends and documentors rather than 'audience'.Ī question: "How do contemporary UAE artists compare to international artists?"Answer: UAE contemporary art is about communication, localised communication - the possibilities that can be made through computers/internet and language to create a form of artistic 'globalisation'. Debates filtered up to me on the perennial problems of Eastern/Western art, art education and its relative qualities, what defines an artist of any particular location etc. I was woken to the sound of a panel discussion in the courtyard below (my alarm clock would be the call to prayer for the rest of the week). Early into my first evening in Dubai I fell asleep in the taxi on the way to some pre-Art Dubai junket and ended up in the wrong hotel, so instead headed back to the XVA gallery, where I was staying, and continued to sleep.
