Looking at the World Around You. Contemporary Works from Qatar Museums
Feb. 09 2016 - Jun. 19 2016
Add to Calendar 09/02/2016 19/06/2016 Europe/Brussels Looking at the World Around You. Contemporary Works from Qatar Museums

Looking at the World Around You: Contemporary Works from Qatar Museums considers portraiture as a means for representing the people, places, and ideas that art witnesses and influences while also providing a portrait of a particular museum collection.

Mathaf: Arab Museum of Modern Art has the largest collection of art made in and around the Arab world and its cultural and historical connections, from Turkey to Sudan, from Morocco on the Atlantic to Japan on the Pacific.

The exhibition includes works that range from René Magritte to Wael Shawky and Shirin Neshat, traversing nearly two centuries of artistic production across three continents.

Conceiving of art as a way of looking at the world around you, of proposing a multitude of interpretations and ideas for changing perceptions, the exhibition is itself an invitation to look again and see anew; an invitation, in other words, to rethink the alignment of histories and how to make sense of the world today.
