Two exhibitions

Mathaf - Arab Museum of Modern Art, Doha

Two special exhibitions in Doha on November 17, 2012. Tea with Nefertiti: The Making of the Artwork by the Artist, the Museum and the Public, on view until March 31, 2013; and Forever Now: Five Anecdotes from the Permanent Collection, on view until June 1, 2013, highlight the work of contemporary vanguards and reexamine modernist pioneers from the Arab world. The first exhibition explores the mechanisms by which artworks come to acquire a range of meanings and functions that can embody a number of diverse narratives. It concerns itself with the critique of museology, the staging of the artwork, the writing of art-historical narratives and the employment of mechanisms of visual and literary display as a means of forming, informing and framing cultural otherness. Curated by Sam Bardaouil and Till Fellrath, Tea with Nefertiti features 25 international contemporary artists/collectives. Forever Now posits a new understanding of five diverse modern Arab artists: Fahrelnissa Zeid, Jewad Selim, Saliba Al-Doueihy, Salim Al-Dabbagh, and Ahmed Cherkaoui. Featuring 57 works from the collection, it examines artists' interactions with their immediate environments, histories, and cultures.
