We are looking forward to the debut of The
Arab Museum of Modern Art, Mathaf, on December 30th, 2010 in
Doha, Qatar. The press preview will be on Tuesday December 14, 2010. The inaugural exhibition to be featured is
Sajjil: A Century of Modern Art curated by Dr. Nada Shabout.
Sajjil meaning ‘to record’. This museum is worthy to note in the region as it is an institution that is focused on growing the region’s appreciation of the arts in a manner that advocates local talent rather than the franchising and branding of
museums. We also like this museum as the Chief
Curator, Wassan Al-Khudhairi, posted no restrictions on art work that includes nudity or political scenes. The institution aims to be a location for people to visit and start a dialog with others and thus challenging the people’s though process.
