The exhibition presents Daniele Genadry’s work Blind Light (2017) in addition to new works based on her recent research in la Rochelle and Cassis, France and the Grand Canyon, USA. Genadry works with various media to examine how distance, light and movement affect visual experiences. Her practice focuses on the relationship between painting and photography, exploring the potential of an image to generate its own temporality (through light) and how a mediated field of vision can sensitize our perception.
Drawn largely from the Art Jameel Collection, Artist’s Rooms is a series of solo exhibitions by influential, innovative artists, with a particular focus on practitioners from the Middle East, Asia and Africa. These capsule shows are collaborative and curated in dialogue with the artist. Autumn 2022 – Winter 2023 features rooms by Ayesha Sultana, Risham Syed and Daniele Genadry in galleries 1, 2, 3.
