This bilingual publication features a text, Feel Nice, by Shumon Basar, reflecting on Al Qasimi’s practice and the tropes she uses in her work, moving from the intimacy of domestic interiors to lively colourful public spaces of leisure and consumption.

Drawn largely from the Art Jameel Collection, Artist’s Rooms is a series of solo exhibitions by influential, innovative artists, with particular focus on practitioners from the Middle East, Asia and Africa. These capsule shows are collaborative and curated in dialogue with the artist.

Farah is an artist working with photography, video and performance. Her practice over the years has moved fluidly between private and public spaces, but the content has primarily remained focussed on locating the fantastic in the everyday. She also explores how consumer culture seduces people, particularly women, with promises of beauty or self-improvement.

Shumon Basar is a writer. He is the author of Do You Often Confuse Love with Success and with Fame? and some of his (co)edited books include Translated By, Cities from Zero and Hans Ulrich Obrist Interviews: Volume 2. He's Editor-at-Large at Tank magazine, Contributing Editor at Bidoun magazine, director of Format at the AA School, London, an advisor to the Fondazione Prada, Milan and Commissioner of the Global Art Forum in Dubai, the city where his novel World!World!World! is set.
