Idea Code |
The publication accompanies Sites of Memory, Sites of Amnesia – the solo exhibition by Abdullah Al Saadi at the National Pavilion UAE at the 60th International Art Exhibition.The publication invites an immersion into the artist’s singularly subjective universe, offering reflection and meditation rather than explanation or analysis. Abdullah Al Saadi’s poetic, expansive, and complex practice dwells outside the Western canons of contemporary art. Rather than attempt to box it within categories and labels, we grant the catalog’s readers the privileged possibility of witnessing and following the journeys. Al Saadi is a wanderer, chronicler, cartographer, poet, decipherer, alchemist, memory carrier, and storyteller. At the heart of the publication is the first comprehensive and consequential chronicle of eight journeys in the wilderness, the beings and objects that accompanied him, and the sensate record of his experience. Each journey’s chronicle becomes manifest in formally and materially distinct ways, which the artist packs and stores differently each.
