Fred Eerdkens and Mohammed Kazam
Poetics and Meanings
6 May – 15 June 2013

‘Fred Eerdekens and Mohammed Kazem hold the material and the ephemeral in a tight dialectic to elicit alternative modes of seeing in their collaborative exhibition at the gallery.

Mohammed Kazem has been selected to represent the UAE at the Venice Biennale, with a solo presentation curated by Reem Fadda, Associate Curator of Middle Eastern Art for the Guggenheim Abu Dhabi project.

Kazem will feature a specially comissioned work from the ‘Directions’ series, which he has been working on, intermitently, for the past decade.
