Art exhibits in Kuwait are common, they usually take place at a gallery, the work goes up for some time and then it’s done. So when I found about the exhibit “Nothing to Write Home About” I was intrigued. Firstly they didn’t call it an exhibit, instead, they called it an intervention.
“Nothing to Write Home About” treats art as a consumerist activity. They intervened into the KIPCO mall space with a collection of works from a private collection that were previously stored in Kuwait. The works are visible from the storefront… but you can’t enter the store. This is to force you to think about other things related to the work, and not the work itself. There is a booklet for this intervention with notes, but even the notes aren’t about the works, but about the subjects the works bring up.
It’s a visually interesting display so if you’re interested in dropping by, check out the event page for more info [Here]

This feels like something Banksy would come up with in his spare time between projects lol.
If u got confused by the exhibit name, that does not mean we all have to get confused by ur post title,, it’s unfair (-_-)
I respect authenticity in exhibitions,, something that relates to a land, era or a craft …etc.
