Found out about this exhibit through Facebook:
The essence of living in an urban environment is the forced interaction between people of different social backgrounds, outlooks etc. In Kuwait, where pedestrian culture is nonexistent, people are trapped, encapsulated in bubbles: in walled-off homes, cars, diwaniyas and beach houses. Chronic boredom is rampant. Music video channels, for example, are mushrooming due to their role as a platform for anonymous public communication. Confessions of love and notes of introduction appear as scrolling text messages at the bottom of TV screens. Cruising is a lifestyle, where the geezi, the young, idle male, is the ultimate cruiser. What this show proposes is that everyone is a geezi, by cruising through the filters of the internet, TV, cellphone-to-cellphone Bluetooth technology and other forms of indirect contact.
A group show featuring the work of Khalid Al Gharaballi, Fatima Al Qadiri, Tareq Al Sultan, Bassem Mansour, Monira Al Qadiri, Lauren Boyle and The Bruce High-Quality Foundation.
Curated by Fatima Al Qadiri and Khalid Al Gharaballi.

It’s nice to see more culture in Kuwait
it’s nice to enrich the culture sense in Kuwait
the facebook effect, 2 facebook related posts in 2 days 😛
There is the select few who our rich culture is lost on, they are not interested because they are not enticed to it. And then there are the others, who are engrossed in everything that is Kuwait. I hope soon, for the good of our world, that there will be atleast an intermediate faction. That would be an improvement.
Mark,
I don’t understand what this is? Is this a continuous two day show???
What is it anyway? Is it a PLAY?
Clarifications, please 🙂 !
