Overview

Curated by Peter Lewis, Sharjah Art Foundation presents a selection of artists’ works from the online journal /seconds. (2004-2014), which covers a broad range of issues and art practices from different cultural perspectives. The project was initiated in 2004 and has invited over 1500 artists and writers to contribute over the years. The exhibition features key contributors from the ten year period, in tandem with Lewis' curatorial projects. Works on display include installations, interactive performance, video, photography and several hundred commissioned posters. The opening will also include performances by French artist and singer Fabienne Audéoud, Al Fadhil's audience participation of Baghdad Cafe, and a unique screening of Judith Cowan's film, Angelica.
