After completing his studies in England, Hassan Sharif pioneered conceptual performative art in his home country, the UAE. One definitive ‘happening’ in 1985, documented in card-mounted photographs, was a one-day exhibition staged at the Central Market, Sharjah, with artist Abdulrahim Salem. The show included, among other items, geometric paintings laid horizontally under and over water bottles.
