In 2010, Bidoun Projects becomes the curatorial partner for Art Dubai, programming a dynamic set of exhibitions, artists’ projects, talks, and video programmes, which are presented alongside and interact with the Global Art Forum and the gallery booths and presentations.
Bidoun Projects aims to focus on commissioning and presenting new work by artists from the Middle East and its diaspora.
The projects are especially conceived for the fair and its environs, and include a curated show; artists’ performative tours of the fair; commissioned, site-specific projects by artists based in the UAE and throughout the region; and a new version of the Bidoun Library, the 'pop up' project space and resource room curated by artists that includes books, catalogues, music, film, and ephemera tracing art scenes and histories of the Middle East.
The Art Park will, once again, host a series of informal talks and workshops, complementing presentations at the Global Art Forum, and include a comprehensive Video Bar, plus daily screenings of four curated film and video programmes, presented by Bidoun and guest curators and artists from the network.
