The Future of A Promise: Contemporary Art from the Middle East in Venice

A recent article in the New York Times recently described Arab contemporary art as the 'new darlings of the art world' and it seems that they are right.

The Future of a Promise has been dubbed the largest Pan-Arab show of contemporary art at the 54th International Art Exhibition (la bienale di Venezia). Its probably the largest and most diverse exhibition of its kind to be hosted in Europe and includes a range of artists from Iraq, Tunisia and other Gulf states.

The art comes in different mediums including installation, performance and photography, to video, sculpture and painting...and it gets better Its totally FREE!

At the moment im trying to contemplate how i can try and convince my Husband to book a weekend trip to Venice so i can go to the exhibition and have until the 20th of November (exhibition closing date) to figure out a decent excuse, let the thinking begin...
