Art Bus!
7:38 AMThe past 4 days have been EXHAUSTING! I was an ArtGuide for an event called 'Art Dubai'. It was a four day long event which showcased some amazing artists from all around the world and opened my eyes to some pretty cool galleries in Dubai.
I haven't kept up with the art scene in Dubai so I was pretty amazed with what I saw. We went
through so many galleries and saw so much! But here are some pictures of (what I thought) were some of the interesting pieces.
So my job was to assist people on the bus. They get on at 10am, we stop at different galleries and then drop them off at 6pm.
our bus had pretty art on it
That's me and Edita
this piece is made entirely out of duct tape
This bull was just chilling at the entrance of a gallery. The exhibition's topic was 'Domination'. Which also explains the next two pictures
It reads 'everyday I wake up to find the world change while I sleep'
This piece is by Rebecca Rendell. Her exhibition was called 'Tension of Balance'.
Pretty lights! My photo does not do justice to this installation. I don't remember what it was called and I don't remember the concept behind it..but it was still beautiful.
This piece was called 'existence'. Each one of those charcoal rocks is hanging by a thread from the ceiling. SO BEAUTIFUL!
We also stopped at the 'Cartoon Art Gallery' which is the first gallery in Dubai to promote CARTOONS! Their exhibition was 'Batman' and it showcased the original animation cells from the series. The place was pretty cool :)

they have a little workstation with light tables upstairs
The next gallery had a live rooster! Poor guy looked bored
I also had a Vader spotting!
So much Art! There were a lot of pieces which were beautiful to look at, some made me think, and then there were some which made me go "really??". But the best comment was made by a British gentleman (who was on board) and he said, "Art is like religion. What you believe might not be believed by others, what you like might not be liked by others. Art is finally what you make of it and what you believe in."
Well said sir!
