VCUarts Qatar to display Iraqi artists’ works

An exhibition titled ‘City Limits’ by emerging Iraqi artists Sajjad Abbas and Laith K Daer will take place at the Gallery at Virginia Commonwealth School of the Arts in Qatar (VCUarts Qatar) until December 9. 

'City Limits’ presents the works of Sajjad and Laith, artists and sometime collaborators who have developed their work in Baghdad, using the physical space and interactions within the city as a living organiser of how, and why, they work, according to a press statement. 

“Choreography, graffiti and documented public installation experiments comprise the exhibition. There are small moments, filmed inside throwaway cars, and large questions, hung boldly on the façcade of buildings. 

In between pleas of not to shoot, accusations and confessions, is the sincerity of defiance, close-ups and composed shots working not against, but in urgent, sustained opposition to silence,” the statement explained. 

The opening hours are Saturday to Thursday – from 9am to 5pm. Entrance to the exhibition is free and is open to the public.
