ABU DHABI / WAM

Abu Dhabi Tourism and Culture Authority (TCA Abu Dhabi) announced on Monday the second exhibition of the Guggenheim Abu Dhabi collection, “The Creative Act: Performance – Process – Presence”, at Manarat Al Saadiyat on Saadiyat Island. The exhibition, which will run from March 8, 2017, will bring together artists of different nationalities and generations who have emphasised performance, process, and human presence in their practice, offering a transcultural perspective on these defining aspects of contemporary art.
The exhibition follows the 2014 exhibition Seeing Through Light: Selections from the Guggenheim Abu Dhabi Collection, which welcomed more than 90,000 visitors and presented artworks from the Guggenheim Abu Dhabi collection for the first time. Saif Saeed Ghobash, Director General of TCA Abu Dhabi, said, “Abu Dhabi has become a vibrant cultural destination through unique public engagement programmes establishing an interactive dialogue between Abu Dhabi and the world, and creating its own cultural characteristic around its urban and contemporary landscapes.”
