“Out of Kuwait” Exhibition At The Museum of Modern Art Kuwait
Click image above to zoom!
The Contemporary Art Platform (CAP), British Council Kuwait and the National Council for Culture, Arts and Letters, will celebrate “Out of Kuwait” who brings together the work of twelve Kuwait-based artists who have examined and reinterpreted the theme of landscape art during a one month artist residency programme called “Landscapes Expanded.” The exhibition presents the artists’ analysis of their everyday surroundings and comments on the social, political, and physical landscapes of contemporary Kuwait.
This unique opportunity was inspired by the best of Britain’s Landscape artists, whose work is seen in the British Council’s “Out of Britain”exhibition currently open at Contemporary Art Platform Kuwait. The programme has given artists living in Kuwait the chance to explore contemporary issues related to site, space and place in their field of work.
Landscapes Expanded was open to candidates from all creative and academic disciplines with the understanding that this would create a trans-disciplinary forum for thinking and working. Each participant’s expertise and experience in their own field helped to inform the work generated by the rest of the group. For individuals outside of formal education this type of stimulating platform is rare. Led by artist and curator Alia Farid Abdal, who explores personal perspectives of public space and constructed landscapes in her own art work and academic research. Participating in the programme are architects Aziz Al Humaidhi and Roa AlShaheen, architecture undergraduate Amani Adel Al Thuwaini, spatial designer Aseel Al Yaqoub, Religion, Literature and Arts graduate, Nima Algooneh, English Literature graduate, Zahra Al Mahdi, jewellery designer, Muneera Al Sharhan, painters Lewis Chapman and Eman Musallem, English and American Literature graduate Faisal Hamadah, journalist Naser Al Wasmi, and Middle East Studies graduate, Ceyda Oskay.

Indian Embassy presents Art Exhibition,Q8
The Embassy of India will present Dr. Tahseen Khan’s art work at an exhibition aptly titled “Be the Change”, at the Bayt Lothan Gallery. Ambassador of India will inaugurate the Exhibition on April 16, 2012 at 6 pm, and the display will continue on April 17 and 18, 2012.
Dr. Tahseen Khan’s passion for life in its varied hues is mirrored in her myriad colors on canvas. Dr. Khan creatively uses mixed media in her art as a language when words no longer do justice to describe a spectacular seaside sunset or a bustling South Indian village landscape.
Art is also her call to action, so with just a different twist of her brush, her colors can evoke a burning desire to take a stand on important issues. Her pieces such as “Despite all Odds”, “War and Peace”, “Liberation” and “Give Me a Chance” depict issues such as social disquiet, disasters and gender discrimination. However, there is something in all of them that gives us hope for a better tomorrow, only if we can “Be the Change”.
Dr. Khan use art as an outlet to decompress from the intensity of work as a Pediatrician in Kuwait. It calms her soul and gives meaning to life.
