The Sharjah Cube

Installation

Sharjah Biennale

Sharjah, UAE (1999)

This installation is a collaborative work initiated and facilitated by Nasser Soumi. The artist invited 29 other artists participating in the 4th edition of Sharjah Biennial to suggest and produce a small work to be included in his cube.

​

These site-specific works included personal material as well as found objects in the markets of the city including artefacts and elements from Sharjah’s environment.

​

The final installation was in the form of a monumental cube with four windows inviting the spectator to discover the different boxes displayed inside and produced by the different artists.

​

 

This installation deals with the globalization in the context of large international exhibitions but also tackles the issue of authorship in the creation of collaborative artworks.
