Dyala Nusseibeh, Director, Abu Dhabi Art, said: “Introducing complimentary access to the fair fulfills a great ambition for us, in providing an opportunity for a wide audience to engage with the cultural programming that the art fair has to offer, whilst maintaining our commercial DNA as a space for the sale and acquisition of artworks. With the strength of gallery presentations, exhibitions, artist commissions, art workshops and talks at the fair there is something for a diverse range of visitors to experience and we look forward to welcoming all the public through this new initiative. We are pleased to have found a partner in Charles Zuber and the Mohamad Hilal Group, with whom we share a passion for supporting creativity and innovation in the cultural sphere. Excitingly, Charles Zuber will essentially be born at Abu Dhabi Art this year, leaving us with a special legacy to support.”
We are pleased to bring the world of Charles Zuber to life at the Abu Dhabi Art Fair through the eyes of dimension, motion and distortion. The Charles Zuber world is a manifestation of Neo-Swiss luxury with a daring edge, escaping the predictable and entering a realm of exuberance with a close association to the art world.
