This past weekend I took in Art Dubai at the Mindanet Jumeirah (a shopping, dining, hotel, convention center complex). I was very impressed. They filled 2 large halls and part of a parking garage with exhibits.
There were artists represented from all over Asia, Europe, and Africa. Many of the Middle Eastern artists liked to incorporate Arabic writings and script into their works. It is a very aesthetic font.
The other medium that seems to be coming into vogue is using computer and video projection on canvas to enhance a story or experience. It was interesting to see an abstract canvas, which could stand alone as a work of art, become a burning forest or simple raindrops falling in a puddle.
Most of the art was for sale...and well-clear of my price range.
