The Making of the Land by artist Reem Al Ghaith

Reem Al Ghaith, a recent graduate in Visual Communication from AUS's College of Architecture, Art and Design. Reem's work has been shown internationally, including the Haus der Kunst, Munich, Germany (2010), the Centre Pompidou, Musée National d´Art Moderne, Paris (2010), the Sharjah Biennial (2009), the Emirates Palace Hotel, Abu Dhabi (2009), the Vitra Design Museum, Weil An Rhein, Germany (2008) the Tashkeel Gallery, Dubai (2008) and House 69, Bastakiya, Dubai (2008).

Reem will be discussing her latest piece, The Making of the Land, which is currently visible at the 54th Venice Biennale until November 27. As Reem explains, she is "driven by the landscapes, buildings and construction sites of [her] city, Dubai." The exploration of living in a city that is constantly evolving has contributed to Reem's concept of cultural identity, which is often the basis of her work.
