Abstract:

Hassan Sharif was a pioneering "moderniser" in the Arabian Gulf region, re-shaping its aesthetic, social and political culture. Schooled in systems art at Central School of Art in England, he went on to pave the way for a generation of artists in the United Arab Emirates. Here, curator, artist, author, and museum director, Dr. Omar Kholeif reflects on the task of conserving the artist's legacy for younger generations, and considers how the artist shifted an ontological view of Dubai, and the world around it.
