The Third Line, Art Basel, Basel, 2019, Installation View
Statements, Hall 2.1, Booth N11
The Third Line participates in Art Basel's Statements sector with a solo presentation featuring new works by Farah Al Qasimi.
Farah’s latest body of work looks at domestic traditions of hospitality and interior decor witnessed across public and private spaces in the Gulf states. A ubiquitous mark of Britain’s presence in the region between 1820 and 1971, the local sense of style transpires through Rococo furniture, hand-carved fruits, curtains matching upholstery fabrics and an overall profusion of various gilded elements adorning local homes.
