Abu Dhabi Art presents live and interactive performances, including Hours and Colours, a programme that progresses with the precision of a clock punctuated by performing art moments that stand out and mark the experience of every visitor with ever-changing interactive content.
Inspired by the French Gothic manuscript Les Tres Riches Heures du Duc de Berry (c.1410) (The very Rich Hours of the Duke of Berry), which references the techniques of illumination and calligraphy that are common points in both Islamic and Occidental Art, Hours and Colours will articulate these connections in a programme that includes: “Blue, a true color in Art”, a video screening with music by Nils Frahm, featuring works of art from Ancient Egypt to the modern day; “Killer Road” by legendary artist and musician Patti Smith, Jesse Smith and Soundwalk Collectives, a sound exploration and meditation on the idea of perpetual motion and the cycle of life and death; “Nioun Rec” (Only us) by Amala Dianor, an improvised dialogue between music and dance; and “Rising Carpet” an activated art-installation by Moussa Sarr.
Hours and Colours is curated by Fabrice Bousteau.
