Kamrooz Aram feature video for ArtAsiaPacific 2011

Posted on June 2, 2011 by

As you remember in our previous posts, Art Dubai 2011, found Green Art Gallery with a solo stand for the regional debut of NY based artist Kamrooz Aram. During the fair Ashley Rawling’s of ArtAsiaPacific talked to Kamrooz about his work in a touristic carpet shop located in a neighboring ‘Souk’.  The fact that his work takes an interest in the idea and the subjectivity of Kitsch and the orientalist nature of commodities emerging from the region, was only emphasized by the feature’s surroundings. Check out the fantastic video here:

About Green Art Gallery

Green Art Gallery was first established in 1995, and was a key player in the development of major modern Arab artists in the region. In late 2008, keeping only the name intact, Green Art Gallery went through a complete rebranding and restructuring of its identity, artist roster, and curatorial focus. In 2010 the gallery relocated to a 3000 sqft warehouse space which allowed for the innovative and ambitious projects which were to follow. Central to the curatorial program are contemporary artists of all media from the Middle East, North Africa, South East Asia, and Turkey, who rely heavily on a research-based practice. Most recently the gallery has continued to grow with the additions of internationally renowned and emerging artists including Hale Tenger, Kamrooz Aram, and Shadi Habib Allah to the artist roster.
