March 4, 2010

 The Armory Show, Open Forum Lounge, Pier 92

ART MIDDLE EAST, in collaboration with ArteEast, presents: "Emergence of a New World: Collecting Contemporary Art from the Middle East" as part of The Armory Show's OPEN FORUM, an eclectic series of conversations and panels featuring top figures in the art world.

Contemporary art from the Middle East is a vibrant and ever-expanding field in which issues of context, access, and translation are continually re-negotiated. Art Middle East presents a discussion with several artists, curators, and dealers that engage with these issues in representing the field to an international audience. With artists Diana Al-Hadid and Kamrooz Aram, Thaddeus Ropac (Galerie Thaddeus Ropac, Paris) and Andreé Sfeir-Semler (Galerie Sfeir-Semler, Beirut and Hamburg).  Moderated by New York Times Art Critic Benjamin Genocchio.
