Alexandra Munroe Instagram – In Riyadh, participating in the closing panel and ceremony of the inaugural Diriyah Biennial curated. The show,curated by Phil Tinari with Wejdan Reda, is a brilliant essay on the “aesthetics of reform,” presenting Saudi artists in the context of other critical reform movements, especially China. It is an intellectual feat and a curatorial triumph. The sense of euphoria here is palatable as artists respond to “the new Saudi” with fierce expression. The Guggenheim Abu Dhabi team thanks our best friend Alia al Senusi for making our visit possible, and we commend the great work of the Diriyah Biennial Foundation under leadership of Dina Amin and Aya Albakree.
