Question what ‘doing nothing’ looks like with The Clock Doesn’t Care at 421
Mona Ayyash is a UAE-based artist participating in the 421 Artistic Development Program. The program allows locally based artists to develop a major body of work culminating in a solo exhibition. The Clock Doesn’t Care is Ayyash’s first solo exhibition that presents a collaborative video piece. It’s a study of repetitive non-functional movements, without purpose or productivity. It questions the tension between passing time and wasting time.
When: Until 25 August, Tuesday to Sunday from 10 AM to 8 PM
Where: 421 in Mina Zayed
