Saudi artist Ahaad Alamoudi’s first institutional solo exhibition, titled ‘Moving Mountains’, is centred around a playful and humorous new commission, alongside a survey of existing works
The first-ever institutional solo exhibition by Saudi artist Ahaad Alamoudi, this showcase explores and expands upon Alamoudi's deep interest in unpacking our relationships to rapidly changing societies and cultures. Bringing together new works, commissioned by Art Jameel, with existing works, ‘Moving Mountains’ situates Saudi Arabia’s natural and urban landscapes as sites of possibility, punctured by effort and powered by fantasy. Alamoudi's humorous and hopeful interpretations of familiar tropes and symbols invite visitors to navigate large-scale installation, performance and video through fluidity in form and meaning.
