Pious Gifts, Lamp Story - Learn the history of giving mosque lamps in Islamic traditions, and inspect an earthenware bowl for a lesson in hospitality.

Belief in divine reward, combined with traditional ideas of benevolence and kindness, as well as personally and politically motivated obligation and compensation, helped shape an Islamic model of giving Pious Gifts to a mosque, shrine, or other religious institution.

Pair of Bracelets Story, Personal Gifts - View the animated illustration about the giving of paired bracelets as part of a bride’s dowry, and read below about an Ottoman crystal comb with origins in the medieval era.

Even Personal Gifts were produced in a courtly context and may have been given or received by the ruling elite, though they suggest a more intimate connection between husband and wife, friends, or family members. They include objects of personal adornment and precious yet everyday objects such as vessels, paintings, and manuscripts.

We have the pleasure to invite you to the opening of the exhibition Unparalleled Objectives by the artist duo Christto Sanz and Andrew Weir, on May 5 at 7:00pm, in presence of the artists.

Their subjects represent everyday misconceptions of Arab and Middle Eastern cultures in a multicultural context and the exchange and transactions which take place under such settings.

Qatar Museums Authority to Present Murakami – Ego

A New Exhibition by Japanese Artist Takashi Murakami

On View February 9 – June 24, 2012 in Doha, Qatar

Doha, October 7, 2011: Qatar Museums Authority (QMA) is proud to announce a new major exhibition by Takashi Murakami, the artist’s first solo exhibition in the Middle East. Murakami – Ego will be on view from February 9 to June 24, 2012 in the Al-Riwaq exhibition hall, located on the grounds of the Museum of Islamic Art on Doha’s Corniche. The exhibition will immerse visitors in a fantasy world conceived by the renowned Japanese artist, capturing the way Murakami channels the ecstasy and anxiety of contemporary culture.

Following major retrospectives at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles, and at the Château de Versailles, Murakami – Ego is the final chapter in a trilogy of exhibitions that have established Takashi Murakami as one of the most fascinating artists working today. This new exhibition, curated by Massimiliano Gioni, will feature more than 60 works from 1997 to the present, on loan from leading international institutions and private collections, as well as several new works created especially for this show.

Murakami – Ego is part of a series of cultural initiatives organized by the QMA to promote and support local and international art, foster conversations about artists and popular culture, and build bridges between cultures. At the time of the opening of Murakami – Ego, QMA also will present Cai Guo-Qiang: Saraab at Mathaf: Arab Museum of Modern Art.

“Qatar Museums Authority is pleased to present the work of renowned Japanese artist Takashi Murakami in Doha, for his first solo exhibition in the Middle East,” said Qatar Museums Authority Chairperson Her Excellency Sheikha Al Mayassa bint Hamad bin Khalifa Al-Thani. “The exhibition continues to advance QMA’s mission to encourage global cultural dialogue and exchange, as well as launch the 2012 celebration of forty years of diplomatic relations between Qatar and Japan.”

A portrait of the artist as a cartoon, Murakami – Ego will illuminate the role of the artist as a cipher and critic of pop phenomena, as well as a mirror of global networks of consumerism, interpretation, and exchange. The exhibition pays special attention to the diverse strands of contemporary culture and art history that inform and inspire Murakami’s paintings and sculptures, while also highlighting both the joyful and obsessive qualities of his work. The provocative title is drawn from Murakami’s desire to create an exhibition that is “a dialogue with one’s own ego,” reflecting the artist’s struggle to create a private fictional universe in response to a growing information overload.
