The exhibition will offers the opportunity to discover these artists’ interpretation of transparency through visual and perceptional significance. Curated by Maya El Khalil, the sculptures and installations featured this year employ the interplay of sunlight, shadows and water reflections.

Curator Maya El Khalil said: “Reviewing the proposals for Louvre Abu Dhabi's third Art Here exhibition was an inspiring challenge. The jury was struck by the wealth of thought-provoking submissions that offered fresh perspectives, expanding the theme of Transparencies in surprising ways. They work ambitiously with materials, challenge historical narratives, and invite reflection on urgent issues with local and global impact.

"Selecting just seven installations was difficult but rewarding. Together, the chosen pieces offer an intriguing dialogue through their diverse mediums, interpretations and concepts. I'm thrilled these artists have the opportunity to showcase their practice in one of the world's most extraordinary museum settings and I look forward to the coming months of development."
