Nasser Alsalem's Amma QablВ structure is an elegantly simple gesture that spans past and present: a passage-way, its circumference shaped by calligraphic letter forms that read Amma Qabl (loosely meaning вЂwhat precedesвЂ™). The exhibition emerges as an exploration of desert culture and aims to boost a cross-cultural dialogue between artists from Saudi Arabia and its surrounding region and artists from previous iterations of Desert X in California, taking its cues from the extraordinary landscape and historical significance of AlUla. The artwork is an ode to AlUlaвЂ™s agricultural wealth its plentiful palm tree groves that have fueled the areaвЂ™s trade for generations and the springs of water that have sustained them.Дesert X AlUla was arranged as the first site-responsive exhibition of its kind in Saudi Arabia.
