Space: Louvre Abu Dhabi
Nicène Kossentini’s work is on view at Art Here 2024 in Louvre Abu Dhabi for this year’s thematic edition “Awakenings”.
Nicène Kossentini’s work ‘Landscapes’ is a poetic exploration of disappearance through the slow alteration of landscapes beneath translucent wax. This installation invites viewers to contemplate the subtle, often invisible transformations of life and environment, reflecting on the fragility and impact of human actions with a sense of “gentle violence”.
The finalists for the Richard Mille Art Prize were selected by a distinguished five-member jury, led by H.H. Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan bin Khalifa Al Nahyan, an Advisor to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA), Chairman of UAE Unlimited, an art collector, and a patron of the Centre Pompidou, the British Museum and Sharjah Art Foundation. Joining him are Dr. Guilhem André, Director of Scientific Curatorial and Collection Management at Louvre Abu Dhabi, Simon Njami, Art Here 2024 exhibition guest curator, Nujoom Alghanem, a renowned Emirati poet, artist and multi-award-winning film director, and Maya Allison, the founding director of the Art Gallery and Chief Curator at New York University Abu Dhabi.
