Abu Dhabi Art 2015: Who Would You Dine With?

Canvas magazine conducted a video series at the 2015 Abu Dhabi Art fair, asking prominent figures in the Middle Eastern contemporary art scene to name the person they would most like to share a private, two-person meal with. The concept of a "tête-à-tête" meal, defined as an intimate dining experience without a third party, served as the prompt. The fair, held in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, brought together movers and shakers from the region's art world, including artists, curators, collectors, and gallerists. Their responses ranged from historical artists and cultural icons to contemporary peers and family members. The series aimed to reveal personal connections and inspirations within the art community. No specific interviewees or their answers are detailed in the source material.
