The ADACH Platform for Visual Arts in Venice will be designed as a meeting point for discourse and artistic production. ... A dynamic dispositif of presentations and exchanges will introduce, through a visual narrative, the conditions in which contemporary culture and visual art are emerging in Abu Dhabi / UAE today. These conditions are mainly an amazing urban development framework, a multi-ethnic and multi-national population inventing new lifestyles, a reorganization of the region and its economical and geo-political dynamics and exchanges with the world, and development process engaged with an unprecedented phenomenon of time acceleration.
