EXTERNAL

NEW ART FROM FURTHER EAST

This 25 to 31 October 2010, Newertown | Art is organising External: New Art from Further East, its second art exhibition featuring young artists from the Middle East, Iran and Turkey. Curated by Juan Carlos Farah, it is a showcase of innovative paintings, photographs and video installation. An exploration and insight into the thriving art world of further east, this exhibition invites its audience to address the importance and shortcomings of individuality and tradition in a region frequently subject to clichés and misconceptions.

Throughout the week, there will be a number of events to promote the artists' work and make External a true celebration of art and culture. These include two performances of short plays by new and established playwrights, a late night viewing, a panel discussion and a film screening.

Athier | Noor Al Suwaidi | Asad Faulwell | Ruba Asfahani | Cyrus Mahboubian | Saeed Taji Farouky | Eda Aksoy | Shirine Osseiran
