_________________________________________________________________________________________<\/p>\n\n\n\n The theme of the biennial, entitled “Awwal Bayt” (First Home<\/strong>), highlights how the Ka’bah and the Prophet’s Mosque in Medina create a sense of belonging<\/strong> among Muslims around the world, in reference to their own homes (bayt). The exhibition is divided into two distinct parts. The inner part will focus on the sacred direction (qiblah)<\/strong>, which represents the prayer towards the Ka’bah<\/strong>, while the outer part will be dedicated to the migration (hijrah<\/strong>), evoking the Prophet Muhammad’s journey from Mecca to Medina. The biennial showcases the art and creativity of Islamic culture, both in the past and in the present.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Yazid Oulab participates in this artistic and cultural event to be held in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, from January 23 to May 23, 2023.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":13921,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[547,545],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-13885","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-info-artist","category-off-site"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/preprod.galerieloft.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13885","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/preprod.galerieloft.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/preprod.galerieloft.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/preprod.galerieloft.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/preprod.galerieloft.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=13885"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/preprod.galerieloft.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13885\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":17564,"href":"https:\/\/preprod.galerieloft.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13885\/revisions\/17564"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/preprod.galerieloft.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/13921"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/preprod.galerieloft.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=13885"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/preprod.galerieloft.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=13885"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/preprod.galerieloft.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=13885"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
Yazid Oulab, Algerian artist, presentstwo distinct series in the framework <\/strong>of the biennial of Islamic arts.
The first series, entitled “Les Orants Habit\u00e9s Par Leur Espace I-VI” <\/em>(1998), is composed of works on paper representing kneeling, standing, and prostrate figures. Made with olive oil, these works give off an aura similar to a radiance, in amber tones. They evoke rootedness and incarnation, with motifs reminiscent of tree rings.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
The second series, ink drawings on paper, is entitled “Elevation, On Line 1, On Line 2, Meditation 2, Resonance 1, Resonance 2”<\/em> (2006). These drawings are characterized by repetitive lines and brushstrokes, creating abstract gatherings of seemingly solitary devotees.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The location of the biennale, also known as the Canopy Terminal, will be a 70,000 square meter purpose-built space that will include facilities such as exhibition spaces, a theater, a mosque, workshops, classrooms dedicated to programming, as well as retail and restaurant space. This initiative by the Diriyah Biennale Foundation aims to promote Islamic culture and establish Jeddah as a center of art and creativity.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
