The Plinth

The Plinth by Shaikha Al Mazrou embodies her aesthetic language, diverting materiality and creating dynamic forms with an interplay of tension and balance. The work references plinths, and its form allows other artists to create artworks that will be exhibited in relation to it. Al Mazrou intends the sculpture to function as a tool for future dialogue with other artists. The endless possibilities of these future collaborations will be guided through a set of rules and values contained in a document (The Manifesto), which is the result of an intensive discussion with a community of local artists.
