Renowned artist, curator, and producer Rami Farook presents “An Untitled Exhibition,” a solo exhibition born from his connection with Jeddah. This exhibition offers a glimpse into the multifaceted themes that Rami explores, such as artificial intelligence, faith, construction, and time. It transcends traditional art presentation paradigms, blurring the lines between gallery space ownership and inviting collaboration with the audience. Rami’s creative process embodies a journey of thinking, feeling, envisioning, creating, and sharing. With the support of the gallery, peers, and the public, “Reset” promises to be a dynamic, budget-conscious, interactive, and accessible exploration of Jeddah’s ever-evolving landscape.
