Description
Art in Saudi Arabia: A New Creative Economy? The role of contemporary art is poised to take centre stage in Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030 strategy, as the country mobilizes its vast resources behind sweeping internal reform and cultural diplomacy. A barrage of planned events, installations, public projects, biennales, and museum openings is drawing in the international art community, setting a new standard for the region. This book explores both the historic and contemporary contexts for Saudi Arabia's recent focus on art, examining the opportunities and pitfalls for the burgeoning art world, as well as practitioners and professionals globally. It delves into the scale and ambition of these initiatives, and how they stand apart from similar projects in the region. By examining the intersection of art, culture, and economics, this book offers a nuanced understanding of the complex dynamics at play in Saudi Arabia's creative landscape.
