Umm Al Emarat Park to Host Winning Installation of The Christo and Jeanne-Claude Award 2022

Abu Dhabi, UAE, 9 December 2022:  The Abu Dhabi Music & Arts Foundation (ADMAF) and NYU Abu Dhabi present “Urban Fabric”, the winning artwork of the tenth edition of The Christo and Jeanne-Claude Award, to be displayed at Umm Al Emarat Park from 9 to18 December. 

Visitors are invited to view and reflect upon the installation, a series of four sculptures resembling pieces of thread, conceptualized and built by NYUAD sophomore undergraduate students Roudhah Al Mazrouei, an Emirati national, Gerald Jason Cruz from the Philippines, and Jennifer Tsai from Taiwan. These forms are intertwined and interlaced into the ground, turning the physical environment around the art piece into a canvas that the thread is woven into, linking each piece together to represent the interconnected nature of our city.
