The exhibition opens to the public tomorrow 6th October and will run until 12th February 2022.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"animate fadeInUp animated\" style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-animation=\"fadeInUp\" data-duration=\"300\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">With more than 200 artworks on display, visitors can explore the cultural and artistic exchange between the Chinese and Islamic worlds from the 8th to the 18th century. A rich cultural programme will accompany the exhibition, offering an array of events, from dragon boating to kayak cinema and family film screenings.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Organised by Louvre Abu Dhabi in partnership with Mus\u00e9e national des arts asiatiques &#8211; Guimet and France Mus\u00e9ums, the exhibition is curated by Sophie Makariou, President of Mus\u00e9e national des arts asiatiques &#8211; Guimet, with the support of Dr. Souraya Noujaim, Louvre Abu Dhabi\u2019s Scientific, Curatorial and Collections Management Director, and Guilhem Andr\u00e9, Louvre Abu Dhabi\u2019s Chief Curator of Asian and Medieval Art.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">The artworks in &#8216;Dragon and Phoenix&#8217; represent long-lasting dialogue between China (the dragon) and the Islamic world (the phoenix), chosen from the collections of Louvre Abu Dhabi and Mus\u00e9e national des arts asiatiques &#8211; Guimet, alongside those of 12 international museums and institutions. The exhibition delves into the cultural exchange and prolific artistic production between the two worlds resulting in coveted luxury materials and artworks across a span of more than 800 years.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">On this occasion, Manuel Rabat\u00e9, Director of Louvre Abu Dhabi, said, &#8220;Through the poetic title of &#8216;Dragon and Phoenix&#8217;, the many interpretations of these two fantastical creatures evoke the significant artistic exchange between two great cultures. The flourishing artistic production, the exquisite objects and materials that came from these two civilisations, brought together across land and sea, is extraordinary. We cannot wait for visitors to experience this fascinating exhibition. My sincere thanks to Sophie Makariou, the Mus\u00e9e national des arts asiatiques &#8211; Guimet, the Mus\u00e9e du Louvre, the Shanghai Museum and all our lending partners, without whom Dragon and Phoenix would not have been possible.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Visitors will be taken on a journey organised in five chapters, through both land and sea trade routes, to explore the connections, artistic influences and remarkable untold stories, beginning from the establishment of the first Arab merchant colonies in Canton in the 8th century until the threshold of the 18th century. \u2018The Islamic world\u2019 references the regions that include countries, cultures and ethnic groups, who shared their affiliation to Islam during this period, such as the Mashriq region, Eastern Africa, Central Asia, the Indian Subcontinent and South-East Asia.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">From her side, Sophie Makariou, President of Mus\u00e9e national des arts asiatiques &#8211; Guimet, said, &#8220;From the 8th century up to the beginning of the 18th century, the Islamic world never ceased to regard China as an ideal of technical achievement and beauty, while the Islamic world supplied China with precious luxury objects in metal and glass. This unique exhibition deals with this long history of cultural interactions, of material and immaterial exchanges, and with peaceful relations between those two high-world cultures.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Dr. Souraya Noujaim, Scientific, Curatorial and Collections Management Director at Louvre Abu Dhabi, said, &#8220;This exhibition brings mythical creatures, dragon and phoenix among many others, on precious objects to life. Textiles, jades, lacquer, silks and ceramics circulated from the Middle Kingdom to the shores of the Mediterranean and inspired production of both cultures. The circulation of persons and manufactured goods through diplomatic, commercial and cultural exchanges is at the core of this exhibition. The five dramatic chapters reveal a story of mutual influences where external inputs and processes of transfer did not undermine the longevity of aesthetic expression, but on the contrary stimulated its creativity.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Lending institutions for the &#8216;Dragon and Phoenix&#8217; exhibition include: Mus\u00e9e national des arts asiatiques &#8211; Guimet, Mus\u00e9e du Louvre, Shanghai Museum, Mus\u00e9e du quai Branly &#8211; Jacques Chirac, Archives nationales, Cit\u00e9 de la c\u00e9ramique &#8211; S\u00e8vres et Limoges, Biblioth\u00e8que nationale de France, Mus\u00e9e de Cluny &#8211; mus\u00e9e national du Moyen \u00c2ge, Mus\u00e9e des Arts D\u00e9coratifs, Mus\u00e9e Jacquemart-Andr\u00e9 &#8211; Institut de France, Mus\u00e9e national de la Renaissance &#8211; Ch\u00e2teau d\u2019Ecouen, Mus\u00e9um national d\u2019Histoire Naturelle and Mus\u00e9e des Tissus de Lyon.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Cultural and Education Programming The programming for &#8216;Dragon and Phoenix&#8217; is a sensory journey across the narrative of the exhibition and presents a variety of events and activities. The cultural programme will include a hand-picked selection of weekend family film screenings and kayak cinema shows, with two sessions in November and one in December. Young visitors can watch &#8216;The Monkey King&#8217; and an episode of &#8216;The Adventures of Sinbad&#8217; on 19 November and return to the museum on 26 November to watch a second installment of &#8216;The Adventures of Sinbad&#8217; alongside the screening of &#8216;Bilal: A New Breed of Hero&#8217;. The saga of Sinbad continues with a final screening on 10 December and, on the same day, children will have the opportunity to explore the world of &#8216;Raya and the Last Dragon&#8217;. Animated &#8216;Tales of the World&#8217; (shorts) will be available to watch on all three days of the film screenings. &#8216;The Adventures of Sinbad&#8217; screenings will be shown as part of the kayak cinema, allowing visitors to watch the episodes while paddling around the museum.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">In addition to the ongoing yoga and kayaking activities at the museum, there will also be a new seasonal offering, inspired by traditional Chinese culture &#8211; Dragon Boats from 18th November to 31st December. Early next year, visitors will also be able to witness a performance piece by local artist Ahmed AlAreef whose installation responds to figures of the zodiac, as seen by both cultures.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Alongside the exhibition, a series of educational activities and programmes are available at the museum starting October. These include daily Express Tours for adults that will assist visitors to follow a journey and delve deep into the long history of cultural interactions, material and idea exchanges between the two civilisations. Students will be able to discover how cultural exchanges across communities in Asia influenced artistic production and ways of living via the &#8216;Take Me to Asia&#8217; interactive encounters with Museum Educators.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Families can participate in the new #MakeandPlay activities inspired by the exhibition on-site and those at home can follow our instructional videos online to create their very own Iznik dish. A series of Masterclasses will be offered starting from November featuring artists invited to respond to artworks within the exhibition and, later, share their skills with participants aged 18 and older in creative activities. Finally, #ARTLAB is back this winter led by UAE-based artists to encourage museum-goers to create their art inspired by dragons and phoenixes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">sharjah24<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mohamed Khalifa Al Mubarak, Chairman of the Department of Culture and Tourism &#8211; Abu Dhabi, has inaugurated the second exhibition by Louvre Abu Dhabi this year, titled &#8216;Dragon and Phoenix &#8211; Centuries of Exchange between Chinese and Islamic Worlds&#8217;.
