Cai Guo-Qiang: Saraab is the artist’s first solo exhibition in the Arab world and the first exhibition of a solo artist at Mathaf: Arab Museum of Modern Art. The exhibition showcases seventeen new, site-specific artworks by Cai Guo-Qiang in the context of a mini-retrospective including recent and rarely-shown works on paper, canvas and porcelain, documentation of creative process, and Cai’s collaborations with local volunteers to create a series of his signature large-scale gunpowder drawings. In Saraab, Cai Guo-Qiang suggestively juxtaposes cultural symbols and re-imagines historical connections between Doha, Qatar and his hometown, Quanzhou, in Southeast China.
