Noor Riyadh, the Largest Light Art Festival in the World, has returned for its third edition, which ran until December 16, 2023. The Art Fair Guy visited the accompanying exhibition at the Riyadh JAX District, which runs through to March 2, 2024. This citywide spectacle bathes Riyadh in a glow of large-scale light art, captivating building projections, performances, and beyond.
The accompanying exhibition is titled 'Refracted Identities, Shared Futures', and is held at the Riyadh art space in JAX District. Neville Wakefield, formerly of MoMA PS1, Frieze Projects, and Desert X, returns to lead the curation of the show, alongside Maya Al Athel, who served as artistic manager of the festival in 2022. Last year, the exhibition considered light as a signal of change, tracing the role light plays in shaping our perception of the world. For 2023, the show celebrates light as a flux, where artists as cartographers of light comprehend the dynamic nature of human and cultural identity amidst the shifting sands of time.
