Adel Abidin is having a new solo exhibition named Blueprint starting from March 11th at the Maraya Art Center in Sharjah, United Arab Emirates.
The exhibition echoes the architectural and engineering practice of producing an actual blueprint for an imaginative machine that creates a production assembly line that would exist in an industrial factory. This exaggerated large scale (20meters * 2.6meters) drawing and its overbearing sound component transform the gallery into a mock factory setting.
