С 1985 года работы Алема были выставлены на национальном уровне в Саудовской Аравии и на международном уровне. [ 2 ] Некоторые работы - это комментарий о жизни женщин в Саудовской Аравии, используя форму, чтобы продемонстрировать беспокойство, в котором женщины могут жить. [6]
Alem's work, Youm al-Suq, was selected by British Airways to appear on the livery of its aircraft in 1998.[7][8] Her 2007 retrospective exhibition at Albareh Gallery demonstrated the development of her work from portraiture, to landscape, to photography.[9] She has also exhibited at the Kunstmuseum in Bonn,[10] at Amum in Tennessee,[11] in Istanbul as part of its 2010 Capital of Culture programme,[12] and at the 6th Berlin Biennale.[13]
Venice Biennale
[edit]In 2011, Saudi Arabia entered the Venice Biennale for the first time with Alem as the country's representative.[14][15][16] Her work, entitled The Black Arch, which draws on folklore, Islam and medieval travel narratives.[17] The work was made of up of a dark cube suspended on its point over a sea of iridescent spheres.[18] Visitors were encouraged to move around the work and the sphere represented travellers of all kinds.[19] It covered an area of 350 square metres; its scale as an installation has been interpreted as a challenge to spatial order.[20] The colour black was also key to the installation: as the colour of Ka'aba cloth, the colour of the silhouettes of veiled women and of the black stone.[4]
In the same year, Alem was one of the artists chosen to feature in the British Museum's exhibition Hajj.[21][22] However, 2011 was not just a year of achievement - it is also the year their mother died, 15 years worth of work was lost in a flood in Jeddah and computer failure lost five further projects.[4]
Women and art in Saudi Arabia
[edit]In 2011, Shadia Alem and her sister, writer, were featured in Vogue Italia, discussing their work and the role of women in Saudi Arabia.[23] While Alem tackles gender issues through her work, her sister sees her writing as genderless.[24] In Alem's work Negative No More, the pre-and-misconceptions of Saudi women are commented on.[25] This installation consisted of 5000 photographic negatives, none of which feature women, to draw attention to the fact that women have been absent from Saudi Arabian political history.[26]
