Six Japanese outlets covered the Atami Art Grant 2022, the residency and city-wide art festival in Atami in which Hashel Al Lamki took part, across the festival's opening week in early November 2022: Tecture Mag ("Opening on 11/3 'Atami Art Grant 2022' - Developing Art in Atami City, Including Hotel Acao Annex," 3 Nov), Bijutsu Techo ("The Art Festival 'Atami Art Grant 2022' Will be Held in Atami. This Year There Will Also be a Bus Tour," 4 Nov), Atami Keizai Shimbun ("Atami Art Grant. Opening and Opening reception," 5 Nov), Art Archi ("Art Event to Enjoy in the City of Atami! Atami Art Grant 2022," 7 Nov), Marisol, in a piece by M. Katsura ("To the Whirlpool of Art from Atami 'Atami Art Grant 2022!'," 9 Nov), and News TV ("Powersupply Art Colors The City of Atami! Atami Art Grant 2022 x Toyota," 12 Nov).
The coverage is local and festival-wide rather than focused on a single artist, previewing the grant's opening events, a bus tour of participating sites across the city, and a Toyota-sponsored element of the programme; none of the six pieces could be read in full for this summary, so no individual passage about Al Lamki's own installation can be confirmed here.
Hashel Al Lamki's residency and presentation at the Atami Art Grant sit alongside the Gulf-Asia exchanges that have since run through his practice, including later residencies in South Korea, China and Singapore; no Tabari exhibition page corresponds directly to the Atami grant, so no internal exhibition link is proposed for this item.
