Luxhabitat published Laura Cherrie Beaney's In The Studio interview with Ziad Al Najjar on 12 January 2023, in the same series as the founder studio piece with Maliha Tabari.
The conversation is timed to Under Your Eyes, his solo at Tabari in DIFC, which ran from 12 to 31 January 2023. Beaney writes from the studio, and Al Najjar talks about the work he was then showing in the gallery. The series gives the artist a longer first person account than the later Canvas Q and A, and it names the gallery as the venue for the solo.
The two pieces from 2023, this interview and the Canvas Q and A, now sit together as coverage of that DIFC exhibition.
Beaney writes in the same first person studio format as her other In The Studio visits, and Al Najjar talks about making the works that then filled the DIFC rooms. The interview appeared on the day the exhibition opened.
Tabari represents Ziad Al Najjar.
