Whitewall published Michael Klug's interview with Zeinab Alhashemi on 21 March 2022, on her commission for the second edition of Desert X AlUla.
The Emirati conceptual artist discusses Camouflage 2.0, a site specific installation in the desert that asks visitors to look closely and to use all their senses. She also talks about working in Dubai, and about textures and shapes taken from the city's rapid change. The gallery is not named. This is a dedicated interview on a public land art commission, distinct from later newspaper coverage of Equilibrium and from Frieze Sculpture in 2026.
Klug's interview, dated 21 March 2022 on the page, fills in a day that earlier notes had left as only March. Alhashemi talks about reconstruction and deconstruction in the same breath, and about making an oasis that has to be walked through, not only looked at.
Desert X AlUla is a public exhibition in the landscape, not a gallery show, which is why no Tabari exhibition record is linked here, even as the interview is a substantial account of a current roster artist.
Tabari represents Zeinab Alhashemi.
