The sketches and blueprints that form the basis of the spectacular ‘The Seed’ art installation on Jubail Island have been put on public display at the site of the installation.
The fascinating series of drawings was penned by the creative pioneers whose vision came to life in the form of the striking cubed art sculpture that forms the centrepiece of ‘The Seed’.
The exhibition features sketches made by renowned artistic directorEs Devlin and a team of Emirati creatives who conceptualised not just the rotating sculpture and its surrounding area, but also its themes of a seed forming a shoot, then a flower, and finally propagating.
Members of the public can gain a detailed insight into how these themes formed the basis of the breathtaking ’Seeds of the Union’ show, which was held at the Jubail Island site to celebrate 49th UAE National Day.
There are less than 20 days until the The Seed closes on January 30. Tickets are priced AED30 for those aged 18 years and above, AED15 for children aged 7 – 17, and free entry for those aged under six. All proceeds are being used to fund a conservation programme in the mangroves.
The site opens at 5pm each day – every day except Sundays – to allow people to take their seats before sunset. An audio-visual experience is played continuously between 6pm and 8pm, while food and beverage is served from on-site food trucks.
In line with the UAE’s Covid-19 policies, all seating is socially-distanced and all necessary precautionary and preventive measures have been put in place.
