The first major London exhibition of the Egyptian artist Wael Shawky, will feature the worldwide premiere of the artist’s latest film Al Araba Al Madfuna II (2013). Acclaimed as one of the most exciting artists to emerge from the Middle East in recent years, Wael Shawky was the recipient of the Ernst Schering Foundation Art Award in 2011 and the Abraaj Capital Art Prize in 2012. His films, installations and performances explore history, culture and the effect of globalisation on contemporary societies using multi-layered historical reconstructions to navigate the territory between truth and myth.
