Official Video for Adele's 'Someone Like You'

The lip syncing is a bit lazy but the simplicity of the video is great in my opinion. Although I think the video should have been shot in London instead of Paris since Adele is very patriotic about her hometown!

The Contemporary Art Platform Kuwait Launch Event

I went to the CAP launch event this evening with some friends. I thought it would be an interesting alternative to the usual coffee shop/restaurant outing.

This was CAP's first exhibition, drawing from the archives of local collectors and exploring themes of 'icon' as well as 'self and society in the modern Arab world'.

Following the reception, during which you were free to mingle and observe the different artwork, was a panel discussion. One of the speakers (also a curator), Isabella Hughes, made an interesting point about Arab artists /art. The market seems to be stuck on a cliche of Arab artwork that draws upon issues of heritage and culture, forcing Arab artists to create artwork that is confined to one particular genre.

Overall, it's a different and fresh approach (in Kuwait) to providing public access to contemporary art from around the world.

While walking around the exhibition I managed to take a few pictures of the pieces I found most appealing.
