jennyholzerstudio stages a spectacular surprise in the skies over Doha 💫

A monumental text work and drone performance launches #ArtBaselQatar week and marks the start of the Gulf’s most ambitious year for art to date 

On the eve of Art Basel Qatar’s first VIP Preview Day, miaqatar was transformed by a surprise intervention by the conceptual art icon Jenny Holzer. Lights dimmed to unveil the tenth project in Art Basel Qatar's Special Projects program: 

A choreographed moment combining two simultaneous projections of poetry – one across the museum’s main façade and another in its inner courtyard – accompanied by a breathtaking performance of over 700 drones that unfolded in the night sky. 

Thank you to all who came to celebrate this moment with us.
