Biography
Rami Farook (b. 1981, Dubai) is an interdisciplinary artist, curator and producer. Self-taught, he entered the art world in 2007 as a collector, gallerist and patron, driven by a wish to be useful, honourable and compassionate, and his close engagement with the conditions of art — its possibilities and responsibilities — directly shapes his work. He thrives on conceptualisation, intervention and experimentation, often realising projects with emotional intensity and impulsiveness. His exhibitions include the solo shows A Muslim Man at ATHR Gallery, Jeddah (2025), Reset / Finale / Untitled at ATHR (2023), Items Discontinued at Maisan 15, Dubai (2020) and Peace and Productivity at Season, Seattle (2017), as well as No Trespassing at Ishara Art Foundation, Dubai (2025) and a group presentation curated by Reem Fadda for the Sharjah Biennial's second act at the Sursock Museum, Beirut (2017). He curated Young Saudi Artists 2023: On Purpose for ATHR in Diriyah and Grey Borders / Grey Frontiers for Edge of Arabia during the Berlin Biennale (2010). His work has been acquired by the Guggenheim Abu Dhabi and is held in the Obayashi Collection and the Barjeel Art Foundation, among others.
