Global Positioning System

Global Positioning System is an exhibition dedicated to mapping and navigation systems, curated by Indranjan Banerjee and Lucas Morin. It tells stories of fast cars and slow trains, street barriers and trembling grounds, warping highways and broken bridges. Gathering over forty artists across Art Jameel's two centres in Jeddah and Dubai, it presents practices ranging from research-based engagements with infrastructure projects to conceptual works that question the very perception of distance. Focusing on movement, conceptual gestures and time-based practices, the exhibition approaches navigation with friction, interruption and uncertainty. The Hayy Jameel chapter (Ground Floor, Hayy Arts) includes works by Bani Abidi, Mahmoud Alhaj, Heba Y. Amin, Ana Amorim, Eissa Attar, Muhanned Cader, Cheng Xinhao, Md Fazla Rabbi Fatiq, Mona Hatoum, Baaraan Ijlal, Karachi LaJamia, Nalini Malani, Cinthia Marcelle, Ahmet Öğüt, Amol K Patil, Fazal Rizvi, Hiraki Sawa, Vishwa Shroff, Arpita Singh, Tiger Tateishi, Hitesh Vaidya and Zarina.
