Public art in Qatar
The Qatar Museums (QM) Public Art Department is responsible for overseeing the installation of artwork by renowned artists in the public realm in Qatar, creating an artist residency program for young local artists to help them develop their skills, organizing exhibitions featuring international artists and developing an online community of both local and international creative talents. The QM intends to develop Qatar into a world-class cultural destination, notably in modern and contemporary art.
Alongside the aim of increasing the number and visibility of art attractions, Qatar Museums provides material support to local artists, such as Fatma Al Sharshani, showcasing Qatar's history and culture in a bid to enhance the country's art attractions and draw tourists.
According to Sheikha Al Mayassa Bint Hamad Al Thani, Chairperson of QM: “Through displaying various forms of art in public space, we aim to inspire local talent and establish an organic connection between art and the local community.”
Artwork installed at Hamad International Airport includes Untitled (Lamp/Bear) by Urs Fischer. Created out of bronze by Urs Fischer, this piece is situated in the main lobby after security. It signifies the reminder of childhood memories and intimate objects to travelers globally, inviting them to appreciate the concept of traveling the same way that Fischer travelled back in time to create it.
The Other Worlds installation by well-known American sculptor Tom Otterness consists of eight bronze sculptures located in Terminal C of the airport and is part of Otterness's Playground series. The installation functions as an artistic artwork as well as a playground by incorporating slides into the sculptures and allowing children to climb and explore them.
Tom Claasen, a Dutch artist, produced a series of Arabian oryx sculpture pieces in bronze. These are currently situated in the airport's East Arrival Hall.
Adel Abdessemed created Mappes Monde, featuring two global maps modeled from tin cans.
Untitled by Rudolf Stingel is in the Arrivals Meet and Greet Hall. The piece is made up of three surfaces covered with reflective aluminum panels. Before the opening of the airport, the artist asked members of the construction team to draw on these surfaces. Later, the artist cast them in copper and coated them with gold.
