The six-week symposium ran from February 25th to April 7th 2010 and will reveal the works of some of the most talented international artists who were carefully selected to give the Symposium a multi-cultural context.
Each artist was asked to submit three proposals for sculptures that were inspired by the U.A.E., its history, and its culture, and were also linked to the theme of ADISS: "Bridging Societies Through the Language of Art".
