In November next year, The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York will present Diana Al-Hadid and Barb Hunt, an exhibition devoted to the two artists as a means of expressing their personal works which will tie together the focus of construction in a socio-cultural context. Throughout history, artists utilise their works as a channel to portray their personal aesthetic. Syrian artist, Diana Al-Hadid’s work presents displays of sculptures in ruin as Al-Hadid works with a broad range of mediums to produce an intriguing installation. Al-Hadid focuses on the everlasting concern and assured crumbling of ambitious human constructions. Barb Hunt utilises craft methods of Newfoundland to create sculptures to portray her concern with several destructions around the world. Focusing on femininity, Hunt creates sculptures through juxtaposition of feminine issues with masculine materials. Whilst Al-Hadid and Hunt focus on very different aspects, use contrasting materials, both artists enable to create the same meaning through an entirely different intentions. Located at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, Curating Al-Hadid and Hunt will present an engaging atmosphere, in which the viewer will be able to be intuitively connected with the artists and the exhibition as a whole.
