GREEN HOUSE BY SHAIKA AL MAZROU

Alongside the centre’s seven gardens designed by Anouk Vogel is a plot reserved for artists to cultivate and experiment in, commissioned annually by the centre.

Instead of an old school planted garden, Shaikha Al Mazrou draws on regular themes in her practice to construct a lightfilled, segmented greenhouse over the plot. The large-scale structure plays on dichotomies of interior/exterior, man-made/ natural and transition/reflection while the absence of vegetation is reflected in the colour and form of the glass.
