The Mine (art gallery)
The Mine is a Dubai based contemporary art gallery founded and directed by Sanaz Askari.
About
Since its opening in November 2013, just as Dubai's win for the EXPO 2020 was announced, the space has been known to break down the city's commercial art scene by showcasing art that is accessible to art enthusiasts across the region. Known to exhibit artists whose works are often obscure and offbeat, ranging from bizarre sculptures to funky installations, The Mine has shaken up the local scene with a vast, ever changing collection of art that was otherwise overshadowed by more commercially successful artists.[1]
Nestled in Al Quoz, an industrial area that has emerged as Dubai's up and coming art district, the gallery continues to exhibit emerging artists within its raw industrial space.
In addition to solo exhibitions, cultural events are held regularly which have been known to contribute a great deal in supporting Dubai's rapidly growing art scene.
The Mine is a warehouse made up of around six thousand square feet with two spacious floors. Every facet of the venue is unobtrusive, with waste items found around the industrial area molded into tables, chairs and reception desks. The space is also used as a platform where industry professionals can network.[2]
