Description
Human-crafted. AI-refined.

The artwork depicts a handshake against a serene landscape featuring lush forests, mountains, and a calm body of water. The composition emphasizes the gesture of connection, with the hands taking up a prominent position in the frame. The colors are muted, with the warm tones of the skin contrasting with the cool blues and greens of the natural setting. The overall style suggests a sense of collaboration, unity, and harmony, perhaps alluding to the artist's intention to convey the importance of human interaction and understanding in the face of a breathtaking natural backdrop. ...

As opaque in their referents as they are blatant, GCC exploits the rhetoric around false utopias of transnational bureaucratic bodies, exploring the constructions of such identities through clever articulations of their own. When they appropriate the gestures and self-mythologizing imagery involved in diplomatic proceedings, they seek to uncover them as rituals with no real meaning. GCC stands for many things, but primarily an acronym synonymous with a political and economic union, the Gulf Cooperation Council. For their debut exhibition at Project Native Informant, GCC presented photographic outtakes from their first annual summit in Morschach, Switzerland. A sinfully beautiful confluence of lakes and mountains is the backdrop for the handshakes, iPad deliberations and tea services that serve as glimpses of the collective’s diplomacy at work. This performance for camera lampoons the convening of the Council, held in a similarly luxurious setting and with similar jockeying between leisure and statesmanship. Founded in 2013, current members include Abdullah Al-Mutairi, Amal Khalaf, Aziz Al Qatami, Barrak Alzaid, Fatima Al Qadiri, Khalid al Gharaballi and Nanu Al-Hamad. The basic objectives of the GCC are effective collaboration, transformation and interconnection between artists in all fields in order to achieve unity between them: Being fully aware of the ties of special relations, common characteristics and similar systems founded on the creed of Art which bind them; and In conformity with the Charter of the Federation of Gulf Artists which calls for the realization of closer relations and stronger bonds; and Having the conviction that coordination, cooperation, and integration between them serve the sublime objectives of the GCC; and, In order to channel their efforts to reinforce and serve Gulf and Artistic causes. ...
