Edge Of Arabia was founded by a small collective of artists who met in the mountains of Aseer, Saudi Arabia, in 2003. What began as a border-crossing collaboration, against the backdrop of the last Gulf War, is now an established platform which has grown bold through the realisation of international projects & the grassroots support for its mission.
Edge of Arabia, in partnership with Art Jameel, embark on a three-year cross-country, cross-cultural tour across the United States of America, with the aim to connect artists with new audiences, bridge communities and inspire informed cultural dialogue. Launching in March 2014 in Houston, the tour will travel to New York , before heading to Boston and Washington D.C. in 2015 and making the cross-country road trip to the west coast through 2016.

In July 2014, Edge of Arabia will launch a New York residency program in partnership with Art Jameel and the International Studio & Curatorial Program (ISCP). Open to artists from across the Middle East, the residency will allow artists to undertake independent projects and work alongside curators, as well as join the ISCP’s esteemed community of international artists.

EOA Projects are proud to present Man of War, the first UK solo exhibition of paintings, drawings and prints by London-based Iraqi-British artist, Athier. The central symbol throughout this new series of works is the Portuguese Man of War, a ‘colonial’ organism, often mistaken for a jellyfish, which exists without a central brain, but with the ability to hunt, kill and destroy.
