Jameel Prize exhibition makes Asian debut
The Jameel Prize 3 Tour opened in Singapore on October 9, marking the art exhibition's first visit to Asia.
The Jameel Prize is an international award for contemporary art and design inspired by Islamic tradition.
The Prize and the exhibition are organised by London's Victoria & Albert Museum in partnership with Dubai-based Art Jameel, which is an initiative of Community Jameel.
Community Jameel is the CSR arm of Abdul Latif Jameel, one of the world's leading independent Toyota distributors.
The organisation has been a supporter of Islamic art for many years and in 2006 partnered with the V&A to set up the Jameel Gallery of Islamic Art.
The Jameel Prize, worth 25,000 British pounds, was first awarded in 2009 and is held every two years, when work by nominated finalists is shown in an international touring exhibition.
The exhibition is curated by V&A's Middle East curators Tim Stanley and Salma Tuqan. Winners are selected by a panel of independent judges.
