But We Cannot See Them: Tracing a UAE Art Community 1988-2008

This is the first comprehensive sourcebook for one of the most important contemporary art communities in the UAE's history. Available in separate English and Arabic editions, this work centers on a group sometimes called "the five," at an intersection of visual artists, writers, and filmmakers based in the UAE. Its members identified with a "new culture" of encouraging radical, formal and conceptual experimentation. Eventually, some of these artists founded the celebrated Flying House.
