Guggenheim Abu Dhabi at Manarat Al Saadiyat on Saadiyat Island will showcase its collection for a second time next year, said a report citing an announcement from the Abu Dhabi Tourism and Culture Authority (TCA Abu Dhabi).

'The Creative Act: Performance', which will run from March 8, 2017, will bring together artists of different nationalities and generations who have emphasised the three key elements -  performance, process, and human presence - in their practice, said a report in WAM.

The second exhibition follows after the success of the 2014 showcase 'Seeing Through Light', which welcomed more than 90,000 visitors and presented artworks from the Guggenheim Abu Dhabi collection for the first time.

Saif Saeed Ghobash, director general of TCA Abu Dhabi, said: "Abu Dhabi has become a vibrant cultural destination through unique public engagement programmes establishing an interactive dialogue between Abu Dhabi and the world, and creating its own cultural characteristic around its urban and contemporary landscapes. The Creative Act exhibition will emphasise intertwined histories among countries, within regions, and across continents, consistent with the curatorial vision of the Guggenheim Abu Dhabi, and echoing TCA Abu Dhabi’s strategic endeavours to transform Abu Dhabi to a hub for world cultures. This exhibition will highlight connections between contemporary artists revealing common sources of inspiration, lines of influence, and distinctive contributions."

The exhibition will feature more than 25 works in a variety of media including installation, painting, photography, sculpture, video, and works on paper, representing more than 18 artists.
