The inaugural edition of the Islamic Arts Biennale in Jeddah was the first of its kind in the world. It took place at the Aga Khan Award-winning Western Hajj Terminal of the King Abudlaziz International Airport in Jeddah, from January 23 to April 23, 2023. With more than 280 art pieces from artists from Saudi Arabia and from all over the world, it was a unique artistic experience. The Biennale interweaves contemporary works and never-before-seen historic artifacts. There were also masterclasses, lectures, workshops, performances, movies, and tours through the rich cultural heritage and art in Jeddah.
Remarkable FZE used fixtures from the Focus Micro Series to highlight all the pieces. With a LED colour of 3000K, and a CRI of 95 in combination with the control method DMX, were these fixtures exactly what they needed for this remarkable exhibition. The Focus Micro is one of the smallest zoom spots ever made. It is ideal for display cases or any other situation where an unobtrusive fixture is needed to illuminate an object or space precisely. The photos show the beautiful result.
