JEDDAH: “The role of contemporary (art) is to act as a link between the past, our present and this imagining of our future,” says Muhannad Shono, contemporary art curator at the second Islamic Arts Biennale in Jeddah, which opened in January and runs through May.
Shono’s section of the biennale features 30 new commissions from local and international artists “giving shape to the theme,” which this year is “And All That is in Between” — drawn from a Qur’anic verse: “To Allah belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth and all that is in between” — guiding artists and audiences to reflect on the spaces that exist between known boundaries, whether physical, spiritual, or conceptual.
Set across multiple indoor galleries and integrated into outdoor spaces, the contemporary works are woven seamlessly into the Biennale’s landscape alongside ancient artifacts.
One striking example is in the AlMidhallah section, where Japanese artist Takashi Kuribayashi’s installation, “Barrels,” features a formation of oil barrels from which a tree emerges, with reflective mirrors blurring the line between man-made and natural elements.

Anyone who buys clothes online without trying them on beforehand will know about the frequent disconnect between the way a garment looks on a professional model compared to how it might look on an (equally beautiful but differently-shaped) normal human body.
Unfortunately, because most websites only hire certain kinds of bodies to model their clothes on the internet, returning ill-fitting clothing is a feature of modern life for many of us who like to shop. But ASOS' game-changing latest move could cut the number of lunchtimes you end up wasting in the Post Office line.
The online retailer has already made great strides towards body positivity and inclusivity, and has long been a trailblazer for plus-size fashion. Now, it's showing what the same clothes look like on different-sized models, giving shoppers a better idea of how a garment will fit their bodies.
The feature, which is already available on select women's items on the website, will be rolled out on ASOS's app soon. "We’re always testing new technology that can make our customers’ experience even better," an ASOS spokesperson tells Refinery29.
