    “Linear Rhythms,” Harper’s Bazaar, April 18, 2017. Idris Khan’s monument for Abu Dhabi’s Memorial Park In Abu Dhabi, opposite the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque in the new 42,000 square meter Wahat Al Karama (Oasis of Dignity) Memorial Park, 38-year-old artist Idris Khan has designed and built the UAE’s first permanent monument of remembrance for the armed forces. During a ceremony that involved the seven Emirates and other dignitaries, the 23 meter-high public commission was unveiled by Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed, the Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi on 30 November 2016, National Commemoration Day. I sat with Idris in London (he also has a studio in the Dordogne, France) just after New Year’s Day to discuss his landmark year and this commission that was described by The Art Newspaper as “the world’s largest, most prestigious” of 2016. Idris and I first met in 2005 when I was the Commissioning Editor for Contemporary Art at Phaidon Press and Idris was an emerging artist included in Vitamin Ph: New Perspectives in Photography. His career has blossomed since then and he is now one of the world’s most successful artists. Khan’s monument in Abu Dhabi began with a brief from his New York gallery Sean Kelly in December 2015. Realising the project required an ambitious scope and provided an opportunity for him to articulate the integration of his ideas about material and their meaning. In January 2016 he stood on barren land, and was told the only restriction was ‘no higher than 30 meters’, and was given a month to make his proposal.

    December 2018 | 1 2 creating green communities for a better tomorrow 3 This year’s UAE National Day celebrations holds greater significance as it falls in the Year of Zayed, as we celebrate the birth centenary of the nation’s late Founding Father, Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan. As a leader with great visionary foresight, he took forward the country’s aspirations further than anyone could have ever imagined enabling the UAE to achieve extraordinary growth in just a few decades. The UAE is today recognised as a model of overall development, due to its scientific, economic and social accomplishments. The country has taken a leading role in consolidating Arab sovereignty while its active foreign policy in dealing with various international issues has enhanced Prof. Mohammed bin the country’s stature and strengthened its friendships across the globe. Fahad Executive Editor Under the nation’s leadership that follows the vision of our Founding Father, the UAE has entrenched itself as a centre of knowledge, innovation, culture, tourism, logistics and trade. In October this year, the UAE entered the age of space manufacturing when KhalifaSat, the first satellite built entirely by Emirati engineers, was launched. Its leadership in the space sector is ensuring that it is on the right track to reach Mars in 2117. According to a study from the World Bank Group and the World Economic Forum, the UAE has emerged as the most competitive economy in the Middle East and North Africa, thanks to its strong rankings in infrastructure, goods and market efficiency, labour market efficiency, financial market development, business sophistication and the country’s macroeconomic environment, among other factors.
