Dubai without any doubt is emerging as an art hub. In its effort to bring artworks from around the world to the UAE, Emaar recently invited entries from creative professionals from all over the world to display their artworks as a theme to Burj Khalifa’s led light show every month. This initiative is called ‘Burj Khalifa open call’
From the entries, the first two winning concepts for the month of April have been selected by an expert jury. The winners are: Pedro Narvaez from Mexico and Hiroyuki Hosaka from Japan. Their winning designs will form the theme of the spectacular illumination on Burj Khalifa and will be displayed every hour from 6.15 pm to 10.15 pm on weekdays and every 30 minutes from 6.15 pm to 10.45 pm on weekends.
Pedro Narvaez submitted a design concept titled ‘Luna’, which centres on the moon, which the designer noted, reigns the night. The design resembles a night garden that flourishes under the moonlight with crystals, flowers, diamonds and pearls weaving the light that shines at night.
Hiroyuki Hosaka’s theme titled ‘Sylo’ uses geometric design and optical illusion patterns to create a stunning show that will mesmerise viewers. Both their creative works will also be featured on the tower’s social media channels reaching a wider audience globally.
In coming months, more winning concepts from submitted entries will be selected for display at Burj Khalifa. Entries are still open and proposals should be sent by email to: artanddesign@burjkhalifa.ae.
