QM to present exhibition of Virgil Abloh in November

Doha: On November 5, 2021, Qatar Museums (QM) — Qatar’s preeminent institution for art and culture — will present a mid-career retrospective of the acclaimed American artist and designer, Virgil Abloh, at the Garage Gallery at the Fire Station. 

The first museum exhibition of his work to be presented in the Middle East, Virgil Abloh: Figures of Speech will be on view until March 31, 2022. With more than 55 works, the exhibition will offer an in-depth look at Abloh’s diverse pioneering media practice that ranges from visual arts to music, fashion, architecture, and design. 

Figures of Speech is organised by Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago, adapted for this presentation by Qatar Museums, and designed by and in collaboration with AMO. It is part of the Qatar-USA 2021 Year of Culture programme, an annual international cultural exchange designed to deepen understanding between nations and their people.
