The New York University Abu Dhabi community invites you to the unveiling of Urban Fabric at Abu Dhabi Art, adjacent to entrance, in Manarat Al Saadiyat, Saadiyat Island. Urban Fabric is the winning artwork of the Christo and Jeanne-Claude Award 2022 by artists Roudhah Al Mazrouei, Gerald Jason Cruz, and Jennifer Tsai.

Under the patronage of Her Highness Sheikha Shamsa bint Hamdan Al Nahyan, NYU Abu Dhabi (NYUAD), in partnership with Abu Dhabi Music & Arts Foundation (ADMAF), has announced the winners of the tenth edition of The Christo and Jeanne-Claude Award 2022. NYUAD sophomore undergraduate students Roudhah Al Mazrouei, an Emirati national, Gerald Jason Cruz from the Philippines, and Jennifer Tsai from Taiwan are the winning artists.

Their submission, titled Urban Fabric, is a series of four sculptures resembling pieces of thread. These forms are intertwined and interlaced into the ground, turning the physical environment around the art piece into a canvas that the thread is woven into, linking each piece together. The installation is designed in a way that encourages interaction as it seeks to create a dynamic and thought-provoking space.
