The Image Festival #3 – Macro & ME kicked off with many events and exhibitions planned for the month in different venues around Amman, featuring 25 artists. One of them is Olivier Culmann, who won 3rd prize in the World Press Photo Awards in 2007 – contemporary issues category. His exhibition “Watching TV” opens Tuesday evening at Nabad Gallery at 6:00 pm.

Another interesting exhibition opens on Tuesday: ‘Wonderland’ by Georgian Artist Rusudan Khinzanishvili, at Foresight32 art gallery. The collection has a fictional and magical feel to it, depicting characters stuck living in a world parallel to ours, almost as real. Khinzanishvili is a young contemporary artist based in the Georgian capital Tbilsi. Her work is characterized by confident and bold use of color that pay homage to the styles of Gauguin and Cezanne. The exhibition will be running until March 28.
