Overview
- DCT Abu Dhabi officially appointed Dyangani Ose as artistic director for the next Public Art Biennial, scheduled to open in autumn 2026 and extend into 2027.
- In a social media announcement, she said she will combine the biennial post with her Macba duties until the summer, though some reports note her current contract runs to September.
- Spanish media report the Macba Consortium decided in December not to renew her five‑year term and has opened a new selection process.
- Consortium members say they were surprised by her announcement and must decide whether the external appointment is compatible with her museum contract.
- The inaugural 2024–25 Abu Dhabi Public Art Biennial was well received and led to several site‑specific works being acquired as permanent public art.
