Caption: In April 2014, Qatar Museums Authority hosted a beautiful, unique event in the desert of the Brouq Nature Reserve near Zekreet for the unveiling or 'reveal' of Richard Serra's East-West,West-East installation.
Serra invited the assembled audience, which included Sheikha Al Mayassa, the Chairperson of QMA, to 'walk the pieces'.

Caption: The placement (of the pieces) is not geometrical, it’s topological; they can only be placed where they are to achieve the curvature of the land. If one walks through the pieces; he will understand not only the rhythm of himself in relationship to the landscape but also the rhythm of himself in relationship to the height and the length of the pieces.” - Richard Serra

Caption: What an incredible sight. Around 100 people walking off into the desert to experience the massive steel structures up close.
The event was rounded off perfectly watching the sun setting behind the sculptures.
