With Hall 2 still temporarily closed at Abu Dhabi Art as all the art and galleries are moved from the UAE Pavilion to the former storage area, the bulk of the audiences are focused on Hall 1 and the galleries there. Inside the sculpture <em>I'd Settle For Being Able To Sleep</em> by Mondongo is certainly attracting a lot of attention. The mixed media piece depicts the gigantic head of Snow White covered in lentils and engulfed in a chaotic and stomach-churning scene featuring a rotting hare with its babies emerging from its stomach and a skull with faeces on top of it. Audiences study the work Mondongo, is an art collective from Argentina. For this piece the artists Manuel Mendanha and Juliana Lafitte have blended the fairy tales of Snow White and Sleeping Beauty to create a piece that comments on purity, innoncence and post-modern irony. "Take numb Snow White as a little reflection of the whole society, with its demons and latent beauty" says Mendanha. Whilst many people have a reaction of disgust to the piece, Lafitte says this is part of the work's appeal. "We understand that art has no language or defined idiosyncrasy." * <em>I'd Settle For Being Able To Sleep</em> is at the Art Sawa booth in Hall 1
