The biennale exhibitions displayed various forms of art including performative and digital. In his installation for KB17, Kazim used human hair to create a three-dimensional drawing in the space. His work derives from his interest in the complexity of the human body, both in its physiognomy and as a thematic concern.<\/p>\n<p>Ali Kazim was selected for the Award by three independent jurors. The jury comprised of an international cultural journalist; Ingo Arand, an international art historian and critic on modern and contemporary South Asian art; Savita Apte and one of Pakistan&#8217;s leading contemporary art collectors, Khurram Asim.<\/p>\n<p>The KB17 jury convened from the 18th to 20th October, surveying over 140 works of art displayed across 12 venues in Karachi.
