SHOTLIST: DUBAI, UNITED ARAB EMIRATES, MARCH 20, 2013, SOURCE: AFPTV SOUNDBITE 1 - Antonia Carver (woman), Art Dubai director (English, 16 sec): "We've selected five incredible art spaces from Nigeria, Mali, Cameron, Senegal and Ghana and most of these art spaces rarely show in international fairs, I would say, and definitely this is the largest showing in the Middle East of art from West Africa, we're very proud of that." SOUNDBITE 2 - Paul Greenaway (man), director of an art gallery in Australia (English, 15 sec): "I visited Art Dubai before, but this is the first time I've participated and I did so for a number of reasons, the axis of the world is shifting from Europe and America to the Middle East and Asia." - VAR of Art Dubai exhibition -----------------------
