SUMMARY:Nasir Nasrallah: Poetic of Machines
DESCRIPTION:Nasrallah’s solo show is a mythical exploration of the relationship between humans and machines. Through a collection of intricate drawings\, paintings\, publications\, textiles\, and installations\, the UAE-based artist takes us on a journey into a world of mechanical creatures that exist in an unknown space and time\, and is inspired by early Islamic inventions and experiments. \nThe drawings and paintings are detailed\, depicting a variety of unique robotic figures. They are often presented in groups\, suggesting a kind of community or society of machines. The exhibition acts as a stage or a set where an unscripted narrative plays out\, examining how this community of machines converses\, communicates\, and interacts\, exploring the potential for life in the so-called non-living and vice versa. The work invites us to consider the impact of machines on our daily lives and our ever-evolving relationship with these mechanical beings. \nNasrallah’s depictions of machines are not merely mechanical; rather\, he imbues them with personalities\, emotions\, and even a sense of humor. These elements create a sense of familiarity and intimacy\, inviting visitors into the artist’s personal world. \nNasrallah is a recipient of the 2023 cycle of the 421 Artistic Development Program\, of which this exhibition forms a part. \nTo 27 August.

SUMMARY:SYNTHESIS: 2023 MFA Graduate Show
DESCRIPTION:Marking the second year of collaboration between 421 and NYUAD\, the exhibition showcases the research and experimentation of the inaugural cohort of students completing the two-year Master of Fine Arts in Art and Media at NYUAD: \n\nFor Elizabeth Dorazio\, nature is the central subject in the Cosmic Forest in which she questions transforming matter that is random\, unpredictable and in constant movement through drawing\, a cornerstone of her practice.\nIn I Would Tread Lightly\, Liane Al Ghusain presents artworks related to being a Palestinian in the diaspora\, which include geometric embroidery\, serial sculptures\, non-narrative videos\, and performances for processing emotional trauma\, both individually and collectively.\nFor Mapscapes Majd Alloush examines the intersection of art and technology\, exploring the transformation of pixels into tangible objects through printmaking\, moving image\, and digital fabrication with the aim of documenting the often-overlooked urban and absurd landscapes that exist all around us.\nWorking with textiles\, Mahra AlFalahi’s Folded Stories (above) is rooted in exploring the effect of memories of storytelling drawn from her own childhood in which she highlights societal norms and expectations that are nurtured through such narratives.\nFabiola Chiminazzo’s work investigates our society’s excess imagery using archival images from photos\, books\, prints and museum catalogs as a critical tool to propose thinking with and through images in her Encounter Museum.\n\nTo 25 August.
