It’s free to attend\, but preregistration is recommenced; your ticket will also give you complimentary access to the Louvre Abu Dhabi\, Qasr Al Hosn\, House of Artisans and Bait Al Gahwa for one visit between 19 May and 19 June 2023.

SUMMARY:Bady Dalloul: A country without a door and a window
DESCRIPTION:Bady Dalloul’s solo show comprises a series of 200 miniature drawings displayed inside pocket matchboxes. The vividly coloured and seemingly childlike images sharply contrast with the harsh reality of the stories they depict of the Syrian civil war; by re-appropriating images from the media\, Dalloul invokes a deeply personal and emotive connection to the conflict. \nThis body of work offers an intimate glimpse into Dalloul’s childhood\, rooted in the games he played with his brother at the age of ten. The drawings are inspired by the fictional countries that Dalloul and his brother created by adding new elements to the visible depictions on postage stamps using black pen and coloured pencil to create new geopolitical territories. Dalloul later refined this technique to explore how propaganda and folklore images contribute to the construction of identities. \nTo 21 July.

SUMMARY:Shabahang Tayyari: Stop counting the waves following me\, you seabirds!
DESCRIPTION:This solo exhibition explores themes of uniformity\, replication\, flatness\, originality\, fiction\, and exclusivity within the frame of each painting\, but also between the different frames\, and throughout the overall arrangement of the works. \nThe deliberate arrangement of the paintings\, with four triangular corner pieces along with the orientation of the waves purposefully guides viewers on a clockwise journey through the exhibition. Numbered and titled in tandem\, the waves evoke the three-dimensional maquettes traditionally employed by performers to emulate the fluid motion of the ocean\, while their outline drawings are informed by the curves and harmonies of Persian-Arabic calligraphy. \nRuns in Gallery 2 at The Third Line to 21 July.

SUMMARY:Lamya Gargash: Isthmus
DESCRIPTION:Lamya Gargash’s fifth solo show at the gallery celebrates the artist’s poetics of space\, recounting human experiences throughout different geographies without the direct presence of the human figure. “Photographing selections of objects\, furniture pieces\, window details\, and wall trimmings speaks louder than the sum of these individual design decisions – each interior element embodies a human quality and expectations of audience preferences of a certain decade\, socio-economic situation\, and culture.” \nThe title is a metaphor for capturing interiors in spaces as disparate as the Cultural Foundation in Abu Dhabi\, Hotel Acao in Atami\, and the QE2 in Dubai. The viewer is invited to look around the exhibition with a blank mind and guess which photograph was taken where … \nCurated by Sophie Mayuko Arni; runs in Gallery 1 at The Third Line to 21 July.
