SUMMARY:Press Print!
DESCRIPTION:A group show that celebrates printmaking practices in the UAE\, especially “the inherent experimental potential and various techniques available to artists working today”. From the gallery’s press release: \n\nDubai-based illustrator and printmaker Azim Al Ghussein experiments with image making methods and materials outside the conventional studio. Made using linocut\, tetrapak drypoint and risograph techniques\, Azim’s prints are thoughtful explorations of the capacity for sharing (and caring)\, distribution\, and hospitality.\nUAE-based American printmaker and lecturer Brian Gonzales presents a new series of CMYK screenprints depicting irrational compositions and vibrant colour schemes. The abstract prints that mark the artist’s sixth year in the UAE belong to Brian’s wider narrative unravelling endless enigmas.\nIn a new series of etchings and screenprints\, Diego Mendoza explores culture induced concepts of masculinity by layering multiple image transfer methods to create pattern compositions of overlapping imagery. With visual references to mythological\, current\, and cross-cultural representations of the subject\, Diego portrays changing spectrums of measuring masculinity.\nHala El Abora takes an experimental and interdisciplinary approach to materialise her printmaking process beyond the surface. Inspired by archiving practices\, Hala’s work explores acts of preservation\, merging the real and imaginary into permanent objects facing the test of time.\nJi-Hye Kim conveys the question of self-identity by reflecting on the properties of the UAE’s rocky mountains against natural occurrences\, such as rain and wind. In new large-scale monoprints\, the artist traces the textures of these mountains as if recalling their memories and transformation overtime.\nEmirati artist Khalid Mezaina presents a new body of mixed media prints on paper and fabric\, drawing from his research on regional and historical talismanic practices. In these works\, Khalid repetitively uses simple shape stamps to compose images of movement rituals\, such as dancing.\nSafeya Sharif explores the concept of selective memory in a new series of embossed and linocut prints. By isolating selected scenes of her signature endless hallways\, Safeya highlights the correlation between memory and imagination.\nSalama Nasib presents a new series of prints as part of her continued exploration of memory. In this playful series\, Salama looks at childhood desires to play\, collaging a print illustration of her family home’s slide against screenprinted backdrops of the past.\n\nThe exhibition includes a Print Exchange\, a collection of limited edition prints by each of the eight participating artists available for purchase. \nTo 7 September.

SUMMARY:CineMAS – Foragers / Tara
DESCRIPTION:7pm Foragers dir Jumana Manna (2022) \nShot in the Golan Heights\, the Galilee and Jerusalem\, the film employs fiction\, documentary and archival footage to capture the joy and knowledge embodied in the traditions of foraging for wild edible plants alongside the foragers’ resilience in the face of a prohibitive law. In Arabic and Hebrew with English subtitles. \n9pm Tara dir Volker Sattel and Francesca Bertin (2022) \nTara\, the ‘River of Good Fortune’ that connects the Italian port city of Taranto to the monstrous steel mill on the harbour side\, is said to have healing\, magical powers despite being in one of the most polluted rivers in Europe. Through precise\, poetic images\, this documentary explores the social and physical spaces around the river\, the parallels between economic and ecological exploitation\, and the lives of people living on the margins of post-capitalism. Italian with English subtitles. \nThe CineMAS contemporary Arab cinema series is a mini-festival of independent films curated by Hind Mezaina and presented by the NYUAD Film and New Media Program in partnership with the NYUAD Arts Center. Day tickets are AED 30\, weekend (Saturday & Sunday) tickets are AED 50\, a full-week pass is AED 150..

SUMMARY:Monty Python's Spamalot
DESCRIPTION:You probably won’t have more fun in the theatre this year: based on (“ripped off from”) the 1975 film Monty Python and the Holy Grail\, this highly irreverent musical parody of Arthurian legend has lyrics and book by Python’s Eric Idle and a score by Idle and John Du Prez. It’s funny and clever\, and it’s brought to us by the Abu Dhabi Choral Group\, the UAE’s longest established amateur music group – now in its 45th season\, and with more than 75 shows in its back catalogue. Recommended. \nThere are further shows at 7.30pm on 1\, 2 and 3 June\, with a 2pm matinée on 3 June too.

SUMMARY:Wednesday Night Impro: Maestro
DESCRIPTION:Ten actors converge for a night of scenes\, songs and games based on audience suggestions. After each round you score the players on a scale of 1 to 5\, and the one with the lowest score is eliminated. Eventually only one remains\, to be crowned the Maestro. “Fast-paced\, unpredictable\, and hilarious” says the promo\, and you couldn’t argue with that. As with all Courtyard improv evenings it’s free\, but you need to put your name on the guestlist (via the website); and it’s first-come first-served\, so get there early enough to grab a seat.
