SUMMARY:Nowhere And Everywhere At The Same Time No.2
DESCRIPTION:Now this is an unexpected offering from Berklee: the revised version of William Forsythe’s Nowhere And Everywhere At The Same Time\, a kind of DIY performance piece that encourages you to experience space\, movement\, other people\, the absence of other people … \nThe original version was a dance piece created at Tate Modern in 2009\, devised by the eminent choreographer and performed by the dancers of his company. The Tate’s Turbine Hall was filled with dozens of metal pendulums suspended from wire rope; the dancers used the pendulums as catalysts for movement\, their bodies reacting to the objects\, and each other\, as they moved through the field. Forsythe has commented that the work’s choreography is “based on observations; so the dancers are observing the room\, observing each other\, and producing conclusions or expressing their observations”. By conceiving the Turbine Hall as both ‘nowhere and everywhere at the same time’\, this performance sought to unleash the kinetic and metaphorical potentials of the space. \nThe No.2 version does not involve a specific choreography or indeed dancers as such. The field of moving pendulums is retained\, and visitors are invited to move through them at will. In doing so\, they effectively generate an infinite range of individual choreographies. As the Berklee puts it\, “The spectators are free to attempt navigation in this statistically unpredictable environment but are requested to avoid coming in contact with any of the swinging pendulums. This task\, which automatically initiates and alerts the spectator’s innate predictive faculties\, produces a lively choreography of manifold and intricate avoidance strategies …” \nThe piece is accompanied by two of Forsythe’s short films. Solo (1997) is a performance for the camera by Forsythe himself that has close-ups and rapid cuts of his twisting body contrasted with overhead shots that capture his movements across a starkly lit stage. Antipodes I/II (2006) consists of two videos shown on facing screens suspended at different heights; on the raised screen\, Forsythe attempts to hold on to a table attached to the ceiling\, while in the second video he moves between two tables resting on the floor. The result\, which apparently dramatises Forsythe’s childhood belief that someone traveling to the South Pole risked falling off the planet\, subverts the relationship between embodiment and gravity. \nShould be fun. The performance/installation/movement piece is open between 8 November and 18 December; you need to book a one-hour time slot between 10am and 8pm (there is a maximum of 50 people per time slot so you should get the one you want).

SUMMARY:Hazem Harb: Dystopia is not a Noun
DESCRIPTION:Charcoal on paper holds profound significance for long-time Alserkal Avenue collaborator Hazem Harb – the black carbon dust echoes that which now settles in Gaza\, his home. In this ‘intervention’ he’s returning to the medium after ten years; “combining elements of abstraction and figuration\, the works attempt to visualise the unspeakable and encapsulate a profound sense of loss”. This week-long exhibition is part of Alserkal Art Week. \nTo 26 November. \n

SUMMARY:Abu Dhabi Art
DESCRIPTION:The fifteenth edition of Abu Dhabi Art\, which runs 22-26 November 2023\, will once again be the largest yet – there will be 92 gallery booths (a few galleries are in more than one section). They include 37 new and 55 returning galleries\, and they come from a total of 32 countries; 18 of them are from the UAE\, with Georgia\, Mexico\, Brazil\, Singapore\, and Chile represented at the fair for the first time. \nThe gallery roster represents a sizeable increase on last year\, which had 78 galleries. Abu Dhabi Art’s director Dyala Nusseibeh said that this year “represents a significant moment in the fair’s history … We are delighted to be able to attract such a diverse range of artists and galleries from around the world”. \nShe added that the growth was due in part to the work of Abu Dhabi Art’s global gallery representatives. Those are responsible for selecting/inviting galleries in four different sections – three geographies (Hong Kong\, North Africa and West Asia\, and Latin America) plus one for ‘Sustainability’. \n“The presence of so many new galleries at the Fair signifies how dynamic the local and regional art market has become over the last 15 years. By working closely with curators\, gallery representatives\, galleries and artists\, we are also ensuring that our gallery presentations offer unparalleled access to art histories and research\, ensuring visitors have the opportunity to better understand these wide-ranging global positions.” \nThe meat of the fair\, the Modern & Contemporary section\, will have 40 galleries. \nThe 2023 public programme includes commissions for Almaha Jaralla\, Samo Shalaby and Latifa Saeed in the Beyond Emerging Artists strand. The 2023 Gateway exhibition\, entitled Maqam\, is a show for Emirati artist Hashel Al Lamki. And works for sites across the emirate have been commissioned from Nujoom Al Ghanem and Mohamed Ahmed Ibrahim. \nThe fair’s Visual Campaign Artist for 2023 is Mohamed Ahmed Ibrahim – noted for his commitment to the environment and natural beauty of his birthplace\, Khorfakkan. The Visual Campaign Artist is tasked with creating the fair’s visual campaign\, and the chosen images are then used across marketing materials to define the identity of the fair. \nAbu Dhabi Art is at the Manarat Al Saadiyat as usual\, open 5-9pm 2-9pm for general admission on Thursday 23 to Sunday 26 November. Entry is free\, but you need to preregister via the website to get a complimentary ticket. \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Coulrophobia (Fear of Clowns)
DESCRIPTION:Gaby Milky writes and directs this “musical-ish satire”\, first seen back in 2017. The king of Blinktonasia is imposing a strict regime that requires eradication of the clowns\, the threat to his monarchy; so he orders the Professor to devise a machine that lobotomises them. In the face of persecution yet enboldened by their sense of purpose\, the clowns do everything in their power to preserve their identity … \nGaby Milky is an award-winning filmmaker\, animator\, and theatre director with Gambian-Lebanese heritage. He relocated to the UAE a couple of years ago\, and his short play Corporate Manifesto has won a Short+Sweet People’s Choice award.
