SUMMARY:Pouran Jinchi: Fly Like Dandelions
DESCRIPTION:Pouran Jinchi was inspired to embark on this new body of work after reading an article about a Guatemalan farmer forced to flee due to the impact of climate change on agriculture; her inspiration for this series stems from landscapes affected by climate change\, such as ghost forests and arid lands. \nIn her paintings she merges traditional calligraphy techniques with abstraction\, using written characters to delve into the complexities of perception\, reality\, and meaning. The core motif is a repeated Persian character for ‘trees’\, used to depictions of trees and tree trunks in a way that allows legibility to gradually morph into an artistic form. The inclusion of dots\, a fundamental starting point in Islamic calligraphy\, contributes to the portrayal of an arid landscape\, symbolising the lingering memories of a life that once was. The dandelion seed pod\, transformed into a calligraphic symbol\, drifts across these landscapes in Jinchi’s paintings – a powerful representation of the resilient migrants who\, much like dandelion seeds\, find themselves displaced yet determined to navigate a new path. \nTo 16 February. \nAbove: Pouran Jinchi\, Fly Like Dandelions 9 (2023) \n  \n

SUMMARY:Kamran Samimi: Before Nature (I Am Both Created and Destroyed)
DESCRIPTION:Kamran Samimi’s first exhibition with The Third Line draws inspiration from the land’s rich tapestry of natural materials. Delving into the concealed narratives of the UAE’s mountainous terrain\, Samimi’s practice is deeply rooted in a profound sense of place. As he explores the dynamics between human and non-human ancestors\, his multicultural identity (Iranian/Norwegian\, raised in rural Hawai’i) lends a distinctive perspective to unravelling these connections and conflicts. \nSamimi has harnessed the organic shapes of the UAE’s mountains and rocks for his Translations series. Alongside the paintings is a large stone sculpture titled Unbroken Column to be displayed outdoors in Alserkal Avenue.  \nTo 16 February. \nAbove: Kamran Samimi\, Meditation on Rain III (2023) \n

SUMMARY:Ishmael Randall Weeks: Desert Displacements
DESCRIPTION:The second solo exhibition at Lawrie Shabibi for the always interesting Peruvian artist who characteristically transforms fundamental geometric models into objects echoing the poetry of utility. Each of the works “weaves through the domains of architecture and design\, anchoring themselves within social and spiritual contexts from both Peruvian and Arab cultures”. To 9 February. \n  \n

SUMMARY:Being Borrowed: On Egyptian Migration to the Gulf
DESCRIPTION:An exhibition featuring 21 Egyptian artists and curated by Farah Hallaba\, Farida Youssef\, and Ali Zaaray. It’s the result of an collaboration that was first presented in Cairo in 2022 and brings the authors of this project together with research by NYUAD faculty Laure Assaf on second-generation Arab migrants in Abu Dhabi. \nBeing Borrowed is part of a larger aim to produce accessible knowledge that invites people to question and to feel. Migration and its effects – on families\, affects\, homes – is a widely shared experience; there is much to gain by opening the doors of knowledge production beyond academia\, and inviting the public to take part in this process. \nThis project is funded by the NYUAD Arts and Humanities Research Kitchen Al Mashhad initiative. To 7 February.

SUMMARY:The Fridge Open Mic Night
DESCRIPTION:Ten-minute performance slots at The Fridge’s well-equipped Alserkal Avenue warehouse venue. It’s first-come first-served\, but we’d expect some judicious balancing (if you’re up for it\, here’s the online registration form); the gig starts at 7pm\, so by our reckoning that’s at least 18-20 performers. The form invites bands\, solo signers\, spoken word artists and generic ‘performers’ to put themselves forward … We think it’s free to both performers and consumers. \n

SUMMARY:Khatia Buniatishvili
DESCRIPTION:An evening with one of the contemporary stars of the piano. Garlanded with accolades yet still only in her mid 30s\, Khatia Buniatishvili brings passion and vulnerability to her performances; she acknowledges that the folk music of native Georgia has greatly influenced her musicality\, and that is probably reflected in her warm\, sometimes sorrowful playing. “The piano is the blackest instrument\,” she says\, a “symbol of musical solitude”\, which even a pianist must become accustomed to. “I have to be psychologically strong and forget the hall if I want to share it with the audience.” \nHer recital should bring out the best in her\, from the melancholy lyricism of the Satie to a virtuoso climax in the energetic toe-tapping rhythms of Liszt’s Hungarian Rhapsody No.2. \nThis is a rare and highly recommended opportunity. And she’ll be playing the Dubai Opera Edition by Steinway & Sons\, one of the piano maker’s exclusive productions for specific international concert halls. The Dubai version for instance gets Arabesque patterning on the inner lid\, a music desk that echoes the traditional shape of dhows\, and legs and prop stick that draw inspiration “from the whirling sand dunes of Dubai” (not entirely sure where you’ll find those). \nProgramme: \n\n\n\nSatie Gymnopédie No.1\nChopin Prelude in E Minor op. 28 no. 4\nChopin Scherzo No.3 in C-sharp Minor\nBach ‘Air on the G String’ from Orchestral Suite No.3 in D Major (transcr. Buniatishvili)\nSchubert Serenade from Franz’s Schwanengesang (transcr. Liszt)\nChopin Polonaise in A-flat Major op. 53\nChopin Mazurka in A Minor op. 17 no.4\nCouperin ‘Les baricades mistérieuses’ from Sixième ordre: Second Livre de pièces de clavecin\nBach Prelude and Fugue in A Minor (transcr. Liszt)\nLiszt Consolation No.3 in D-flat Major\nLiszt Hungarian Rhapsody No.2 in C-sharp Minor (transcr. Horowitz)\n\n\n\n
