SUMMARY:Reynier Llanes: Reverie
DESCRIPTION:An exhibition inspired by French philosopher Gaston Bachelard’s comment on ‘reverie’ – “Reverie is not a mind vacuum. It is rather the gift of an hour which knows the plenitude of the soul”\, a space where imagination and memory intertwine to reveal profound truths about the self and the world. The Cuban painter embodies that vision in this exhibition\, curated by Celine Azem; “his canvases invite viewers into a dreamlike space where personal and collective histories merge … His work does not retreat from life’s struggles but reinterprets them\, transforming them into compositions where emotions\, memories\, and aspirations coexist in harmony”. \nTe exhibition introduces the latest works from Llanes’ The Poet series\, bridging ancestral echoes with contemporary realities; The Poet is an ethereal\, enigmatic figure drifting between memory and imagination\, past and present\, to become a vessel for the viewer’s own reflections. “The Poet is both wanderer and witness\, a keeper of memory embodying the ever-shifting human condition.” \nTo 14 June. \nAbove: Reynier Llanes\, Eve (2025)

SUMMARY:Maydan: A Living Agora
DESCRIPTION:This clever collaboration fills one of Leila Heller’s gallery spaces with work by artists from Toronto’s Zaal Art Gallery for a short run that coincides with Art Dubai – thus providing curated exposure for rather more work than an Art Dubai booth would allow\, and for a couple of days longer too. \nThe exhibition has a theme\, too – Maydan\, “a space of gathering\, exchange\, and dialogue\, both as a physical site and as a symbolic structure embedded in Middle Eastern\, South Asian\, and global cultures … It embodies evolving notions of collectivism\, identity\, and shared presence”. So Maydan: A Living Agora brings together artists from diverse backgrounds who engage with the social\, spatial\, and conceptual dimensions of communal space with works that reflect the idea of Maydan as a platform for negotiation\, memory\, and storytelling within today’s shifting cultural landscapes … \nIt features works by Shirin Neshat\, Marcos Grigorian\, Katya Traboulsi\, Zeinab Al Hashemi\, Arash Nazari\, Lorenzo Quinn\, Aref Montazeri\, Anton Bakker\, Sofia Yeganeh\, Katya Emelyanova\, Azza Al Qubaisi\, Jehangir Vazifdar\, Marwan Sahmarani\, Y.Z Kami\, Wassef Boutros Ghali\, Soraya Sharghi\, Reza Aramesh\, Parinaz Eleish Gharagozlou\, Mehdi Farhadian\, Farideh Lashai\, and Behrang Samadzadegan. \nTo 20 April. \nAbove: Mehdi Farhadian\, Allies (2023)

SUMMARY:Kuniko Kato
DESCRIPTION:Kuniko Kato is one of the world’s leading percussionists\, noted for astonishing virtuosity and flawless technique\, exquisite musical insight and expressive yet elegant performance style; we don’t know what her programme will be\, but she is equally proficient in traditional and contemporary works – she is particularly known for her interpretations of classic 1980s minimalist works by Steve Reich. As one review put it\, “Kuniko is at her best navigating the mathematical terrain of Reich’s score\, coaxing from it the personality of the music: anxious\, busy\, frenetic. Kuniko never ceases to surprise and amaze \,\,.” \nThis Abu Dhabi Festival performance is produced in partnership with the Embassy of Japan. \n
