SUMMARY:LAST CHANCE Nazgol Ansarinia: Instruments of Viewing an Obscurity
DESCRIPTION:Recent projects from the Tehran-born artist. Nazgol Ansarinia’s work examines the systems and networks that underpin her daily life – from everyday objects to routines\, events and experiences. She’s interested in the relationships they form to make up a larger social context. Ansarinia’s practice reflects upon tensions between private worlds and the wider socioeconomic realm\, and “how local iterations of a culture might act as a site for the hopes and fears of those living in a (faltering) globalised world” as the gallery puts it. This exhibition of recent work ranges across sculpture\, installation\, drawing\, and video\, representing ways of understanding the role of architecture in delineating interior and exterior spaces and private and public spheres.

SUMMARY:LAST CHANCE Maitha Abdalla: Between Metamorphosis and Reality
DESCRIPTION:With a mix of painting and sculpture\, this solo exhibition by the Emirati artist explores folklore\, mythology\, psychology\, and social constructs that shift between abstraction and representation. Says the blurb: “The exhibition highlights the power of art to spark dialogue\, inspire self-reflection\, and strengthen cultural connections within the community … Infused with drama\, melancholy\, and introspection\, [Abdalla’s] compositions invite viewers into a world of shifting emotions and fragmented realities”.

SUMMARY:LAST CHANCE No Trespassing
DESCRIPTION:Ishara’s first summer exhibition\, curated by Priyanka Mehra\, features six UAE-based and South Asian artists exploring their relationship with the street – “a collection of individual experiences that alternate between chaotic and orderly\, gritty and beautiful\, uninhibited and curated … ‘No Trespassing’ looks at the streets as a site of deconstruction and reinvention\, continually shaping and being shaped by those who pass through them”. So signposts\, building materials\, pavements\, lights\, street art\, scrapheaps and human traces all become inscriptions of a city’s movement.

SUMMARY:Afra Al Dhaheri: Restless Circle
DESCRIPTION:A selection of works by Afra Al Dhaheri that explore the structural effects of tension\, repetition and time provides Sharjah Art Foundation’s first show of Autumn. “Working with materials such as cotton rope\, fabric\, cement and hair\, the artist emphasises slow gestures\, intentional movements and the fatigue that can build from ongoing\, repetitive and even invisible labour …” \nThe exhibition’s title comes from a newly commissioned installation with the same name; that draws inspiration from desert plants that create spiral patterns in the sand as they move with the wind. For Afra Al Dhaheri\, this offers a metaphor for mental exhaustion and collective burnout\, the sense of being endlessly pushed to produce or perform: “in other works\, repetition emerges as a condition of making\, a method shaped by the interplay of tension\, weight and the ongoing rhythm of doing and undoing”. \nRestless Circle is curated by May Alqaydi\, Assistant Curator at the Foundation. \nTo 4 December.
