SUMMARY:LAST CHANCE Bashar Khalaf: The Field of Dreams
DESCRIPTION:Khalaf explores the relationship between self\, object\, and other through a focus on ‘steel’ in public spaces: The Field of Dreams\, or “dreams as minefields”\, remind us of the modern structures of unbridled capitalism and the transformative domination of life. This is delivered via two series of oil paintings\, The Junk Garden and The Protective Shield. The latter is particularly powerful\, using garbage bins as symbols of resistance during the First Intifada – juxtaposing their role as protective barriers against the colonial settler machinery with the oppressive use of steel barrels to enforce isolation.\nKhalaf asks questions about humanity’s choices in the face of hegemony and the nature of freedom in contemporary society.

SUMMARY:LAST CHANCE All the Lands from Sunrise to Sunset
DESCRIPTION:“All the lands from sunrise to sunset”\, a phrase attributed to the Mesopotamian king Sargon of Akkad\, graphically invoked his claim to total dominion. Taking this assertion as both point of departure and provocation\, this exhibition includes works by Alla Abdunabi\, Fatma Al Ali\, Alessandro Balteo-Yazbeck (whose series of the same name provides the exhibition’s title) and Michael Rakowitz. Together they consider the persistence of imperialism through language\, image\, material\, and myth. \nSays the gallery: “Rather than presenting empire as a concluded historical form\, the exhibition treats it as an ongoing condition – one that mutates\, rebrands\, and embeds itself in contemporary visual culture … Across these practices\, the exhibition resists singular narratives. Instead\, it stages overlapping temporalities in which ancient empires\, colonial enterprises\, and contemporary geopolitical formations mirror and refract one another … Rather than offering resolution\, the exhibition invites sustained attention to the ways power endures\, adapts\, and continues to structure how the world is seen\, remembered\, and lived.”

SUMMARY:Monday Night Comedy: This Is Impro / Film Noir Improvised
DESCRIPTION:A two-act evening of spontaneous scenes and songs based on audience suggestions\, by some of our most experienced players and guests. After warming up with some fun games and scenes\, the improvisers bring the 1950’s Film Noir genre to life on stage using audience suggestions in an improvised murder mystery. “Heroes with blackened hearts and dames with revenge on their mind … everything is completely improvised each week\, and no two stories are the same. Join us amongst the murky underworlds where crime and passion cross swords and you’re never far from a man in a hat”. \nIt’s free\, but you need to put your name on the guestlist (via the website) – it’s first-come first-served\, so get there early enough to grab a seat.
