SUMMARY:Juma Al Haj: Interoception
DESCRIPTION:Centred on the concept of ‘interoception’\, the body’s ability to sense and process its internal state\, this exhibition examines how moments of crisis are internalised and transformed into material expression. Developed in response to the first missile attacks reported in the UAE in February 2026\, Interoception traces Al Haj’s instinctive return to painting as a means of processing fear\, uncertainty\, and collective anxiety; working through layered surfaces\, fragmented script\, and visceral mark-making\, the artist transforms deeply personal reactions into visual expressions of disruption and resilience.  The show is curated by Shamma Al Mheiri. \nTo 6 August. \nAbove: Juma Al Haj\, Disintegration (2026) \n

SUMMARY:Cross Scripts
DESCRIPTION:Lawrie Shabibi’s summer show is always a good one\, bringing together a good range of artists  – in this case a group whose practices\, as the gallery has it\, “move fluidly between categories\, resisting the distinctions that have traditionally separated art\, design\, architecture\, and craft … Geometry becomes ornament. Utility becomes sculpture. Traditional techniques are reimagined through contemporary forms. Historical references\, material traditions and systems of making are translated and reimagined …” The exhibition features work by Hamra Abbas\, MODU Method by Omar Al Gurg\, Farhad Ahrarnia\, Sarah Almehairi\, Kamrooz Aram\, Bernhard Buhmann\, Nada Debs\, Areen Hassan\, KAMEH\, Bil Arabi by Nadine Kanso\, Mehdi Moutashar\, Timo Nasseri\, Driss Ouadahi\, and Ishmael Randall-Weeks\, alongside pieces by Zein Daouk\, Carlo Massoud\, Mary-Lynn Massoud\, and Rasha Nawam. \nAbove: Ishmael Randall-Weeks\, Wind Variations (Ventifacts)\, (2023)
