SUMMARY:LAST CHANCE Time That Grows Slowly
DESCRIPTION:A group exhibition based around site-specific installations and considering ecological\, feminist\, philosophical\, and postcolonial concerns. The core inspiration however is “philosophical reflections of time as growth rather than movement … Time\, as humans experience it\, is inseparable from the vegetal. The oxygen we breathe\, the food we consume\, the rhythms of agriculture and settlement — all are shaped by plant life. Yet this dependency remains largely invisible”.  The curator\, Alexander Burenkov\, suggests that the exhibition “proposes a toolkit for slowing down\, a reorientation of our sensorium to the rhythms of plants\, the creation of space for vegetal attunement\, reflection and contemplation in dynamic urban conditions\, and the raising of questions about how duration\, memory\, and lived experience are produced within such environments …” \nThe artists: \nMaha Alasaker Kuwait / UAE\nSrijon Chowdhury Bangladesh / USA\nOdonchimeg Davaadorj Mongolia / France\nPatricia Domínguez Chile\nLouis Guillaume France\nMevlana Lipp Germany\nSulafa Mohammed UAE\nTabita Rezaire France / French Guiana\nShaima Shamsi Saudi Arabia / Bahrain / UAE\nFarah Soltani Iran / UAE\nAntoine Renard France\nNadia Waheed Saudi Arabia / Pakistan / USA

SUMMARY:LAST CHANCE Petr Kirusha: Every moment is a fresh beginning
DESCRIPTION:A solo show featuring works that Petr Kirusha developed during his residency at Dom Art Projects. At a time of heightened geopolitical tension between the US and Iran\, Kirusha documented the landscapes of Al Quoz and the rapidly changing cityscape of Dubai – observations that evolved into paintings and works on paper. “Working with a post-digital approach to colour\, he leaves the white of the paper active — like a blank screen — and employs a technique that preserves luminosity in the lower layers of paint”. \n

SUMMARY:LAST CHANCE Rana Begum: Boundless Geometry
DESCRIPTION:Selected works from the Farjam Collection. Through a refined language of Minimalist abstraction\, the London-based artist blurs the boundaries between sculpture\, painting and architecture – “bringing together works that explore light\, colour\, perception\, and spatial experience\, the exhibition reflects Rana Begum’s distinctive visual language\, where geometry becomes fluid\, atmospheric\, and deeply sensory … Through shifting reflections\, layered structures\, and luminous surfaces\, Boundless Geometry invites viewers into a contemplative encounter with form\, movement\, and space”.

SUMMARY:LAST CHANCE Ahmad AlAttar: Human in the Loop
DESCRIPTION:Human in the Loop is a sound-based interactive installation that takes the form of a game of hide-and-seek between visitors and an unseen algorithm. Hanging ropes are suspended from the ceiling and visitors are invited to pull on them; each pull interrupts the continuous ambient sounds of nature with a brief\, glitch-like sound. At first\, these responses may feel random\, but with repetition\, patterns begin to emerge; and when the correct rope is found\, the system responds with a distinct and heightened auditory moment – a brief reward that signals discovery. Almost immediately\, the algorithm relocates\, hiding once again within the field of ropes\, and the search resets. \nSo what begins as playful interaction gradually becomes an act of careful listening and navigation. Human in the Loop reflects a contemporary paradox: we take pleasure in interaction even as it draws us deeper into technological rhythms that are increasingly difficult to step away from. \nAhmad AlAttar\, currently is a Senior Robotics Engineer at Dubai Future Labs\, was a participant in the 2024 cycle of the 421 Artistic Development Program (ADP)\, facilitated by Jolaine Frizzell. During preparation for the exhibition he was also mentored by Khalid AlAwadhi\, Founder & CEO of Remal\, and Dr Pradeep Sharma\, Director of the Arts\, Culture and Heritage program at the Salama bint Hamdan Al Nahyan Foundation. \nTo 13 September.

SUMMARY:Blind Symphony
DESCRIPTION:A concert with a difference – venue is absolutely dark\, and each audience member dons a light-blocking mask. The idea of course is that without visual perception your full attention is on the sound: “the most subtle musical nuances\, delicate vibrations\, and inner rhythms become clearer and more intense\,” as the blurb puts it. “Even familiar compositions reveal themselves in a new\, deeper\, and more powerful way under these conditions.” \nThe programme features works by JS Bach\, Arvo Pärt\, Philip Glass\, Max Richter\, and Ludovico Einaudi. It’s performed by a chamber ensemble (we don’t know exactly who) “enriched with rare instruments collected from different cultures around the world”.
