SUMMARY:CLOSING TODAY Global Positioning System
DESCRIPTION:An ambitious large-scale group exhibition dedicated to mapping and navigation systems\, “telling stories of fast cars and donkeys\, spinning globes and street barricades\, cosmic highways and broken bridges … [it] delves into topographies\, transit lines and simulated landscapes to engage critically with the infrastructure of movement and navigation”. Set against real and imagined geographies and landscapes\, the exhibition asks questions about the infrastructures that enable transport and trade\, the promises of speed and progress\, the meaning of home\, and what ‘navigation’ means when the destination is not a place but a memory … It is curated by Indranjan Banerjee and Lucas Morin (both exhibition curators at the Jameel) and features 30 artists. A second ‘chapter’ of the exhibition runs at Hayy Jameel in Jeddah to 26 October featuring 22 artists – a third of whom are from the Dubai roster\, with new names making up the balance.

SUMMARY:Juma Alhaj: Revelation
DESCRIPTION:The first institutional solo exhibition by Emirati artist Juma Alhaj is the culmination of his participation in 421 Arts Campus’ Artistic Development Program. Grounded in reading\, journaling\, and philosophical inquiry\, it explores themes of reflection\, solitude\, and self-discovery; the exhibition marks “a significant and ambitious evolution in his practice” according to the gallery\, expanding beyond painting into installation for the first time. \nVisitors experience it barefoot (the space is carpeted); throughout the exhibition\, Alhaj’s abstract inscriptions\, encompassing both writing and image\, extend across glass\, fabric\, light\, and architecture – “shifting with the environment and the movement of visitors through the exhibition”. \nTo 10 January. \n

SUMMARY:Rocco and His Brothers (Rocco e i Suoi Fratelli): dir Luchino Visconti (1960)
DESCRIPTION:This epic study of family\, love\, and betrayal is one of Visconti’s most revered works; it’s also one of the defining films of a new realism in Italian cinema\, unafraid to confront the hypocrisies of the ruling class\, the squalor in urban living\, and the collision between generations. Rocco and His Brothers is the story of a tight-knit family that moves from Italy’s rural south to metropolitan Milan in search of a better life – with alarming\, unforeseen consequences. Operatically weaving the stories of five brothers across a vast canvas\, the film is an acknowledged influence on Coppola’s Godfather films; the extraordinary cast including Alain Delon\, Renato Salvatori\, Katina Paxinou\, Annie Girardot and Claudia Cardinale\, and this print has been beautifully restored to its original version.
