SUMMARY:Consolidation is Reconsolidation
DESCRIPTION:Abu Dhabi is getting a new “curatorial platform dedicated to showcasing emerging artistic practices and cultivating new collector communities”\, which in practice means opportunities for both early-stage artists to show work and “a new generation of collectors” to buy it. Hyphen Contemporary’s founder Cecelia Jihu-Sara says she “wanted to bring fresh energy to both sides of the art world”: Hyphen’s first show\, a brief popup\, is at Region in MiZa with five UAE-based artists\, none older than 31 – Rayan Aljneibi\, Layla Doueidi\, Sara Kamar\, Martin Ong Yambao\, and Husna Samer.

SUMMARY:CLOSING TODAY MONOCHROMA 2
DESCRIPTION:You don’t see enough ceramic art outside the interiors business\, and then it just tends to be bowls; so this show by Double J Collective (“the first project based in Dubai exclusively dedicated to exhibit\, promote and sell fine craft and design creations”) in partnership with DCT Abu Dhabi is well worth encouraging. Few details\, but we’re promised that “diverse ceramic practices come together in a dialogue shaped by material\, perspective and artistic expression”.

SUMMARY:Star Wars – The Empire Strikes Back: dir Irvin Kershner (1980)
DESCRIPTION:The second in the original Star Wars trilogy (the third\, Return of the Jedi\, is coming soon) was directed by Irvin Kershner\, who added a bit of depth and emotion to the action in the tragic second act of the rebellion. Features the arrival of Yoda\, the Cloud City of Bespin\, John Williams’ score\, and the massive plot twist that nobody saw coming the first time round …

SUMMARY:Inherit the Wind: dir Stanley Kramer (1960)
DESCRIPTION:Stanley Kramer wasn’t afraid to confront social issues considered too controversial for the major studios. In Inherit the Wind he tackled the creationism v evolution debate. Acting legends Spencer Tracy and Fredric March go toe-to-toe in a titanic courtroom battle\, the sensational trial of a young teacher in a small Tennessee town who is prosecuted for teaching Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution in a high school science class. Deservedly nominated for four Academy Awards\, Inherit the Wind is recognised as one of the most entertaining\, powerful and provocative films of its era. Highly recommended.

SUMMARY:Vir Das
DESCRIPTION:The Emmy-winning comedian praised by the New York Times for redefining international comedy\, Vir Das is back at the Coca-Cola Arena this time for the Dubai Comedy Festival. He’s well worth seeing\, though this is a very big house for his brand of sharp\, fearless standup which always seems to work well in midsize venues … Still recommended\, though.

SUMMARY:Nathan Ellis: work.txt
DESCRIPTION:This is a participative play about a person in an unnamed city who has stopped working; the audience must work together to figure out why.
