SUMMARY:CLOSING TODAY Afra Al Dhaheri: Restless Circle
DESCRIPTION:A selection of works by Afra Al Dhaheri that explore the structural effects of tension\, repetition and time provides Sharjah Art Foundation’s first show of Autumn. “Working with materials such as cotton rope\, fabric\, cement and hair\, the artist emphasises slow gestures\, intentional movements and the fatigue that can build from ongoing\, repetitive and even invisible labour …” \nThe exhibition’s title comes from a newly commissioned installation with the same name; that draws inspiration from desert plants that create spiral patterns in the sand as they move with the wind. For Afra Al Dhaheri\, this offers a metaphor for mental exhaustion and collective burnout\, the sense of being endlessly pushed to produce or perform: “in other works\, repetition emerges as a condition of making\, a method shaped by the interplay of tension\, weight and the ongoing rhythm of doing and undoing”.

SUMMARY:CLOSING TODAY Miramar Al Nayyar: Hujra
DESCRIPTION:Tabari Artspace’s first exhibition at its new Alserkal Avenue location is a solo show for Miramar Al Nayyar\, curated by Abeer Seikaly. In Hujra\, Al Nayyar “traces how flow crystallises onto canvas\, how light becomes matter\, and how painting absorbs the sound of vision\, grounding the process in the rock’s enduring presence as both origin and silent witness …. The exhibition unfolds as a dialogue between artist and curator\, where inner states of consciousness take form through body\, material\, and space”.

SUMMARY:Silajit Ghosh: Abstract Reality
DESCRIPTION:A solo show for the noted Indian artist\, whose paintings aim to explore the essence of reality rather than its literal representation. His signature use of strong colours evoke emotions rather than depictions – “his works feel like waves\, each with its own rhythm and spiritual undertone\, capturing vitality\, positivity\, and a profound sense of harmony” says the gallery. \nTo 10 January. \nRight: Silajit Ghosh\, Flowing to the infinity (2024)

SUMMARY:CLOSING TODAY Richard Hearns: Threshold
DESCRIPTION:A solo exhibition by the Lebanese-Irish painter\, born in Beirut and adopted into Ireland to bear a dual heritage that shapes his artistic identity. This\, his first solo exhibition in the UAE\, presents a new body of work that reflects his ongoing exploration of gesture\, memory\, and place. In these canvases\, Hearns engages with the idea of thresholds through imaginary landscapes. Improvisation\, layering\, and revision are integral to his process\, where the presence of pentimento traces of prior marks and decisions becomes visible\, revealing the evolution of thought and movement.

SUMMARY:CLOSING TODAY Lydia Nakashima Degarrod and Susan Ossman: Projects of Art Ethnography
DESCRIPTION:This exhibition brings together works by two artist-anthropologists with practices on the boundaries between scholarship and art. Their projects invite viewers to reflect on migration\, memory\, identity\, and the ways knowledge takes shape across bodies\, materials\, and stories. \nThe exhibition unfolds in six sections\, each anchored by a distinct project. Together\, these works and the projects they represent open a space where imagination\, intellect\, and emotion intersect. Visitors encounter not only completed artworks but also traces of their making – interviews\, documentation\, and collaborative processes – illuminating possibilities for associating ethnographic and artistic practices.

SUMMARY:CLOSING TODAY Tor Seidel: Riposte
DESCRIPTION:Tor Siedel explores how ‘vandalism’ by environmental activists in triptychs that consider whether these attacks can also be considered performative acts of art. He focuses on the protagonists’ actionism\, the shock or entertainment value for visitors\, and the professional dissemination of videos of the attack groups on the internet; says the gallery\, “this leads him to conclude that these are not only ambivalent forms of protest\, but also independent artistic acts. With paint bombs and soup\, the actors succeed in transforming significant works of art in unexpected ways and creating new experiences within the museum environment”. \nSeidel reconstructs some of these attacks in three phases: a reenactment of the scene following the attack\, collecting statements from those involved\, and transforming the defacement into a new piece. The change\, whether lasting a few days or months during a complex or straightforward restoration\, means that the work has been forever altered by the presence of the videos filmed during the attack – “its transformation implies a new context of meaning that cannot be obscured”.

SUMMARY:The Story of Art Lecture: It’s All in the Details – the Dutch Golden Age
DESCRIPTION:Bassam Freiha Art Foundation continues its monthly lecture series led by Dr Michaela Watrelot\, BFAF Curator and Director of Exhibitions. This it’s the artistic flourishing of 17th-century Netherlands\, where prosperity and everyday life found new visual meaning – think Rembrandt’s introspective self-portraits and Vermeer’s serene domestic interiors. Still lifes\, genre scenes\, and cityscapes reveal a society reshaping the purpose of art\, offering a deeper understanding of how beauty emerged from observation\, detail\, and the rhythms of daily life.

SUMMARY:Naqsh Raj: Half Light
DESCRIPTION:With this exhibition Naqsh Raj “invents a personal tool for grounding and connection\, balancing order with anarchy\, discipline with instinct and darkness with sparks of illumination … The repetitive expression in her work hints at a longing for predictability\, while the grid becomes a framework of order that offers comfort. Within this structure\, vertical dashes appear as symbols of strength\, an elemental part of her visual language”. \nIn her paintings\, brushwork collides with the mechanical application of paint: the thickness of the paint invites a tactile response. The characteristic grid over her work contrasts with these impulses of freedom ­ and Raj has a good relationship with geometry: she frequently activates a composition by dividing it into two\, opening space for a dual approach within the same frame. As the gallery puts it: “essentially\, her exploration in a self-imposed structure reveals a deep commitment to her evolving language”. \nTo 8 January. \n

SUMMARY:CLOSING TODAY Whispers of Play
DESCRIPTION:A group show for three young Japanese artists that celebrates the playful sensibility at the heart of contemporary Japanese expression – “a sensibility that transforms familiarity into wonder\, nostalgia into dream” as the gallery has it. \nThese artists have used Japanese pop culture and anime icons as emotional textures rather than cultural symbols. Each work becomes a quiet act of translation\, between inner and outer worlds\, between collective memory and personal reverie. Yukari Nishi constructs scenes of estrangement and longing in a dreamlike vision of mid-century America with faceless\, non-human figures and cinematic settings. Koichi Yairi creates collages with irregularly shaped canvases and translucent layers to translate fragments of daily life into abstract narratives. NANA SAIAKU’s works recall the fragility of emotion and the resilience of youth.

SUMMARY:CLOSING TODAY Hussain Jamil: Refracted Life
DESCRIPTION:In this exhibition\, Jamil presents a new body of work that explores how we see ourselves — and how we are seen — in an ever-changing world. Working with hand-formed polished steel wall sculptures\, woven metal mesh\, and mirrored sculptural surfaces\, he creates artworks that bend\, fracture\, and recompose the viewer’s reflection. Each piece is activated by presence and movement — so the spectator becomes a participant within the work. \n

SUMMARY:CLOSING TODAY Art Here 2025
DESCRIPTION:The fifth edition of the Louvre Abu Dhabi Art Here exhibition\, featuring six artworks by seven artists shortlisted for the Richard Mille Art Prize\, has been curated by guest curator Sophie Mayuko Arni under the theme Shadows – “exploring the interplay between light and absence\, visibility and concealment\, and the layered dimensions of memory\, identity\, and transformation”. \nThis year’s edition invited proposals from artists based in the GCC and Japan\, along with artists from the MENA region with a GCC connection. There were more than 400 submissions\, from which six were shortlisted for the Richard Mille Art Prize; the winner will be announced in December. \nThe exhibits: \nI remember a light: sculpture by Palestinian architect\, artist\, and researcher Ahmed Alaqra that reimagines shadows as urban traces\, referencing the traditional mashrabiya lattice screen. Made of stacked acrylic cubes containing 3D-printed shapes from shadow photographs of Sharjah\, the sculpture transforms fleeting encounters of light and architecture into enduring sculptural artifacts. \nEcho: an interactive light installation by Emirati artist and musician Jumairy. Visitors encounter a still water pond\, a single flower\, and ambient sound; reimagining the myth of Echo and Narcissus\, the work uses light and shadow to transform absence into intimacy and invite a deeper encounter with memory and the unconscious. \nskadw: an immersive audiovisual installation of light\, fog\, and sound by Japanese artist Ryoichi Kurokawa. Shadows are transformed into sculptural form; a single beam cuts through shifting mist\, creating ever-changing patterns of shadow and resonance. Inspired by the Japanese concept of Ma\, the beauty of negative space\, the work invites viewers into a meditative environment where absence becomes presence. \nTree Studies: the Kuwaiti-Pakistani artist Hamra Abbas has an installation of 31 stone inlay sculptures inspired by trees found in Pakistan and in the UAE\, including olive\, pomegranate\, and cherry. Using her distinctive lapis-on-lapis technique to create shadow-like foliage\, the works balance realism and abstraction. \nA Sundial for the Night Without End: a sculptural sundial conceived for a world after the sun by Japanese artist Rintaro Fuse. Formed from polished stainless steel\, the work reflects its surroundings while aligning three gnomons to past\, present\, and future North Stars. Installed beneath the museum’s dome\, it transforms cosmic time into a meditation on memory\, absence\, and the persistence of eternity. \nDancing shadows: a pavilion of swaying stainless-steel mesh\, inspired by traditional Kawachi weaving. Supported by slender columns\, the structure creates shifting patterns of shadow and light. Using recycled industrial material\, the architect duo YOKOMAE et BOUAYAD (Takuma Yokomae from Japan and Ghali Bouayad from Morocco) have created an installation that blends Tokyo and Marrakesh design traditions\, offering a poetic space where architecture moves like nature.

SUMMARY:CLOSING TODAY Fereydoun Ave\, Raana Farnoud\, Shaqayeq Arabi: IMPROVISATIONS
DESCRIPTION:The artists in this group show have distinct visual languages that do find commonalities: they “transform the familiar through acts of care\, attention\, and intuitive play … a shared attentiveness to what is provisional\, such as a line that wavers\, a form that repeats with variation\, or a gesture made in passing but left to settle”\, as the gallery has it. \nIn Farnoud’s paintings\, forms hover between presence and disappearance. Ave’s works honour simplicity\, allowing small elements to settle into poetry. Arabi assembles delicate sculptures\, where fragility becomes a kind of resilience. \n“In a time that often demands spectacle\, these works ask us to slow down\, pay attention\, and find presence in the modest\, fragile\, and unresolved …”
