SUMMARY:LAST CHANCE Bashar Khalaf: The Field of Dreams
DESCRIPTION:Khalaf explores the relationship between self\, object\, and other through a focus on ‘steel’ in public spaces: The Field of Dreams\, or “dreams as minefields”\, remind us of the modern structures of unbridled capitalism and the transformative domination of life. This is delivered via two series of oil paintings\, The Junk Garden and The Protective Shield. The latter is particularly powerful\, using garbage bins as symbols of resistance during the First Intifada – juxtaposing their role as protective barriers against the colonial settler machinery with the oppressive use of steel barrels to enforce isolation.\nKhalaf asks questions about humanity’s choices in the face of hegemony and the nature of freedom in contemporary society.

SUMMARY:LAST CHANCE All the Lands from Sunrise to Sunset
DESCRIPTION:“All the lands from sunrise to sunset”\, a phrase attributed to the Mesopotamian king Sargon of Akkad\, graphically invoked his claim to total dominion. Taking this assertion as both point of departure and provocation\, this exhibition includes works by Alla Abdunabi\, Fatma Al Ali\, Alessandro Balteo-Yazbeck (whose series of the same name provides the exhibition’s title) and Michael Rakowitz. Together they consider the persistence of imperialism through language\, image\, material\, and myth. \nSays the gallery: “Rather than presenting empire as a concluded historical form\, the exhibition treats it as an ongoing condition – one that mutates\, rebrands\, and embeds itself in contemporary visual culture … Across these practices\, the exhibition resists singular narratives. Instead\, it stages overlapping temporalities in which ancient empires\, colonial enterprises\, and contemporary geopolitical formations mirror and refract one another … Rather than offering resolution\, the exhibition invites sustained attention to the ways power endures\, adapts\, and continues to structure how the world is seen\, remembered\, and lived.”

SUMMARY:LAST CHANCE Jorge Tacla: Time the destroyer is time the preserver
DESCRIPTION:While Jorge Tacla was only an adolescent during the 1973 coup against Chile’s democratically-elected socialist president Salvador Allende\, the upheaval left an irrevocable mark on his politics and practice. Titled after a line from a TS Eliot poem\, Tacla’s “most expansive presentation to date” examines how enduring truths can be excavated in the aftermath of a destructive incident. \nStructured as eight ‘chapters’\, the exhibition traces Tacla’s sustained challenge to the supposed hierarchies of human suffering\, false binaries of victim and perpetrator\, and the structural violence connecting seemingly disparate events; the paintings reassert the primacy of human memory and perception in navigating the complexities of representation and interpretation. By depicting buildings and landscapes ‘in negative’\, the artist defines form through absence\, “creating images that reflect on how events are inscribed within individual and collective consciousness”.

SUMMARY:LAST CHANCE Urdu Worlds
DESCRIPTION:A contemporary art exhibition dedicated to the Urdu language: according to Ishara\, “the show explores how language provides the tools with which we create and shape our internal ‘worlds’. Words\, rather than simply describing our surroundings\, give rise to our private lived experiences and shared cultural understandings”. \nCurated by Hammad Nasar\, the exhibition is a visual conversation around language between Ali Kazim and Zarina (it’s also the first comprehensive presentation of Kazim’s works in the GCC). Born in Aligarh\, India\, Zarina weaves Urdu script\, proverbs and poetry into her delicate print works; Ali Kazim\, a multimedia artist based in Lahore\, Pakistan\, grounds his ‘Urdu world’ in a sense of place while exhibiting an eclecticism of influences that reflects the composite and layered history of the language.

SUMMARY:LAST CHANCE Samar Hejazi: In Circulation
DESCRIPTION:For her first solo exhibition in the UAE\, curated by Nadine Khoury\, Samar Hejazi presents a body of work that explores how forms shift\, unravel\, and reassemble over time. Working across textile\, printmaking\, and spatial intervention\, her practice suggests that meaning is something continuously in flux; the exhibition unfolds through a series of open-ended questions around stability\, resilience\, and transformation. “Hejazi’s works carry traces of memory and labour\, where making becomes inseparable from thinking\, and material itself operates as a system of knowledge …”

SUMMARY:LAST CHANCE Jumana Emil Abboud: The Storyteller and the Obedient Tide
DESCRIPTION:Jumana Emil Abboud’s first solo exhibition in the Emirates draws on the lineage of Palestinian folktales and their continued resonance in the present – how stories inhabit landscapes\, shape personal histories and collective memory\, and create an enchanted relationship to the landscape. \nThe works in this show are like traces and fragments left by the tide’s ebb and flow; “they drift across time and geography\, fact and mythology\, and are grounded in the context of the Palestinian struggle for liberation and return” says the gallery. “Mirroring the exhibition’s title\, the tide’s devotion to the moon’s pull and the storyteller’s slow telling prompt the central question of the exhibition: how do we carry light\, across oceans\, across ruins\, across silence\, without letting it be extinguished?”
