SUMMARY:CLOSING TODAY Abdelkader Benchamma: Rumors from the Skies
DESCRIPTION:For his third solo exhibition here\, the French-Algerian artist has taken inspiration from Kometenbuch (The Comet Book)\, a 16th-century Flemish treatise depicting comets and fantastical apparitions; Benchamma suggests how astronomy and astrology\, science and folklore\, continue to overlap in shaping our perception of the cosmos via a new body of intricate ink drawings and landscapes . Meteorites\, crying stones\, and shooting stars drift across forests and horizons\, hovering between recognition and mystery; there’s also a monumental mural paired with a projected animation that extends this vision into immersive territory\, opening onto swirling\, otherworldly sequences of light\, texture\, and form.

SUMMARY:CLOSING TODAY Mahmoud El Safadi: Personal Sea
DESCRIPTION:Exhibiting for the first time in Dubai\, Lebanese artist Mahmoud El Safadi is showing a collection of miniature paintings on playing cards\, a series of works that reflect on the Mediterranean as a site of memory\, inheritance\, and continuity – “a littoral space that is at once connective and exclusionary\, communal and privatised\, fluid and heavily policed”. Referencing the card game ‘quatorze’\, Safadi layers imagery across the cards to create “a visual palimpsest where personal and inherited memory converge with broader histories of struggle\, surveillance\, and belonging”.

SUMMARY:CLOSING TODAY Sophie-Yen Bretez: The Unsaid Remains Remembered
DESCRIPTION:A solo exhibition by Paris-based artist Sophie-Yen Bretez for a new body of work that captures moments when one space becomes another\, when times overlap\, and when memory persists as life shifts forward. This “dramaturgy of passage” is expressed through bold\, large-scale compositions and shaped canvases. As she notes: “Silence is never empty – it holds presence\, remnants endure\, and memory lingers in objects\, rituals\, and landscapes”.
