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:Dhai Dubai
DESCRIPTION:Dhai Dubai\, Dubai Culture’s light art exhibition\, has a very specific remit: just seven works but seven artists\, all Emirati. The theme for this second edition of the show is ‘Light Influences Life’. \nThe artists represent an interesting selection\, and the co-curators Amna Abulhoul and Anthony Bastic deserve credit for their choice. None are associated primarily with light art\, though Ahmad AlAreef would probably regard himself as a multidisciplinary artist who works with photography\, painting\, and sculpture; and both Hessa Alghandi and AlZaina Lootah work in 3D with practices that includes architecture and design. Fatma Lootah\, Mohammed Kazem and Khalid Al Banna are three well-known and well-established names with 2D and 3D work in their CVs; and the wildcard may be jewellery designer Alia Bin Omair. \nThere’s a programme of workshops for kids aaged 3-10\, and one bookable workshop for adults – Mobile Mastery After Dark\, a smartphone photography class that promises to help you master the art of low-light photography. It runs daily 12-18 November\, 5-9pm\, at House of Arts\, Floor 5; it’s free\, but pre-register here for your preferred date. \nDhai Dubai is at Al Wasl Plaza in Expo City\, 6pm to 11pm. \n \n  \n

SUMMARY:CLOSING TODAY Whispers of the Past
DESCRIPTION:This Aisha Alabbar Gallery exhibition in collaboration with Sotheby’s Middle East features five artists whose works explore the quiet persistence of memory and cultural inheritance – Najat Makki\, Khalid Al Banna\, Sara Al Haddad\, Sara Aref Ahli\, and Samar Hejazi. Says the gallery: “each artist approaches the idea of the ‘past’ through a distinct visual language whether through the tactile layers of textile\, the fragility of glass\, or the expressive gesture of abstract form. Together\, their works trace the emotional contours of personal and collective histories. Material becomes memory; thread\, light\, and pigment act as conduits for reflection …”
