SUMMARY:LAST CHANCE Leda Catunda: I like to like what others are liking
DESCRIPTION:The most comprehensive solo exhibition to date of Brazilian artist Leda Catunda outside her home country. Sharjah Art Foundation is presenting four decades of Catunda’s practice\, tracing the transformation of her art from figurative painting to hybrid forms that explore materiality\, abstraction and dimensionality; her works typically explore the limits of textures and materials\, exemplifed by her ‘soft paintings’ over materials like toweling\, bedclothes\, leather\, velvet and silk. But the scope is broad: from large-scale installations to elemental watercolours\, each piece embodies a sensuous negotiation between the handmade and the mass-produced\, offering a whimsical critique of pop culture and consumerism.

SUMMARY:LAST CHANCE Juliet Makhlouf: Admiring Ancestors
DESCRIPTION:More than 30 new paintings\, offering a comprehensive survey of the artist’s recent work. This show approaches ancestry as a living presence rather than a distant past\, reflecting on civilizations whose surviving traces – clay tablets\, systems of law and trade\, and foundational narratives such as the Epic of Gilgamesh – continue to shape collective human memory. The story of Syria is presented as inseparable from that of the wider Arab world\, formed through centuries of shared history\, values\, and belief.

SUMMARY: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”. \nThe exhibition is curated by SAF director Hoor Al Qasimi with Abdulla Aljanahi\, Curatorial Assistant at the Foundation. To 7 June. \nAbove: Jorge Tacla\, La Distribucion de los Primarios (The Distribution of the Primes) (1995)

SUMMARY:Ahaad Alamoudi: Sunkissed
DESCRIPTION:The motifs of the sun and its intense heat as well as the sand and its pervasive orange hue often serve to represent and condense the Gulf’s complex ecologies and aspirations. This selection of recent and newly commissioned works by Jeddah-based artist Ahaad Alamoudi draws on these stereotypical symbols to examine how collective identity and visual expression intersect\, emerge and unfold amid the region’s rapidly transforming landscape. \nAlamoudi’s snapshots of contemporary Khaleeji aesthetics playfully capture the give-and-take between developmental goals and their real-world manifestation. Viral memes\, talking falcons\, automated toy cars and insect light traps all function as tools to process accelerating change; together\, these works explore how the overarching desire for development is absorbed and rearticulated in everyday life. \nThe exhibition is curated by Amal Al Ali\, Curatorial Assistant at the Foundation. To 3 May. \nAbove: Ahaad Alamoudi\, Those Who Don’t Know Falcons Grill Them (still)\, (2018)
