SUMMARY:Supermarket
DESCRIPTION:A great idea from Foundry Downtown – a group exhibition featuring artists based in the UAE who are not (currently) represented by galleries. The organisers describe it as “for the first time\, a selling exhibition structured around accessibility\, discovery\, and dialogue. The project seeks to encourage a broader public to engage with contemporary art with greater confidence and curiosity\, while offering artists an opportunity to present their work in a context that is both visible and commercially supportive …” \nIn that context\, the title represents a quite deliberate borrowing from retail – though the curators are keen to emphasise that doesn’t mean crudely reducing art to merchandise rather than “critically asking what it means to ‘shop’ for art at a moment when value is shaped not only by artistic quality\, but also by visibility\, narrative\, and systems of legitimacy”. Still\, it is a selling exhibition\, with works at “an accessible price point” … \nWe count 36 artists on the list\, which should guarantee some variety – there must be something for everyone here … \nAhmad Makary\nCamila Schubert\nAfrorabian\nJuhayda Bittar\nIsaac Sullivan\nDon\nAdele Bea Cipste\nFink 22\nPreschelle Ann Biqueras\nJalal Mashhadi Fard\nFats Patrol\nSaif Chilmiran\nRon John\nAnita Shishani\nKarim Tamerji\nElisa Arienti\nLaura Puscasu\nFaxon\nRabab Tantawy\nRaghe Farah\nAsareh Ebrahimpour\nJumairy\nFarah Soltani\nGhalia Kalaji\nAntoine Deeb\nAlina El Assadi\nJude Maharmeh\n⁠Rania Kamal\nElizaveta Pugacheva\nSandra Fadayel\nBayan Dahdah\nAysha Al Shamsi\nMaha Zeibak\nNessma Djouhri\nKarim El Atrache\nMr Sharks \nWe’re told that the exhibition will be accompanied by a programme of talks and guided tours in collaboration with Nadine Khoury. \nTo 7 June.
