SUMMARY:Consolidation is Reconsolidation
DESCRIPTION:Abu Dhabi is getting a new “curatorial platform dedicated to showcasing emerging artistic practices and cultivating new collector communities”\, which in practice means opportunities for both early-stage artists to show work and “a new generation of collectors” to buy it. Hyphen Contemporary’s founder Cecelia Jihu-Sara says she “wanted to bring fresh energy to both sides of the art world”: Hyphen’s first show\, a brief popup\, is at Region in MiZa with five UAE-based artists\, none older than 31 – Rayan Aljneibi\, Layla Doueidi\, Sara Kamar\, Martin Ong Yambao\, and Husna Samer.

SUMMARY:100 Years of Paul Guiragossian
DESCRIPTION:A landmark retrospective for one of the key modernist painters to emerge from the Levant in the twentieth century. Alongside significant works drawn primarily from the artist’s estate\, many travelling outside Lebanon for the very first time\, the exhibition – the first significant retrospective for Guiragossian since 2013 – includes archival photographs\, personal documents\, and other rarely seen materials that provide an intimate portrait of the artist. \nStructured as a chronological journey\, the exhibition traces Guiragossian’s artistic evolution from his early years in an Armenian family shaped by displacement and migration\, including the 1948 relocation from Jaffa to Lebanon\, through to global recognition. The exhibition also highlights the central role of three women in his life: his mother Rahel\, his wife Juliette\, and his daughter Manuella. \nThe exhibition has been developed in collaboration with the Paul Guiragossian Foundation and co-curated by Manuella Guiragossian with BFAF head curator and director of exhibitions Dr Michaela Watrelot. It’s the keystone of From a Shared Ground\, an homage to Lebanon through three concurrent exhibitions that explore how artists across generations have drawn upon experiences of homeland\, displacement\, memory and belonging. \nTo 17 January. \nRight: Paul Guiragossian\, Self-portrait (1948) \n

SUMMARY:Roots Before Petals
DESCRIPTION:An exhibition that brings contemporary UAE-based artist Lana Khayat into dialogue with Lebanese modernists Etel Adnan and Helen Khal\, linking distinct practices across generations of Lebanese artists. Says the gallery: “Their work differs in scale and sensibility\, yet each built an abstract visual language from the natural motif and shared engagement with the memory of homeland”. \nThis is one of three concurrent BFAF exhibitions under the title From a Shared Ground\, an homage to Lebanon that explores how artists across generations have drawn upon experiences of homeland\, displacement\, memory and belonging. \nTo 17 January. \nRight: Lana Khayat\, Fifth from Left \n
