SUMMARY:LAST CHANCE Shamsa Al Omaira: Hard Like Tears\, Soft Like Glass
DESCRIPTION:A solo exhibition for Shamsa Al Omaira\, an Abu Dhabi based multidisciplinary artist and designer. Evocations of duality occupy a prominent position in her work; childhood bedding and memories of jelly desserts morph into soft-looking sculptures laced with hidden or overt symbols of harm in ceramic and glass shards. How precarious is childhood? \nAs part of the gallery’s programme\, Al Omaira was mentored by UAE-based curator and art critic Nadine Khalil over the last year\, resulting in a development of her practice and experimentation with new mediums\, including woodwork\, stitching and installation works.

SUMMARY:BAM Auctions Inaugural Sale
DESCRIPTION:The inaugural auction of what is described as “a secondary market platform focused on mid-range contemporary works from the UAE and the wider region” will consist of a “tightly curated” sale of 21 lots. The organisers\, from the Bayt AlMamzar artists collective\, say the intention is not to ape an existing model wholesale; “this is a modest and intentional first edition\, designed to establish a secondary market structure that can mature steadily over time\, built at a scale that allows us to remain attentive\, responsive\, and closely connected to the community it was shaped for”. \nPhone and WhatsApp bidding are available\, but require prior registration via contact@bam-auctions.com. \nAbove: Lateefa Bint Maktoum\, Observers of Change 4 (2011: this will be included in the auction)

SUMMARY:LAST CHANCE Ahaad Alamoudi: Sunkissed
DESCRIPTION:Alamoudi’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.

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” … \nAs we went to press we hadn’t had confirmation of the artists included. We’re told that the exhibition will be accompanied by a programme of talks and guided tours in collaboration with Nadine Khoury. \nTo 7 June.

SUMMARY:LAST CHANCE Douglas White: The Great Wave
DESCRIPTION:Throughout his practice\, White approaches sculpture as a kind of material alchemy – discarded substances are reworked forms that appear uncannily animate: industrial debris becomes wave\, tree\, or cosmic surface\, revealing unexpected continuities between natural forces and technological systems. \nTwo sculptures form the centre of the exhibition. In The Great Wave (after Hokusai)\, fragments of torn tyre rubber collected from roadsides around the world gather into a dense\, turbulent crest that rises above the viewer – one of the most recognisable images in art history\, understood as a moment of impending force poised above fragile human lives. And the monumental Black Palm rises through the gallery like an improbable organism\, assembled from lengths of discarded tyre rubber\, its trunk and fronds have presence of a living structure – an artificial tree grown from the residues of global mobility. \nAcross the exhibition White’s works reveal the hidden energies that shape material form. In the Lichtenberg Drawings\, high-voltage electrical discharges burn branching patterns directly into the surface of wood\, creating lightning-like structures that emerge through the interaction of energy and resistance. And the electroformed Black Sun works develop slowly through the accumulation of copper in electrically charged baths\, allowing metallic surfaces to crystallise over time.

SUMMARY:LAST CHANCE Déjà Vu
DESCRIPTION:Described as “the UAE’s first collaborative gallery exhibition”\, this 14-day selling show features more than 50 artists represented by 20 of the UAE’s leading contemporary art galleries. \nThe intention is to provide a commercial opportunity for the galleries\, which have been impacted by current events. The exhibition has been curated\, however\, and is themed: it “unpacks the incongruity and inanity of repeated cycles in three streams — the uncanny as it presents in historical mismatching and memory glitches; historical absurdity; and linguistic slippage”. The featured artists include Samira Abbassy\, Sadik Alfraiji\, Nabil Anani\, Ammar Al Attar\, Mirna Bamieh\, Lubna Choudhary\, Samuel Fosso\, Anahita Razmi\, Larissa Sansour\, Mithu Sen\, Seher Shah\, Slavs and Tartars\, Lantian Xie\, and Raed Yassin. \nParticipating galleries: Gallery Isabelle\, The Third Line\, Green Art Gallery\, Lawrie Shabibi\, Ayyam Gallery\, Carbon12\, 1×1 Art Gallery\, Grey Noise\, Zawyeh Gallery\, Efie Gallery\, Taymour Grahne Projects\, Aisha Alabbar Gallery\, Waddington Custot\, Leila Heller Gallery Dubai\, Firetti Contemporary\, Satellite\, Iris Projects\, NIKA Project Space\, Tabari Artspace\, and Total Arts. \nThe exhibition has been curated by Kevin Jones\, Artistic Director at Alserkal; Nada Raza\, Director of Alserkal Arts Foundation; and Zaina Zaarour\, Curator & Manager of Programmes at Alserkal Avenue.

SUMMARY:LAST CHANCE Aïda Muluneh: This Bloom I Borrow
DESCRIPTION:A new series of images by the Ethiopian art photographer\, her second solo exhibition at the gallery. The show includes 10 works that have never been seen before. \nMuluneh has been a distinctive voice in contemporary photography throughout her 25-year career; her vivid\, carefully staged photographs of painted figures in surreal settings draw on African iconography\, architecture and textiles to create narratives that blur the boundaries between photography\, painting and performance. Muluneh has developed an experimental process that bridges photography\, silkscreen printing and hand-painting to transform photographs into unique\, painterly objects. \nThe works are characterised by bold geometric compositions and recurring symbols such as eyes\, keys\, masks\, flowers\, and ancestral motifs\, mostly rendered in striking primary colours. They continue Muluneh’s ongoing enquiry into ideas of identity\, womanhood and heritage through a lens of material experimentation. \n

SUMMARY:LAST CHANCE Nihad Al Turk: Creatures of Hope
DESCRIPTION:Without formal art schooling\, Nihad Al Turk has developed a distinctive visual language that blends colours\, forms\, and patterns\, “preserving his naïve sensibility while conveying his philosophical outlook and artistic vision”. His paintings typically feature anthropomorphic shapes and figures\, a form of self-portraiture that reflects Al Turk’s view on humanity and his connection with the world – “these haunting\, creature-like beings represent the complexity of our human ecosystem”.

SUMMARY:LAST CHANCE Unfixed ground
DESCRIPTION:A group exhibition that approaches ‘ground’ as “something continuously produced: fractured\, inscribed\, and held in tension between erasure and persistence …” \nThe first of two spaces has works by Mandy El Sayegh\, Mohamed Ahmed Ibrahim\, Omar El Gurg\, and Rand Abdul Jabbar – painting\, sculpture\, and material assemblage that make visible the processes of layering\, repetition\, and transformation: Says the gallery: “Grids loosen into dense surfaces where language and gesture intersect\, while symbolic forms develop through accumulation and return. Elsewhere\, sculptural bodies appear suspended between terrain and figure\, suggesting ground as something both physical and imagined … Rather than resolving into fixed meanings\, these works hold multiple temporalities at once … The space becomes one of ongoing construction\, where meaning is contingent and continuously negotiated …” \nThe second space is quieter and more contemplative\, featuring works by Asad Faulwell and Dima Srouji where cycles of repetition and rupture unfold through painting and material fragments. Faulwell’s works have recurring gestures and figures\, “tracing forms of endurance that move between ritual and resistance”; Srouji’s practice introduces light and fragility through fractured elements without restoring them to wholeness. \nAcross both spaces\, “Unfixed Ground … reflects on how ground—whether material\, political\, or symbolic—is continually made and remade. In this context\, instability becomes generative: a condition through which forms are shaped\, undone\, and sustained”.

SUMMARY:LAST CHANCE The importance of staying quiet: Fahd Burki II.a
DESCRIPTION:In 2014\, an exhibition was held in Hong Kong under the title The importance of staying quiet; conceived by Saira Ansari and Umer Butt\, it was an attempt to find a minimal vocabulary within Pakistani art. A decade later\, The importance of staying quiet returns as a year-long dialogic exchange between Butt and Ansari as a series of presentations shaped through discursive encounters. This time\, the programme will examine the development of practices that have deliberately engaged minimal or abstract strategies. \nFahd Burki II.a\, the fourth exhibition in The importance of staying quiet\, extended the dialogue initiated through painting in Fahd Burki I via works on paper\, canvas\, and wood\, pulling through the two-dimensional language in shift towards 3D. The works on display here turn toward contour\, elevation\, and depressions\, explored through both actual and implied relief; “from the surface outward\, the edges crawl\, fold around the frame\, and consolidate into a single wooden form that anchors the centre of the presentation. The remaining tonally minimal\, monochromatic works hold the space in a light yet concentrated tension …” \nThe final presentation in the series\, Fahd Burki II.b will move fully into the three-dimensional; it opens on 16 May.

SUMMARY:LAST CHANCE Khozema Al-Aaed: We Walk on Stories
DESCRIPTION:Khozema Al‑Aaed’s solo exhibition reimagines cartographies\, reminding us that land absorbs our movements\, our wounds\, our hopes\, “becoming a living archive of human presence” as the gallery puts it. “The compositions resemble traces of cities once inhabited\, imagined\, or departed. Lines recall footsteps and pathways that may no longer exist\, yet continue to shape identity and belonging. Land appears not as a passive surface\, but as a living archive that absorbs stories\, wounds\, and hopes over time …”

SUMMARY:Art Seeding Festival: Al Khayat Chapter
DESCRIPTION:An interesting concept: “art can be ‘seeded’ into the urban environment\, where it evolves over time through interaction with people\, space\, and context … Rather than presenting finished works within gallery walls\, the festival invites artists to engage directly with the city — through murals\, installations\, and site-specific interventions. These works are encountered\, lived with\, and gradually absorbed into the identity of the place …” \nSo Art Seeding is essentially a street art festival. More specifically\, it’s a festival that references Al Khayat Avenue as an emerging cultural district — “extending the creative ecosystem of Dubai beyond established hubs and into new\, formative urban spaces”  via a festival “that moves beyond the traditional exhibition model and into the fabric of the city itself”. In practice this means artists from a range of countries and cultural backgrounds\, selected from an open call earlier this year and supplemented by around 100 students from Beyond Architecture Studio (one of the festival’s founders\, Sofia Tkach\, is also founder of B.A.S)\, will be creating works for the Festival including murals\, large-scale installations\, and studio-based projects (in Warehouse 33); in most cases this will be happening live\, so visitors can observe the artistic process in real time and engage directly with artists. \nThe programme also includes: \n\nPublic talks and panel discussions exploring art\, architecture\, and urban development\nHands-on workshops led by participating artists\nA live performance and public gathering on 19 May (the festival is being presented as a complement to Art Dubai)\n\nSofia Tkach is Director and Head Curator of the festival. The other two founders are Dmitry Melnikov\, the gallerist behind Reinvention Art Gallery (R/A/G); and Maria Kuznetsova\, producer. Between them they bridge architecture\, education\, curatorial practice\, and gallery-driven experimentation – all of which sounds like a decent basis for a placemaking artistic endeavour. \n

SUMMARY:LAST CHANCE All at Once
DESCRIPTION:A group exhibition that reflects on continuity\, resilience\, and quiet optimism at a time when the world can feel uncertain. Says the gallery: “All at Once speaks to the coexistence of multiple realities – personal and shared\, fleeting and enduring\, grounded and aspirational.

DESCRIPTION:The annual Faculty exhibition of the Academy of Visual Arts at the University of the Arts\, Sharjah. The curator is Tor Seidel\, filmmaker and lecturer in photography and video at the Academy\, and his statement includes this summary of the show: “I invited my colleagues at the academy to explore the theme of ‘white’ and to imagine it as a colour\, as light\, as a concept\, and as a memory. A sculptor works with malleable materials\, carves stone\, fires it in a kiln\, and casts it in a foundry. Each process is an immersion in colour and in the questions of line and form\, which light can express in very different ways. A printmaker will consider which colours to use and what role white plays in the tones and in accentuation. The painter faces similar questions; he can draw on chiaroscuro techniques to create a dramatic scene. Painters face similar questions; they can use chiaroscuro techniques to create a dramatic scene. Photographers\, film and video artists\, and animators are particularly dependent on light as a fundamental element of their work: if they don’t want to rely on automated processes\, they face complex issues. But these are merely technical and aesthetic issues that need to be resolved. First\, however\, the artist must fathom the mystery of white …” \nExhibiting: \nGeorgina Abood interior architect\, designer\, researcher\nMohamed Yousif sculptor\, educator\nMuatasim Alkubaisy sculptor\, educator\nAlina Erimia fashion designer\, educator\nMuhammad Asad Iqbal multimedia designer\nThaier Helal painter\nIman Ibrahim designer\, associate professor at the College of Design\nAndreea Lonhardt textile artist\, fashion designer\, lecturer\nTor Seidel artist\, curator\, lecturer\nJoshua Watts visual artist\, printmaker\nMaryam Al Qassimi visual artist

SUMMARY:LAST CHANCE Anthony Akinbola: Get Well Soon
DESCRIPTION:Durags are stretchable fabrics worn over the head to shape and protect the hair; in Akinbola’s practice\, they are both culturally loaded objects and a material he can reconfigure. For this solo show\, Akinbola assembles durags into compositions that are drawn from the structure of classical floral still-life paintings. Translating this genre into fabric allows the image to form through construction; petals emerge through stitching\, density\, and layering. The flower is not painted; it is built. \nAlongside the floral arrangements\, Akinbola works through another motif: bricks. Says the gallery: “The brick pattern … introduces a different register: a wall\, a structure\, a longing. It gestures toward the search for something that lasts\, and toward the idea of home as legacy … The title Get Well Soon operates as both a cue and a condition\, an everyday phrase that carries hope and uncertainty at once”.

SUMMARY:LAST CHANCE Of Land and Water: Works from the Sharjah Art Foundation Collection
DESCRIPTION:How do borders and ideologies attempt to contain open stretches of land and water\, and segregate those who inhabit them? What ties us to a place\, and what severs us from it? Which ways of living and knowledge can move freely across borders\, unbound by race and political ideas like the winds and tides? \nOf Land and Water brings together works by nine artists and collectives from around the world that grapple with some of these questions\, offering different perspectives on our association with and relationship to land\, water and homeland.

SUMMARY:LAST CHANCE Constructing the Orient: Fragments of a Western Dream
DESCRIPTION:Drawn from the private collection of Bassam Said Freiha plus key loans from the Ary Jan Gallery\, this exhibition of Orientalist works  unfolds across five thematic sections\, each focusing on a central motif within Orientalist visual language and examining how artists shaped their subjects into recurring archetypes. From imagined interiors and bustling marketplaces to archetypes of men and women\, the works on view invite audiences to reflect on how the ‘Orient’ was constructed through Western eyes and how these images continue to shape perceptions today.

SUMMARY:LAST CHANCE Sara Naim: From the Perspective of Language
DESCRIPTION:Sara Naim’s fourth solo show at the gallery is also her first public exhibition of paintings\, large-scale works produced between 2023 and 2026 that move between figuration and abstraction. The exhibition is accompanied by a new video performance\, Mother Practices Her Tongue (2026)\, which “abstracts the Arabic language into gestures and sounds that no longer produce coherent meaning … Together\, the paintings and video extend Naim’s ongoing investigation into how meaning is constructed through inherited systems such as language\, symbols\, and ideology”.

SUMMARY:LAST CHANCE Bashar Khalaf: The Field of Dreams
DESCRIPTION:Khalaf explores the relationship between self\, object\, and other through a focus on ‘steel’ in public spaces: The Field of Dreams\, or “dreams as minefields”\, remind us of the modern structures of unbridled capitalism and the transformative domination of life. This is delivered via two series of oil paintings\, The Junk Garden and The Protective Shield. The latter is particularly powerful\, using garbage bins as symbols of resistance during the First Intifada – juxtaposing their role as protective barriers against the colonial settler machinery with the oppressive use of steel barrels to enforce isolation.\nKhalaf asks questions about humanity’s choices in the face of hegemony and the nature of freedom in contemporary society.

SUMMARY:LAST CHANCE All the Lands from Sunrise to Sunset
DESCRIPTION:“All the lands from sunrise to sunset”\, a phrase attributed to the Mesopotamian king Sargon of Akkad\, graphically invoked his claim to total dominion. Taking this assertion as both point of departure and provocation\, this exhibition includes works by Alla Abdunabi\, Fatma Al Ali\, Alessandro Balteo-Yazbeck (whose series of the same name provides the exhibition’s title) and Michael Rakowitz. Together they consider the persistence of imperialism through language\, image\, material\, and myth. \nSays the gallery: “Rather than presenting empire as a concluded historical form\, the exhibition treats it as an ongoing condition – one that mutates\, rebrands\, and embeds itself in contemporary visual culture … Across these practices\, the exhibition resists singular narratives. Instead\, it stages overlapping temporalities in which ancient empires\, colonial enterprises\, and contemporary geopolitical formations mirror and refract one another … Rather than offering resolution\, the exhibition invites sustained attention to the ways power endures\, adapts\, and continues to structure how the world is seen\, remembered\, and lived.”

SUMMARY:LAST CHANCE 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”.

SUMMARY:LAST CHANCE Urdu Worlds
DESCRIPTION:A contemporary art exhibition dedicated to the Urdu language: according to Ishara\, “the show explores how language provides the tools with which we create and shape our internal ‘worlds’. Words\, rather than simply describing our surroundings\, give rise to our private lived experiences and shared cultural understandings”. \nCurated by Hammad Nasar\, the exhibition is a visual conversation around language between Ali Kazim and Zarina (it’s also the first comprehensive presentation of Kazim’s works in the GCC). Born in Aligarh\, India\, Zarina weaves Urdu script\, proverbs and poetry into her delicate print works; Ali Kazim\, a multimedia artist based in Lahore\, Pakistan\, grounds his ‘Urdu world’ in a sense of place while exhibiting an eclecticism of influences that reflects the composite and layered history of the language.

DESCRIPTION:For her first solo exhibition in the UAE\, curated by Nadine Khoury\, Samar Hejazi presents a body of work that explores how forms shift\, unravel\, and reassemble over time. Working across textile\, printmaking\, and spatial intervention\, her practice suggests that meaning is something continuously in flux; the exhibition unfolds through a series of open-ended questions around stability\, resilience\, and transformation. “Hejazi’s works carry traces of memory and labour\, where making becomes inseparable from thinking\, and material itself operates as a system of knowledge …”

SUMMARY:LAST CHANCE Jumana Emil Abboud: The Storyteller and the Obedient Tide
DESCRIPTION:Jumana Emil Abboud’s first solo exhibition in the Emirates draws on the lineage of Palestinian folktales and their continued resonance in the present – how stories inhabit landscapes\, shape personal histories and collective memory\, and create an enchanted relationship to the landscape. \nThe works in this show are like traces and fragments left by the tide’s ebb and flow; “they drift across time and geography\, fact and mythology\, and are grounded in the context of the Palestinian struggle for liberation and return” says the gallery. “Mirroring the exhibition’s title\, the tide’s devotion to the moon’s pull and the storyteller’s slow telling prompt the central question of the exhibition: how do we carry light\, across oceans\, across ruins\, across silence\, without letting it be extinguished?”
