SUMMARY:LAST CHANCE Alla Abdunabi: Are your memories of me enough for you?
DESCRIPTION:Alla Abdunabi’s first solo exhibition presents a new body of work that critiques and engages with simulacra\, a concept used in philosophy and cultural studies to analyse how symbols shape our perceptions of what is accepted as “real.” \nAlla Abdunabi is participating in the 2025 cycle of the 421 Artistic Development Program\, an annual capacity-building initiative that provides early-career artists in the UAE with the opportunity to explore new techniques\, test ideas\, and create a cohesive body of work for their first solo exhibition.

SUMMARY:LAST CHANCE Calder / Hiquily: Balancing Act
DESCRIPTION:A clever juxtaposition of works by two masters of the poetry of balance and movement that reveals unexpected harmonies between the artistic languages of Alexander Calder and Philippe Hiquily. Calder’s gouaches on paper\, with their bold colours and rhythmic compositions\, provide a visual counterpoint to Hiquily’s sculptural explorations of balance\, weightlessness\, and abstraction. These works\, essential to Calder’s creative process\, exhibit the same principles that animate his mobiles\, two of which are included in this exhibition – New Old Universe (1953)\, an elegant example of his ‘constellations’\, and Caged Stone on Yellow Stalk (1966)\, a rare standing mobile. With these works are four of Hiquily’s Girouette mobiles\, each representing a different season.

SUMMARY:A Room of One’s Own
DESCRIPTION:Curated by Duygu Demir\, NYUAD assistant professor of Art History and curator at the Art Gallery\, this exhibition features new work by current MFA students Maha Alasaker\, Yuehan Dai\, Nour Elbery\, Almaha Jaralla\, Tooba Shaikh\, and Shaima Shamsi that has been developed over the past year. A Room of One’s Own invites viewers to consider the possibilities that emerge when artists are given the freedom to create; the exhibition borrows its title from Virginia Woolf’s 1929 essay\, which argued that creative work requires both physical space and material support; the works on show reflect on personal and shared histories\, examining themes such as colonialism\, displacement\, systems of power\, environmental transformation\, and the boundaries\, mental and physical\, that define experience. To 25 May.

SUMMARY:Youth Takeover 2025
DESCRIPTION:The Jameel’s annual Youth Takeover is the manifestation of the Assembly\, an experimental learning programme designed to foster creative leaders aged 18 to 24 in the UAE\, “inviting the creation and curation of projects reflective of their generation’s areas of interest”. The Assembly 2024-2025 cohort comprises multimedia graphic designer Abrar Kebaili\, visual artist and designer Ayesha Fernandes\, multimedia designer and writer Desirée Barreto\, literary artist Ioanna Orphanide\, poet Jared Maxilom\, researcher and writer Manal Nadeem\, architect and researcher Omar Darwish\, exhibition designer Sanjushrree Subash\, and poet Syed Haider. \nThis year’s theme for the Youth Takeover – a physical takeover of spaces on the Jameel’s ground floor – is titled ‘Spoon Spade Shovel’. It covers experiments in how the Assembly members dig\, sift and stir through the world\, “offering a network of creative experiences as tools for excavation\, reflection and play … The exhibition presents a range of interdisciplinary works that use tools – literal and metaphorical – to question how we make and remake meaning”. These works sit uneasily beside one another\, but their differences are invitations rather than obstacles  “whether you sift or stir\, extract or excavate\, your experience will be shaped by the tool you reach for: its size\, scale\, heft and intent. You are invited to inhabit this instability and co-compose the meanings that emerge … What you take from this exhibition depends on what you bring to it”. \nThe artists are: \nAyesha Fernandes with Svabhu Kohli\nDesirée Barreto with Angie Pais and Mouza Al Hamrani\nIoanna Orphanide with Danae Orphanide and Ilya Akimov\nJared Maxilom with Halo-Halo Experiment\, Vinyl Souk and memoryall\nManal Nadeem with Khaled Esguerra and Jed Bacason\nOmar Darwish with Fatma Al Ali and Maitha Ali\nSanjushrree Subash with Danutė Vaitekūnaitė and Farheen Fatima\nSyed Haider with Hessa Lootah\, Souldier and Aqib Anwar \nBesides the commissioned artworks\, the Youth Takeover 2025 features a public programme.

SUMMARY:Layered Medium: We Are in Open Circuits
DESCRIPTION:Now this should be one of the highlights of the UAE’s exhibition year\, not just because of the content – it’s subtitled explicitly ‘Contemporary Art from Korea\, 1960s to Today’\, and South Korea is home to some of the most interesting\, groundbreaking work of the last few decades years; and the exhibition design reflects that. \nThe exhibition is a selection of works from the Seoul Museum of Art\, curated by SeMA’s Kyung-Hwan Yeo and Maya El Khalil for the Abu Dhabi Festival\, and it aims to cover the “legacy of material and conceptual combination\, exchange\, hybridity\, and innovation” in the radical Korean contemporary art scene. The title echoes Nam June Paik’s vision of ‘open circuits’\, where connection and meaning flow beyond boundaries; so the exhibition immerses the viewer in “the fluid intersections of consciousness\, technology\, and art”\, specifically showing “how artists work with varied technologies to intervene in\, interpret and mediate different scales of experience\, from the individual\, the archival and the collective\, to the abstract and yet to become …” \nIt opens with a curatorial discussion (5-6pm) featuring Kyung-Hwan Yeo and Maya El Khalil with artists Byungjun Kwon and Choi Goen; that’s followed at 6.15pm with conversation between the co-curators and exhibition designers Andrea Trimarchi and Simone Farresin from FormaFantasma. \nTo 30 June. \nAbove: Byungjun Kwon\, Dancing Ladders (2022) \n

SUMMARY:LAST CHANCE Adrian Pepe: A Shroud is a Cloth 
DESCRIPTION:Adrian Pepe’s poetic meditation on fragmentation and renewal gets an extended run at NIKA Project Space. It uses a monumental 200m2 woollen textile piece that previously wrapped a building damaged in the 2020 Beirut Port explosion to highlight the relationship between materials\, cultural landscapes\, and ecological intimacy\, “challenging the rigid demarcations between art\, labor\, nature\, and performance through a textile medium” as the gallery has it. \nThe works in this show\, all derived from a single source\, range in scale from intimate to monumental. Wool – cleansed\, processed\, manipulated\, and recontextualised – becomes a vessel for gestures\, images\, and rituals. Debris extracted from it – dirt\, seeds\, remnants of vegetable matter – captures the landscape within the material. Stitching\, felting\, and acts of assembly transform these materials into new compositions\, reflecting on material processes\, ecological intimacy\, and the fragility of being. “Wool has this capacity to hold time – it is resilient yet malleable\, intimate yet expansive\,” says Pepe. “In this exhibition\, I am exploring how materials are never neutral; they shape\, and are shaped by care\, labor\, and the environments they inhabit.”

SUMMARY:LAST CHANCE Laura Garcia Karras: Eidolon
DESCRIPTION:A solo exhibition by that French artist that explores “the spectral space between presence and absence\, giving form to what lingers just beyond perception” (the ancient Greek word ‘eidolon’ means phantom\, double\, or apparition). \nKarras’s works appear as delicate traces of something once vivid\, now fading\, like the echo of a body or the glimmer of a vanishing dream; the exhibition becomes a meditation on memory\, loss\, and the persistence of desire. As Karras writes: “We live surrounded by ghosts. Bodies fade\, but leave imprints. Desire wanes\, yet its echo remains. Artifice dazzles\, but beneath its glow\, matter disintegrates”.

SUMMARY:LAST CHANCE Flower Shop
DESCRIPTION:A group show – with Maria Andrievskaya\, Almendra Bertoni\, Katie Hector\, Jen Hitchings\, and John Denniston II– that invites us to think of colour not just as a visual element but as a language of its own. “Colour is what makes the world visible\, yet its perception is deeply personal. Does a vibrant burst of red or the delicate fade of blue appear the same to everyone? Or does each of us experience a slightly different reality?” The five artists “push the boundaries of how we see and feel colour”; the show’s title “was born from a fleeting yet vivid moment—passing by a florist and being struck by the explosion of hues\, an everyday spectacle that suddenly revealed itself as something more …”

SUMMARY:Zhou Song: Supernatural·Algorithm
DESCRIPTION:Zhou Song’s solo show echoes traditional Chinese landscape painting but employs symbolic imagery to explore relationships between nature\, technology\, and faith. The ‘anthropomorphic tree’ is central\, serving as a metaphor for nature’s alienation by technology – “these trees retain natural forms while merging with human features\, hinting at a future possibility: as algorithms silently infiltrate every corner of nature\, can it preserve its primal purity? Or will it inevitably fuse with human civilisation\, becoming an entirely new entity?” Song’s ‘Pencil trees’\, by contrast\, symbolise a primordial state. Their delicate lines and soft hues evoke tranquillity and harmony; yet pencils are also tools that embody human wisdom and carry the memory of civilisation. ‘Twisted candles’\, another key element\, suggest light\, hope\, and faith – but they are not just metaphors for religion and belief but profound meditations on hope and rebirth. They remind us that faith and hope remain even under technological upheaval. It’s a technologically transformed natural world that witnesses the collision of nature and technology and contemplates the future of humanity and faith … To 17 June.

SUMMARY:Moon Is The Oldest TV: dir Amanda Kim (2023)
DESCRIPTION:Kim’s documentary profiles the career of Nam June Paik and his pioneering contributions to video art. A timely meditation on the contradictory ways in which technology elicits both fascist tendencies and intercultural understanding\, the film charts Paik’s artistic evolution with an extensive archive of performance footage\, original interviews from Paik’s contemporaries and collaborators\, and a voiceover of Nam June Paik’s writings. \nIt screens alongside the current Layered Medium: We Are in Open Circuits exhibition of South Korean art from the last six decades\, which riffs on Nam June Paik’s vision of ‘open circuits’ where connection and meaning flow beyond boundaries.

DESCRIPTION:Experimental photography works by the Iraqui artist\, who says: “Inspired by the Sumerian myth and my archaeological excavations in our invisible life\, the mythological love series invites us to contemplate the magical love relationship between human women and the Anunnaki who descended from the heavens to planet Earth. This series reflects the concept of the eternal need to tame the anxious self; it embodies the mystery surrounding our existence between two worlds and challenges the construction of historical narratives about the ideologies of immortal love …”

SUMMARY:LAST CHANCE Al Braithwaite: MATAB
DESCRIPTION:Al Braithwaite is a contemporary artist from London who works across a variety of disciplines including sculpture\, assemblage\, found material and installation. For this show\, Braithwaite’s Material Abstraction (MATAB) comprises textured panels arrayed as physical sculptures. Says the gallery: “Their weight and conceptual terrain is contained within a language where flatness of form and potency of industrial energy is paramount … The artist asks questions by intersectioning materials: what happens when this touches that\, when one idea divides another\, when this angle reaches for another angle\, or when that thing becomes empowered as an abstract entity?”

SUMMARY:LAST CHANCE Michael Sailstorfer: Air Electric
DESCRIPTION:Sailstorfer’s fourth solo exhibition with the gallery brings together three series of works that explore one of the artist’s signature themes: energy. He reflects on energy in its various forms – as a source\, as storage\, as a transmitter\, as working material – in short\, as fuel for life. \nThe sculptural series C-Batterie plays with notions of classical sculpture such as eternity\, uniqueness and preconceived values. At first glance\, the five bronze casts on white pedestals seem to fulfil these ideas: but is this really the case? Referencing Joseph Beuys’ Capri-Batterie (1985)\, Sailstorfer creates wax models of the original Capri battery\, places them in beehives\, leaves the bees to work on them for a few months\, and then removes the moulds to cast bronzes from them. The results feels as if nature has taken over\, destabilising and questioning the so-called balance while capturing the transience and the creative energy of the moment. \nAnother set of casts made from ordinary lightbulbs\, using the same process\, are suspended from the ceiling with reference to their original function. \nSailstorfer’s latest series – Air Electric\, from which the exhibition takes its title – turns electricity into his painting medium. A power supply unit provides a constant flow of direct current that ‘paints’ silver on to copper mesh; the result is an abstract\, electric landscape of pale blue cloud formations against a golden sky. Occasionally\, certain\nshapes can be made out through the web of clouds\, but the interpretation of the work is ultimately left to\nthe viewer. \nThe final work in the exhibition is an addition to Sailstorfer’s Tank series (2020 on). Tank 11 (2024\, above) consists of an empty Audi fuel tank\, deprived of its original function and context; the tank takes on anthropomorphic features\, reminiscent of oceanic masks from a bygone era. The sound of breathing fills the last part of the room\, reminding us that energy in any given form is always fuel for life.

SUMMARY:LAST CHANCE Elias Sime: Through the Window
DESCRIPTION:The first solo exhibition in the Middle East for the Addis Ababa artist showcases Sime’s distinctive practice of transforming colourful wires\, circuit boards\, and electronic components into intricate\, layered compositions that blur the boundaries between technology\, nature\, and abstraction. \nThe title ‘Through The Window’ speaks to both literal and metaphorical apertures that frame perception\, whether through architecture or digital screens. His layered\, textured surfaces recall aerial landscapes\, circuit pathways\, and organic topographies\, offering a meditation on interconnectedness and the materials that shape our digital world.

SUMMARY:LAST CHANCE Maryam Hoseini: Swells
DESCRIPTION:The second solo exhibition at this gallery for the Iran-born\, NY-based artist features new paintings that revels in transplanting elements within themselves. Hoseini says “the figures have moved from architecture to landscape”; so the flat figure expands and multiplies in rounded limb\, breast\, buttock\, organ\, and thigh … Ground\, now rectangular\, sometimes rounded\, is repossessed by this swell. It grows as if vegetal. Devouring itself\, boring into the wood panel’s visible\, soaked\, grain like a termite\, the figure makes of such pictorial amplification a carnal feast …”
