SUMMARY: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 …” \nTo 9 May. The final presentation in the series\, Fahd Burki II.b will move fully into the three-dimensional; it opens on 16 May.

SUMMARY: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.” \nTo 1 June. \nAbove: Alessandro Balteo-Yazbeck\, #FosilFuel (2018\, detail. From the series All the Lands from Sunrise to Sunset)

SUMMARY:Samar Hejazi: In Circulation
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 …” \nTo 30 June.

SUMMARY: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”. \nTo 9 May. \nAbove: Rand Abdul Jabbar\, Earthly Wonders\, Celestial Beings (2019 – ongoing)

SUMMARY: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”. \nThe exhibition also includes two installations that mark real time – a bouquet of helium balloons that deflate slowly over the course of the exhibition\, and a diffuser that releases a fragrance created by Akinbola to fill the space temporarily and then dissipate. \nTo 24 May. \nAbove: Anthony Olubunmi Akinbola\, Arrangements #001 (Montgomery) (2026)

SUMMARY:Shezad Dawood: Skin of Dreams
DESCRIPTION:Shezad Dawood’s 25-year career spans painting\, textiles\, sculpture\, ceramics\, film\, performance and digital media. Fascinated by ecologies and architecture\, his work connects art\, science\, music\, environmentalism and technology to explore both alternative histories and futures\, through a process of continuous world-building expressed as an explosion of colour and multi-layered narratives; and that should make this first mid-career retrospective of the artist a must-visit. The exhibition\, which is curated by Jessica Cerasi\, features more than 40 works including painting\, sculpture\, monumental film installations\, and interactive virtual reality experiences – with more artworks being introduced gradually during the exhibition’s run\, which should repay multiple visits (it’s on till mid-September). Running alongside is a series of workshops on the themes of the exhibition. \nTo 20 September. \nAbove: Shezad Dawood\, Anselm Chapel\, Tokyo (2016)

SUMMARY:LAST CHANCE John Dilg: Found and Lost
DESCRIPTION:The Iowa-based artist John Dilg represents scenic panoramas as earth-toned paintings that feel immediately familiar yet poignantly dreamlike. Having specialised in abstraction early in his career\, Dilg’s evolution towards landscape painting retained an especial awareness of spatial relationships – “a consciousness of the physical and allusory [sic] weight of forms and structures\,” as the gallery puts it. “His landscapes transcend scenery\, becoming a lexicon of objects\, each powerfully charged with memory and meaning. Dilg’s paintings are wonderfully contemplative spaces\, where solitude and recognition coexist\, evoking our shared longing for meaning within nature’s vastness …”

SUMMARY:LAST CHANCE Abdulqader Al Rais: Al Nayed
DESCRIPTION:A retrospective for one of the artists who have played a central role in shaping the UAE’s modern visual identity\, featuring work from a career spanning more than five decades. Bridging heritage and modernity with authority\, Al Rais’s paintings draw deeply on Emirati heritage\, Islamic culture\, and the interplay between the UAE’s natural landscapes and architecture. As the gallery puts it\, “Al Nayed captures the cultural transformation of the UAE without nostalgia”. \nThe exhibition include rare works from the artist’s private collection and a selection of previously unseen new work\, but also draws substantially from five of the artist’s best known series – Alghaf\, inspired by the ghaf tree\, a national symbol of the UAE; Calligraphy (Hurufiyya)\, where Arabic letters function as visual and spiritual forms; Impressionism\, early depictions of UAE landscapes rendered with soft\, atmospheric brushstrokes; Alhaa\, a distinctive series of watercolours on paper; and Abstract\, which combines geometric elements with landscape compositions. \n

SUMMARY:LAST CHANCE Golden Ink: A Journey through Arab and Islamic Manuscripts
DESCRIPTION:This flagship travelling exhibition\, run in collaboration with McGill University\, Canada\, is a great chance to explore the richness\, inherent beauty\, and global impact of the heritage of Arabic and Islamic manuscripts. \nThe exhibition promises an exploration of the intellectual and artistic legacy of the Islamic world\, assembling a rare selection of manuscripts across disciplines such as science\, literature\, religion\, art\, and philosophy. \nThis should be a significant exhibition. Treasures from the Abu Dhabi Libraries’ collection will be shown alongside notable contributions from McGill University\, Zayed National Museum\, Louvre Abu Dhabi\, and some UAE private collections. Visitors can expect immersive displays\, digital interactives\, and a public programme including hands-on workshops; there will also be a richly illustrated exhibition catalogue\, which should become a collectors’ item. \nThe exhibition itself is free to visit\, but general admission to the palace is AED 65.

DESCRIPTION:The Dubai-based artist’s first solo show aim to capture the essence of Dubai\, and of belonging. Says the artist\, who is currently Head of Art at Dubai College: “my visual palette and material inspiration are rooted in the streets. I am drawn to the beauty of cracked\, stained\, and weathered walls as well as surfaces patched with plaster or paint – they read like large abstract paintings. Corrugated cardboard\, concrete\, sand\, rust\, tangled wires\, weathered wood – all find their way into my work\, each carrying a story of time\, place and texture …”

SUMMARY:Mulhaq: On Annexed Architecture and Peripheral Typologies
DESCRIPTION:This exhibition explores the quiet logic of annexed spaces and the peripheral architectures that shape everyday life across the Gulf. Through documentation\, case studies\, and spatial narratives\, it reflects on how these overlooked structures mediate between privacy\, family\, and urban form. \nThe exhibition reflects ongoing research by Amer Madhoun\, co-founder of Collectus Design & Architecture Studio\, conducted as part of Bayt AlMamzar’s first design and architecture residency. Developed over nearly three years\, the Mulhaq research residency has been conceived as a long-term process with outcomes that includes publications and the future renovation of BAM’s mulhaq (annex) as well as the exhibition itself. \nThis project is supported through the Modern Heritage Grant Program\, an initiative by the UAE Ministry of Culture\, in collaboration with Zayed University and Majra – National CSR Fund. \nTo 8 May.

SUMMARY:LAST CHANCE Nazilya Nagimova: Follow the Snail
DESCRIPTION:The first solo exhibition in the Emirates for the Münster-based Tatar artist Nazilya Nagimova brings together new works created specifically for her solo project at NIKA Project Space\, plus selections from earlier projects. \nNagimova explores memory\, migration\, and the search for belonging\, and these works share a thematic core: the artist’s ongoing experiments with felt (a traditional material of her ancestors)\, her engagement with the long histories of Tatar mobility and settlement\, and the idea of home as a mobile\, vulnerable\, and constantly transforming structure. Says the gallery: “The exhibition unfolds as a reflection on the fragility of shelter and on how personal and collective memory shape our intimate relationship to place and community”.

SUMMARY:Global Positioning System
DESCRIPTION:A group exhibition dedicated to mapping and navigation systems\, “telling stories of fast cars and donkeys\, spinning globes and street barricades\, cosmic highways and broken bridges …” Curated by Indranjan Banerjee and Lucas Morin\, the exhibition presents a wide range of practices\, from research-based critical engagements with infrastructure projects to conceptual works that question the very perception of distance. It’s in two parts\, reflecting Art Jameel’s specific geographic footprint at two extremities of the Arabian Peninsula: at the Jameel in Dubai\, the show centres on navigation systems and mobility networks; at Hayy Jameel in Jeddah the exhibition (which runs 20 May – 17 October) focuses on cartography and mapping. \nTo 4 October. \nAbove: Fayçal Baghriche; Souvenir (2012)

SUMMARY:LAST CHANCE Saif Azzuz: Invisible Fish
DESCRIPTION:This first solo exhibition in the Middle East for the SF-based Libyan-Yurok artist takes its title from a poem by Joy Harjo\, which considers cycles of transformation across land\, water\, and time\, moving from submerged environments to human settlement and industrial presence. This show includes paintings\, works on paper\, sculpture\, and moving images\, tracing an ecological and cultural history of the UAE prior to large-scale urban development; Azzuz approaches land and water as lived\, relational systems rather than extractive resources\, foregrounding marine environments\, fishing practices\, and water as both sustenance and connective force across geographies. \nThrough material experimentation and research-driven enquiry\, Azzuz positions water not only as a subject but as a shared condition – one that links place\, history\, and the ongoing negotiation between human activity and the natural world. The Algae Bloom series of paintings are central to this\, with Azzuz working wet-on-wet so that paint bleeds\, drips and merges to produce organic forms that feel suspended and continuously evolving. So rather than literal depictions\, these works function as sensory impressions of aquatic ecosystems shaped by rhythm\, fragility\, and transformation …

SUMMARY:Robert Powers: The City in Its Details – The Past and Future in Dubai’s Architecture
DESCRIPTION:A close look at Dubai’s urban fabric through the lens of architect and photographer Robert Powers. The exhibition traces the patterns and repetitions in architecture\, streetscapes\, industry\, and infrastructure that shapes the character of a city; taken between 2013 and 2025 in Deira and Bur Dubai\, the photographs document walkable parts of Dubai that have existed since the early days of the Union. Much of this older architecture may soon be demolished\, as its value is often unrecognised – yet these buildings hold beauty\, interest\, and cultural significance\, forming an essential part of the city’s history and collective memory. \nTo 10 May.

SUMMARY: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. Through an eclectic mix of perspectives and practices\, the exhibition embraces this simultaneity\, offering a space where contrasts do not compete\, but instead unfold together”. \nThe artists: \nZhang Ji (China)\nGary Lang (USA)\nConrad Jon Godly (Switzerland)\nKojo Marfo (Ghana)\nSantiago Parra (Colombia)\nSophie-Yen Bretez (Vietnam)\nTim Kent (Canada)\nUr Kasin (Romania)\nRichard Wathen (UK)\nYann Leto (France)\nHenrik Uldalen (South Korea)\nLu Xinjian (China) \nTo 15 May. \nAbove: Ur Kasin\, The Painter on the Road to Dubai (2024-25)

SUMMARY: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. \nTo 1 June.

SUMMARY:Abdulqader Al Rais: Al Nayed
DESCRIPTION:A retrospective for one of the artists who have played a central role in shaping the UAE’s modern visual identity\, featuring work from a career spanning more than five decades. Bridging heritage and modernity with authority\, Al Rais’s paintings draw deeply on Emirati heritage\, Islamic culture\, and the interplay between the UAE’s natural landscapes and architecture. As the gallery puts it\, “Al Nayed captures the cultural transformation of the UAE without nostalgia”. \nThe exhibition include rare works from the artist’s private collection and a selection of previously unseen new work\, but also draws substantially from five of the artist’s best known series – Alghaf\, inspired by the ghaf tree\, a national symbol of the UAE; Calligraphy (Hurufiyya)\, where Arabic letters function as visual and spiritual forms; Impressionism\, early depictions of UAE landscapes rendered with soft\, atmospheric brushstrokes; Alhaa\, a distinctive series of watercolours on paper; and Abstract\, which combines geometric elements with landscape compositions. \nTo 8 April. \nAbove: Abdulqader Al Rais\, Untitled\, from Serenity Series (2016).

SUMMARY:LAST CHANCE Anahita Razmi: The Task of the Mythologist
DESCRIPTION:Anahita Razmi’s video\, installation and performance works usually focus on issues of identity and gender and examine processes of cultural appropriation in which the meanings of existing images\, artefacts and thus identities are put into question by situating them in another context. Her sixth solo exhibition at the gallery references Roland Barthes’ Mythologies (1957)\, a seminal work on the subject that examines how culture turns mundane objects and practices into myths that convey ideological meanings; Razmi builds on this premise to find global power structures embedded in our material and virtual; for her\, symbols such as the fingers-crossed emoji\, a Turkish talismanic shirt\, or a 90s Britpop emblem hold unstable meanings\, shifting with context and use. The act of deconstructing these layered meanings is what Barthes describes as “the task of the mythologist.” \nFor Razmi’s ongoing Talismanic Polarities series (2021–present)\, unique Islamic talismanic shirts are pinned with buttons reading YES\, BUT\, NO and AND; “by foregrounding these semantic framing devices\, Razmi incorporates tools of interpretation into a renewed reading of an object that sustains multiple and even conflicting possibilities” says the gallery. \nA new work\, OA SIS (2025) features Oasis band T-shirts with evil eye appliqués covering the OA so that only SIS remains:  a signifier of Western masculinity revised into one of Eastern femininity or a comment on the commercialisation of feminism? Or both? Or more?

SUMMARY:Move Pause Return
DESCRIPTION:Gallery Isabelle is celebrating its 20th anniversary\, not least with this interesting exhibition that grew out of a conversation with Alexie Glass-Kantor\, Curatorial Director at Art Dubai Group\, around the notion of accumulation – as both a curatorial method and a lived experience. So for this 20-day exhibition\, 20 artists have been invited to participate – “artists … who were present from the very beginning\, who helped build the ecosystem alongside us\, and who have grown\, persisted\, and moved forward together over time”. \nThe aim is to reflect “an accumulated history of stories\, relationships\, and artistic development … Accumulation here speaks to first encounters and decisive turning points\, to emblematic works that shifted narratives\, to new introductions\, neighbours\, and the wider community that has enabled the gallery to remain present\, relevant\, responsive\, and adaptable across two decades”. \nThe exhibition itself features one new work each day during the run: writers\, collectors\, and curators have been invited to engage closely with a selected work\, contributing a short text that responds to their encounter with it. The 20 days will culminate in a reception at the gallery on 11 April\, where all works will be exhibited simultaneously to mark “a collective celebration of the scene we have built\, sustained\, and continue to shape together”.

DESCRIPTION:Set within an environment of visual overload and compulsive accumulation\, the work in this third solo exhibition at the gallery for the artist duo centres on the human figure at risk of dissolving into surface\, interface\, and pattern – a mere carrier of data and aesthetic signals. \nThe exhibition brings together a video work featuring the MetaHuman Viola (from the series Lunatic Poet\, 2024)\, whose fragmented speech echoes the pressures of contemporary digital life; and LIKEWISE (2025: above)\, a 360-degree installation composed of camouflaged mirrored panels – printed surfaces depicting parrots\, lobsters\, manicured hands\, lipstick\, and jewellery are physically disrupted through smearing and erosion\, merging digital production with manual intervention. Camouflage patterns\, advertising references\, and fractured reflections interrupt clear vision\, producing moments of visual saturation and pause …

SUMMARY:LAST CHANCE Saher Nassar: Chronicles from the Storm
DESCRIPTION:In this new body of work\, Nassar reflects on prolonged states of loss\, endurance\, and moral exhaustion\, translating deeply personal and collective experiences across multiple mediums. Says the gallery: “Rather than seeking resolution or catharsis\, the works dwell in a state of moral exhaustion where clarity is suspended and certainty dissolves. This prolonged experience becomes a reluctant muse\, granting the artist the distance needed to engage more deeply with his subject matter: studies of loss\, the collapse of familiar symbols\, the formation of new convictions\, and an intimacy with endurance that arrives without epiphany or closure …”

SUMMARY:LAST CHANCE Kais Salman: Remnants
DESCRIPTION:New work by Kais Salman\, who “places his audience among ruins … his recent body of work acting as a pile of forgotten images buried beneath decades of historical buildup … Faces emerge through Salman’s energetic brushwork\, only to fade back into the walls and dissolve into material debris. Therefore\, rendering his paintings as spaces of loss …” Recognised for his very characteristic abstract expressionist style\, Salman’s energetic brushwork and gestural application of acrylics in vibrant colours express an urgency and energy\,  “a space where introspection transforms into insight”.
