SUMMARY:LAST CHANCE Gail Spaien: Arranging Flowers
DESCRIPTION:The inaugural show of Taymour Grahne’s new project space in Dubai features the Maine-based painter\, the recipient of numerous fellowships amd now (after 30 years as faculty at the Maine College of Art and Design) a full time artist. Her wprk is precise\, full of strong colour and redolent of time and place yet at the same time slightly mysterious – and often providing what the accompanying text calls “an asymmetrical chorus line of color and texture” . Recommended. \n  \n

SUMMARY:Whispers of Play
DESCRIPTION:A group show for three young Japanese artists that celebrates the playful sensibility at the heart of contemporary Japanese expression – “a sensibility that transforms familiarity into wonder\, nostalgia into dream” as the gallery has it. \nThese artists have used Japanese pop culture and anime icons as emotional textures rather than cultural symbols. Each work becomes a quiet act of translation\, between inner and outer worlds\, between collective memory and personal reverie. Yukari Nishi constructs scenes of estrangement and longing in a dreamlike vision of mid-century America with faceless\, non-human figures and cinematic settings. Koichi Yairi creates collages with irregularly shaped canvases and translucent layers to translate fragments of daily life into abstract narratives. NANA SAIAKU’s works recall the fragility of emotion and the resilience of youth. \nTo 16 December.

SUMMARY:Al Burda Exhibition: The Shape of Meaning
DESCRIPTION:As a complement to the Nja Mahdaoui retrospective in the main gallery at BFAF\, this exhibition presents loans from the Ministry of Culture’s Al Burda exhibitions from 2008 to 2023. Al Burda was an annual exhibition where contemporary artists engaged with the cultural and semantic power of the written word while experimenting with form and medium; this exhibition provides a dialogue between calligraphy as abstract form and as linguistic tradition\, showing how artists today both inherit and reinvent tradition and highlighting how they can be both custodians and innovators \nThe exhibition is accompanied by a programme of calligraphy workshops and educational events highlighting the history of Arabic script. \nTo 25 January. \nAbove: Taj AlSer Hassan (2016)

SUMMARY:LAST CHANCE Majda Abdulshakour and Noura Ali-Ramahi: All is Here
DESCRIPTION:Inspired by Rainer Maria Rilke’s reflection that “It is here that we must love. All is here\,” this exhibition of painting and sculpture invites viewers to rediscover paradise not as a distant place\, but as something that exists within our everyday acts of seeing\, caring\, and creating.

SUMMARY:Besher Koushaji: Moments of Hope
DESCRIPTION:Koushaji’s exhibitions continues his exploration of memory\, resilience\, and the human condition with a new body of work that “reflects on a world shaped by displacement\, conflict\, and uncertainty\, yet illuminated by fleeting moments of beauty and strength”. His distinctive visual language of layered strata provides a richly layered canvas through which Koushaji weaves symbols of cultural memory such as lemons\, pomegranates\, and flowers as metaphors of endurance and renewal; at the heart of his compositions stands the figure of the woman\, embodying continuity\, tenderness\, and quiet power. \nTo 12 January. \nAbove: Besher Koushaji\, Untitled (2025)

SUMMARY:LAST CHANCE Thomas Dillon: The Raw and the Cooked
DESCRIPTION:This is Dillon’s first solo exhibition in Dubai; and it is claimed to be a milestone in the artist’s career\, featuring a body of work conceived and created specifically for this show. \nIn Claude Lévi-Strauss’s influential text of the same name\, the author identified binary oppositions – nature and culture\, raw and cooked – as fundamental tools by which societies organise meaning. For Dillon\, it is more than a reference; it offers a conceptual lens through which his paintings may be read – Dillon feels he is testing the limits of painting as a medium that can bridge instinct and intellect\, gesture and structure\, matter and form. As the gallery puts it\, “Dillon’s works remind us that art continues to operate like myth: as a space where chaos is given form\, where the elemental becomes symbolic\, and where human thought – raw and cooked alike – finds its most resonant expression”.

SUMMARY:Lala Rukh II: The importance of staying quiet
DESCRIPTION:The first part of this series\, Lala Rukh I\, presented a selection of photographs from the artist’s archives during her years at the University of Chicago (1974-76). Its speculative framework helped us to stage the evolution of Lala’s photographic sensibility\, as she refined her sense of composition\, framing\, and perception. This second exhibition of The importance of staying quiet completes the two-part observational inquiry into Lala Rukh’s photographic practice\, showing how it moved toward abstraction. The exhibition builds parallels across different bodies of work\, tracing how Lala both used and broke down photographic technique\, the visual\, and the conceptual into photo-documentation\, unique photo works\, video\, and drawing. \nTo 17 January. \nAbove: Lala Rukh\, Gadani\, 2001\, 07.00 – 19.00 (video still\, 2001)

SUMMARY:Devadeep Gupta: We Must Therefore Turn Our Attention Skywards
DESCRIPTION:A short pop-up exhibition for Devadeep Gupta\, presented by Prameya Art Foundation with the support of Alserkal Avenue and India Art Fair. The artist’s practice investigates the overlapping histories of colonial extraction\, ecological destruction\, and indigenous resilience in Margherita\, Assam – once a thriving rainforest ecosystem\, now devastated by over 150 years of coal mining. This project gathers anecdotal\, speculative and documentary traces of Margherita’s transformation from a lush rainforest to an environmental\, and public-health crisis; Gupta highlights the inter-generational resilience of the inhabitants of the land as a form of reparative resistance within sites of ecological collapse\, reframing survival as both an aesthetic and an ethical act. \nTo 23 November.

SUMMARY:Miramar Al Nayyar: Hujra
DESCRIPTION:Tabari Artspace’s first exhibition at its new Alserkal Avenue location is a solo show for Miramar Al Nayyar\, curated by Abeer Seikaly. In Hujra\, Al Nayyar “traces how flow crystallises onto canvas\, how light becomes matter\, and how painting absorbs the sound of vision\, grounding the process in the rock’s enduring presence as both origin and silent witness …. The exhibition unfolds as a dialogue between artist and curator\, where inner states of consciousness take form through body\, material\, and space”. To 1 December

SUMMARY:Fereydoun Ave\, Raana Farnoud\, Shaqayeq Arabi: IMPROVISATIONS
DESCRIPTION:The artists in this group show have distinct visual languages that do find commonalities: they “transform the familiar through acts of care\, attention\, and intuitive play … a shared attentiveness to what is provisional\, such as a line that wavers\, a form that repeats with variation\, or a gesture made in passing but left to settle”\, as the gallery has it. \nIn Farnoud’s paintings\, forms hover between presence and disappearance. Ave’s works honour simplicity\, allowing small elements to settle into poetry. Arabi assembles delicate sculptures\, where fragility becomes a kind of resilience. \n“In a time that often demands spectacle\, these works ask us to slow down\, pay attention\, and find presence in the modest\, fragile\, and unresolved …” \nTo 31 December. \nAbove: Fereydoun Ave\, Trompette de la Mort (2024)

SUMMARY:By the Movement of All Things
DESCRIPTION:A group exhibition curated by Hamzeh Alfarahneh of South African curatorial firm Art(Advisory) and featuring works by Hamra Abbas (Pakistan)\, Diana Al-Hadid (Syria-USA)\, Timo Nasseri (Iran-Germany)\, and four South Africans – Igshaan Adams\, Moshekwa Langa\, James Webb\, and Bronwyn Katz. \nThe exhibition continues Alfarahneh’s ongoing investigation into Global Majority abstract practices\, focusing on the affinities and resonances between South African and Middle Eastern non-figurative approaches. The title\, borrowed from Aimé Césaire’s Notebook of a Return to My Native Land\, sets the tone of active participation\, inviting the viewer to engage with the works not merely by projecting meaning but also by reflecting their own lived experiences. \nThe exhibition is organised through a framework that Alfarahneh terms ‘structures of knowledge’ – “a mode of thinking that interrogates what kinds of knowledge exist outside the dominant canon\, and what role curators and institutions play in safeguarding\, proposing\, and presenting non-institutional know-how\, thematics\, and ancestral wisdoms\,” as the gallery puts it. “Rather than offering neat oppositions\, this framework asks how exhibition-making can surface practices of knowing that operate through gesture\, lineage\, and embodied memory.” Should be interesting. \nTo 8 January. \nAbove: Igshaan Adams\, Dark comfort (i) (2024)

SUMMARY:Kamrooz Aram: Domestic Compositions
DESCRIPTION:A solo exhibition by Kamrooz Aram. The artist’s practice integrates sculpture\, painting\, and architecture\, creating a context for viewing cultural artefacts in a way that brings them back into the present. \nAt the centre of five collages\, for instance\, is a repeated photo reproduction. The image is the kind of colour plate typical of Western art history books from the mid-to late 20th century\, part of a decidedly Western taxonomy of museological and cultural representation – its own kind of artefact. \nIn making this series\, Aram excised the photo of the bowl from several copies of a publication he deliberately does not name. But in his collage works\, the artist uses images from his collection of books documenting Iranian art\, with the rule that they must have been published before 1978\, the year that Edward Said’s Orientalism was published\, engendering the field of Postcolonial studies and offering a clear before-and-after. \nTo 10 January. \nAbove: Kamrooz Aram\, Untitled (Paravent) (2024)

SUMMARY:Ali Kaaf: The Fire’s Edge
DESCRIPTION:The artist’s first solo show at Ayyam Gallery features Kaaf’s seminal body of work from his Rift\, Helmet and Ras Ras series. \nThe Fire’s Edge evokes the fragile threshold where ancestral practices meet modern erasure\, the line between scorched earth and fertile soil but also the vanishing space where knowledge\, ritual\, and ecology once intertwined. Says the gallery: “the title of the exhibition suggests a meditation on disappearance and persistence\, on how destruction\, drought\, and extraction cast a shadow over the possibility of renewal …” \nWith Kaaf’s photographic works in the Ras Ras series\, the medium is manipulated by fire. The Helmet series explores the intersection of past and present via blown-glass helmets thatv evoke the fragility of memory. Much like Kaaf’s use of paper in the Rift series — a material that is both resilient and inherently delicate — glass becomes a poetic vessel for themes of endurance and vulnerability. \nTo 10 January. \nAbove: Ali Kaaf\, Helmet (2024)

SUMMARY:Mohammed Joha: Houselessness
DESCRIPTION:In his latest work\, Palestinian artist Mohammed Joha redefines collage as “an architecture of rupture and reassembly\, both a method and a metaphor”. His works bring together scraps of fabric\, paper\, cardboard\, plastic and other salvaged materials\, textures pulled from shattered environments and fragments of personal history\, to form compressed\, jostling topographies; they convey not only violence and destruction\, but also endurance and resistance: a continuation of life within erasure. \nTo 11 January.

DESCRIPTION:Gil Heitor Cortesão’s fifth solo show at CARBON 12 (it is also the gallery’s 100th exhibition) presents a suite of large and small works extending his investigation into the fragile perceptive systems and architectures of modernity. Working with oils on plexiglass\, Cortesão constructs images that hover between coherence and dissolution\, framing painting as a system at once striving for and resisting cohesion; at the heart of this new body of work lies the artist’s ongoing series of photographs of modernist interiors and glass structures\, reconfigured and filtered by colour\, space\, and mood. \nTo 8 January. \nAbove: Gil Heitor Cortesão\, Glasshouse (2025)

SUMMARY:Salma Dib: Marks of Return
DESCRIPTION:Drawing from the charged visual language of street walls in Palestine in this\, her first solo exhibition in the UAE\, Salma Dib transforms those surfaces of resistance into layered compositions that speak of loss\, resilience\, and collective memory. Her works – painting\, installation\, and textile – become vessels of remembrance\, where every mark holds the weight of history and the quiet persistence of a people. The exhibition invites viewers to move through fragments of memory and presence\, reflecting on how the act of return continues to shape identity\, community\, and the hope for what endures … \nTo 7 January.

SUMMARY:Aliyah Alawadhi: Girl Parts
DESCRIPTION:“Childhood is a half-remembered taste: sweet\, sticky\, and sometimes spoiled.” In Girl Parts\, her first solo exhibition\, Aliyah Alawadhi expresses this residue in paint – bodies shimmering in pinks and creams\, mouths agape\, devouring and dreaming. Says the gallery: “These are not nostalgic visions of innocence but reimaginings of ‘girl’: an ancient inheritance of edicts around beauty\, shame\, and desire\, rewritten here with magic\, rage\, and much speculation”. \nThis Hunna Art exhibition is curated by Océane Sailly. \nTo 4 January. \nAbove: Aliyah Alawadhi\, Star Chips (2025)

SUMMARY:Tor Seidel: Riposte
DESCRIPTION:Tor Siedel explores how ‘vandalism’ by environmental activists in triptychs that consider whether these attacks can also be considered performative acts of art. He focuses on the protagonists’ actionism\, the shock or entertainment value for visitors\, and the professional dissemination of videos of the attack groups on the internet; says the gallery\, “this leads him to conclude that these are not only ambivalent forms of protest\, but also independent artistic acts. With paint bombs and soup\, the actors succeed in transforming significant works of art in unexpected ways and creating new experiences within the museum environment”. \nIn short\, actionism challenges the common perception that classical art and museum spaces are sacrosanct and expands the concept of art – it takes art as action out of the predictable white cube and into the spontaneous spaces of society\, transforming the museum into a stage for activist performances. \nSeidel reconstructs some of these attacks in three phases: a reenactment of the scene following the attack\, collecting statements from those involved\, and transforming the defacement into a new piece. The change\, whether lasting a few days or months during a complex or straightforward restoration\, means that the work has been forever altered by the presence of the videos filmed during the attack – “its transformation implies a new context of meaning that cannot be obscured”. \nTo 11 December.

SUMMARY:The Dice Player: Mahmoud Darwish
DESCRIPTION:A celebration of the life and work of the great Palestinian poet (b.1941  d.2008) that unfolds across six themed sections – The Son explores his childhood in Al-Birwa; The Poet highlights his early literary beginnings; The Exiled follows his displacement and travels; The Lover examines the role of love in his work; The Activist reflects his national commitment and the transformation of language into struggle; and The Absent Presence commemorates his enduring human and artistic legacy. \nRather than a biography\, the exhibition traces the evolution of his work through words\, images\, and music\, reflecting his vision of life and poetry; it offers an interactive artistic and cultural journey\, using AV technology to immerse visitors in Mahmoud Darwish’s poetry and prose. . \nThe title of course refers to one of his best-known poems: \nWho am I to say to you\nwhat I say to you?\nI was not a stone polished by water\nand became a face\nnor was I a cane punctured by the wind\nand became a flute… \nI am a dice player\,\nSometimes I win and sometimes I lose\nI am like you\nor slightly less … \nTo 13 March.

SUMMARY:Nick Brandt: The Day May Break Chapter Four – The Echo of Our Voices
DESCRIPTION:The Day May Break (2021–) is an ongoing global series portraying people and animals whose lives have been profoundly affected by environmental degradation and destruction. This fourth chapter of the series was photographed in Jordan\, one of the most water-scarce countries in the world\, and features portraits of refugee families who fled the war in Syria and now live in Jordan – an ongoing displacement largely driven by the effects of climate change. Many are forced to relocate multiple times each year\, following seasonal agricultural work and scarce rainfall. \nThis chapter in the series is a testament to connection and resilience — an affirmation that even when all else is lost\, we still have one another. Photographic historian Philip Prodger has described the series as “a landmark body of work by one of photography’s great environmental champions … Channelling his outrage into quiet determination\, the result is a portrait of us all\, at a critical moment in the Anthropocene”. \nTo 23 December.

SUMMARY:LAST CHANCE Whispers of the Past
DESCRIPTION:This Aisha Alabbar Gallery exhibition in collaboration with Sotheby’s Middle East features five artists whose works explore the quiet persistence of memory and cultural inheritance – Najat Makki\, Khalid Al Banna\, Sara Al Haddad\, Sara Aref Ahli\, and Samar Hejazi. Says the gallery: “each artist approaches the idea of the ‘past’ through a distinct visual language whether through the tactile layers of textile\, the fragility of glass\, or the expressive gesture of abstract form. Together\, their works trace the emotional contours of personal and collective histories. Material becomes memory; thread\, light\, and pigment act as conduits for reflection …”

SUMMARY:Banksy
DESCRIPTION:Paris-based CHAMPOP Galerie opened an outpost in Downtown Dubai this summer. It specialises in pop art and street art\, and its first full-scale exhibition in Dubai features Banksy. On show are several originals plus screenprints and limited editions; the former\, for example\, include Never Liked This Banksy (2013)\, a characteristic stencil and spray paint piece on rendered brick that was removed by the building’s owners before the site was redeveloped. \nThe prints (like The Grannies below – unsigned but authenticated) will probably be a better representation of the artist’s work\, but it’s always interesting to see a chunk of original Banksy even if it’s no longer in situ … \n \n

SUMMARY:Dhai Dubai
DESCRIPTION:Dhai Dubai\, Dubai Culture’s light art exhibition\, has a very specific remit: just seven works but seven artists\, all Emirati. The theme for this second edition of the show is ‘Light Influences Life’. \nThe artists represent an interesting selection\, and the co-curators Amna Abulhoul and Anthony Bastic deserve credit for their choice. None are associated primarily with light art\, though Ahmad AlAreef would probably regard himself as a multidisciplinary artist who works with photography\, painting\, and sculpture; and both Hessa Alghandi and AlZaina Lootah work in 3D with practices that includes architecture and design. Fatma Lootah\, Mohammed Kazem and Khalid Al Banna are three well-known and well-established names with 2D and 3D work in their CVs; and the wildcard may be jewellery designer Alia Bin Omair. \nThere’s a programme of workshops for kids aaged 3-10\, and one bookable workshop for adults – Mobile Mastery After Dark\, a smartphone photography class that promises to help you master the art of low-light photography. It runs daily 12-18 November\, 5-9pm\, at House of Arts\, Floor 5; it’s free\, but pre-register here for your preferred date. \nDhai Dubai is at Al Wasl Plaza in Expo City\, 6pm to 11pm. \n \n  \n

SUMMARY:Marwan Sahmani: Rupture Into Light
DESCRIPTION:A solo exhibition of works (some never seen before) by the Lebanese artist “whose works emerge from the intersection of identity\, contradiction and modernisation” as the gallery has it. Born in the 1970s in war-torn Beirut\, Sahmani embodies Lebanon’s complex cultural context – where Mediterranean modernism crosses with Arab heritage: his bold abstract expressionism echoes the emotional turmoil of Lebanese history. \n

SUMMARY:LAST CHANCE Ruba Salameh: Refined Compositions
DESCRIPTION:In the face of genocide\, Palestinian artist Ruba Salameh finds her way forward through abstract painting – weaving her own narrative while connecting across generations to the work of art historian and artist Kamal Boullata. \nThis exhibition reflects primarily on the persistence of certain symbols\, such as the Palestinian flag\, in the work of Palestinian artists. Reducing the colour palette as a gesture encouraged Salameh to revisit an act similar to that of other Palestinian artists before her\, as an act of reclamation. It revealed how\, even with the passing of time\, these visual elements have remained charged with urgency and continue to inhabit the thoughts and practices of Palestinian artists.

SUMMARY:LAST CHANCE Elias Izoli: Inside Out ‘25
DESCRIPTION:After a long break from painting\, Izoli has returned with a new body of work centred around “the circus of life” – Izoli uses the circus as a metaphor for the unpredictability and complexity of life as a Syrian citizen. The circus and its family become a symbol of the broader social body\, with each character representing the individuals who comprise the state’s fabric \nRendered in his signature style of fragmented colours\, each portrait speaks of resilience\, illusion\, and “the spectacle of existence”. Each character is confined within their own space\, each gesture reflects the emotional weight and psychological barriers imposed by our world. The figures seem unable to escape or engage with a reality beyond their own world.
