SUMMARY:LAST CHANCE Lydia Nakashima Degarrod and Susan Ossman: Projects of Art Ethnography
DESCRIPTION:This exhibition brings together works by two artist-anthropologists with practices on the boundaries between scholarship and art. Their projects invite viewers to reflect on migration\, memory\, identity\, and the ways knowledge takes shape across bodies\, materials\, and stories. \nThe exhibition unfolds in six sections\, each anchored by a distinct project. Together\, these works and the projects they represent open a space where imagination\, intellect\, and emotion intersect. Visitors encounter not only completed artworks but also traces of their making – interviews\, documentation\, and collaborative processes – illuminating possibilities for associating ethnographic and artistic practices.

SUMMARY:Thousand Nights and One
DESCRIPTION:Written and directed by Rasika Agashe\, this magical look at the fate of Scheherazade\, the narrator of the original ‘One Thousand and One Nights’\, is back for one night only (it was at the Junction in March this year). Rasika Agashe says she has long been fascinated by the Arabian Nights stories; “reading them now\, I realize they are about strong women who navigate their survival through storytelling. That’s the power of storytelling!” \nAt the core of her approach to the Scheherazade story (a Sultan weds anew each day\, only to have the bride slain at dawn to preempt any treachery: Scheherazade bucks the trend by captivating him with her stories\, sparing her life with each new sunrise) is the enigmatic Fakir (Dee Gee)\, who holds the key to Scheherazade’s storytelling; and Amina (Audrey Vaz)\, whose journey of secrets and survival embodies the resilience of women in the face of destiny.

SUMMARY:LAST CHANCE Richard Hearns: Threshold
DESCRIPTION:A solo exhibition by the Lebanese-Irish painter\, born in Beirut and adopted into Ireland to bear a dual heritage that shapes his artistic identity. This\, his first solo exhibition in the UAE\, presents a new body of work that reflects his ongoing exploration of gesture\, memory\, and place. In these canvases\, Hearns engages with the idea of thresholds through imaginary landscapes. Improvisation\, layering\, and revision are integral to his process\, where the presence of pentimento traces of prior marks and decisions becomes visible\, revealing the evolution of thought and movement.

SUMMARY:LAST CHANCE 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”.

SUMMARY:LAST CHANCE Tim Kent: Horsepower
DESCRIPTION:A solo exhibition by Brooklyn-based artist Tim Kent that examines the historical and cultural significance of the horse. Working across large-scale painted interiors\, landscapes\, and invented worlds\, Kent transforms historical reference into contemporary compositions that hover between reality and imagination; “his works merge Renaissance perspective with modern imagery\, uniting architectural precision with expressive abstraction”\, as the gallery puts it.

SUMMARY:Michiko Tsuda and ::vtol::
DESCRIPTION:Dom Art Projects opens its new exhibition space and residency studios in Al Khayat Avenue with an inaugural exhibition that takes inspiration from the concept of time (and also plays on the meaning of ‘dom’ in Arabic: it can translate as ‘always). It features Japanese artist Michiko Tsuda and Russian artist ::vtol:: (Dmitry Morozov)\, both exhibiting in Dubai for the first time. \nTsuda is known for immersive installations exploring perception and space; occupying the main exhibition hall is an installation titled ‘You Would Come Back There to See Me Again the Following Day’ (above)\, a work which (in the words of the gallery) “explores our perception of time in relation to the evolution of new media\, their potential\, and the representation of the human being within them … It reflects the idea that our presence in time is multiplied\, refracted\, and never singular”. \nAlso showcased is ‘Takir’\, a “science art object” by ::vtol::. He works with sound\, robotics\, and emergent systems; this piece references the drying up of the Aral Sea\, looping endlessly\, accompanied by documentation\, research materials\, and reflections on the geography of Central Asia. “The disappearance of the sea is both a story of the Earth’s fate and a reminder of the consequences of imperial ambition and human exploitation — as well as an invitation to reflect on time in a geological dimension.” \nVisitors can also experience live performances\, including sound artist Peter Aidu’s interpretation of Steve Reich’s masterpiece “Piano Phase.” In Reich’s composition\, two identical musical patterns gradually shift out of sync\, creating a hypnotic field of rhythm and resonance; Aiduperforms it simultaneously on two pianos\, manually achieving the phasing effect through his own coordination. \nAlso taking place is Caryatid\, a performance by Elena Kovylina that embodies the mythic female figure from classical architecture who bears the weight of the structure upon her shoulders. The artist physically supports a heavy wooden model of a traditional reed house\, evoking the essential yet often invisible role of women as the foundation of home\, society\, and culture. \nOn the opening weekend there will be talks by the artists and a chance to see the studios\, which will be home to artists-in-residence. The schedule: \n28 November \n3pm – 4.30pm Guided tours of the exhibitions\n4.30 – 6pm Artist talk with Peter Aidu discussing how he reimagines music. Free\, but preregister here \n29 November \n3pm – 4pm Artist talk with Dmitry Morozov aka ::VTOL:: on science and robotics in contemporary art. Moderated by Alisa Bagdonaite\, Dom Art Projects Chief Curator. Free\, but preregister here\n4.30 – 6pm Artist talk with Michiko Tsuda\, whose practice explores how visual media mediates our understanding of time and presence\, will present her work and her career journey.

SUMMARY:Salma Al Marri: Résonances
DESCRIPTION:The paintings of the Emirati artist “unfold as fragments of a personal and collective mythology\,” says the gallery. “Navigating the space between memory and presence\, her visual language evokes the resonance of the self as both a persistent echo and a profound reappearance …” Everyday scenes are transformed into chapters of a living historiography\, where the painting functions both as a wall of remembrance and a tableau of the world’s stage – “a realm of birth\, rebirth\, disappearance\, and abiding presence”. \n
