SUMMARY:Same Same\, but Different: A Sit Down with Shawn and Friends
DESCRIPTION:An update of the show he did at this venue a month or two ago; Shawn Chidiac\, aka ‘My Parents are Divorced’\, is doing this chat-plus-comedy evening once a month at VOX Cinemas Mercato Mall until the end of the year. For the June edition\, Shawn will be joined by Saudi photographer/filmmaker Ghassan Luqman and Egyptian skateboarder Karim Nassar. \nChidiac has since successfully transitioned from social media fame to live comedy performances and podcast-style talks. He’s especially good at spot-on impressions; his act typically revolves around everyday scenarios\, cultural observations\, and light-hearted takes on family dynamics.

SUMMARY:Art History Evenings: Orientalism in Praxis – The History of Archaeology in the Middle East
DESCRIPTION:BFAF’s art history lecture programme continues with Zayed National Museum director Peter Magee\, exploring how the excavation and interpretation of archaeological sites in the ancient Near East was contoured by Orientalist thought and practice. In particular he focuses on the perception of ancient human habitation of desert areas as immutable across time and therefore unworthy of scientific analysis; by contrast\, recent research in the Arabian Peninsula has highlighted a dynamic relationship between humans and the environment which resulted in fundamental shifts in human society and organisation.

SUMMARY:The Best of Swan Lake
DESCRIPTION:A return to Dubai for this touring one-hour version of Tchaikovsky’s best-loved ballet\, seen here at couple of years ago. It’s danced by a company called Worldstars; it’s a well established touring outfit that aims to preserve the classical ballet tradition\, formed in 2010 and known for gala performances particularly around Europe. \nPast performances have typically had around 18 dancers\, and the music will presumably be recorded rather than live; but the dancers have CVs that feature many of the top dance employers (like Paris Opera\, Royal Danish Ballet\, Royal Ballet)\, so the quality should be good … \nThere are shows at 6.30pm and 9pm. Tcket-holders get a 20% discount on F&B at Jumeirah Zabeel Saray.

SUMMARY:LAST CHANCE Valdés
DESCRIPTION:A solo exhibition of works by Manolo Valdés\, the Spanish artist known for his unique approach of drawing from art history to create his paintings\, prints\, and sculptures in a signature style of pared-down forms and unrefined mark-making. Through meticulous reinterpretations of masterpieces by the likes of Velázquez\, Picasso\, and Matisse\, Valdés applies a modern sensibility that does link past and present.

SUMMARY:Surreal: Magical realism in animation & contemporary art of the Soviet & post Soviet space
DESCRIPTION:An exhibition of Soviet animation film by Priit Parn\, Fyodor Khitruk\, Andrey Khrzhanovsky\, Yuri Norshtein\, and Robert Sahakyants; and post-soviet video art\, paintings\, installations\, objects and works on paper by Blue Noses\, Diana Kapizova\, Nikolay Koshelev\, Alina Kugush\, Katerina Lukina\, Kirill Makarov\, Kirill Mikhailin\, Slava Nesterov\, and Diana Shliman. \nSurreal considers a space in Soviet art where the grip of the state was weakened. Animators like Fyodor Khitruk\, Andrei Khrzhanovsky\, and Yuri Norstein made works ostensibly for children but which explored surreal realms of fiction and magical realism\, offering an escape from the isolated Soviet reality and a means of connecting with the wider world. By the late 80s\, these unconventional animations were influencing a generation caught between a bleak Soviet socialist reality and impending capitalism. \nTo 14 July.

SUMMARY:LAST CHANCE In Real Time
DESCRIPTION:NYU Abu Dhabi Art Gallery is celebrating its ten-year anniversary with a characteristically interesting exhibition. In Real Time is a dynamic show – over the course of three months the curators will be adding artists\, and the artists and performers will add work. So far the roster includes some impressive names. Gallery (and magpie) favourites Ramin Haerizadeh\, Rokni Haerizadeh and Hesam Rahmanian are joined by Chafa Ghaddar\, Rana Begum\, Haleh Redjaian\, Moza Almatrooshi\, Gözde Ilkin and Cristiana de Marchi. \nThe prime mover is of course the Gallery’s Executive Director Maya Allison\, who has a ‘letter of intent’ that asks some pertinent questions: “What do we need from a space for art in this particular moment\, in this particular part of the world\, in the UAE\, in a university\, in an academic gallery?” Her intention is that the artists\, the visitors and the art gallery team essentially devise some answers\, or at least some opinions – “I hope this exhibition allows for any number of responses” concludes Maya Allison. \nThe contribution from the artists is obvious – they can make and remake art\, amending their presence over the course of the show. Some artworks start with no more than a statement of intent; some artists may just leave hints of a presence (“the artist was here\, and may be back”). Maybe there will be some works that last only one day. And the roster may expand during the show: “the artist list will grow\, if and when it seems right”. \nMuch the same applies to the gallery team\, particularly the curators: they can add more artists\, reconfigure the space\, expound and cajole. The principal curator is Duygu Demir\, quite recently arrived but carrying an impressive pedigree (and ad addressbook that has obviously contributed some of the participating artists). She’s expects to provide curatorial interventions\, maybe even collaborations. \nAs for the visitors\, their role may be more ephemeral: “this is an exhibition about visiting and revisiting\, about being physically present in the space\, with the traces left by artists who have been there\, or hints of those who will be there …” But in fact two of the works will be made entirely by the community\, and that could mean a contribution from you. \n  \n

SUMMARY:Hester Street: dir Joan Micklin Silver (1975)
DESCRIPTION:Silver’s entertaining debut was an unexpected hit\, achieving instant critical acclaim after a screening at the 1975 Cannes Festival. Carol Kane is outstanding as a Jewish immigrant arriving in late 19th-century New York\, to live in a tenement apartment on the Lower East Side with a husband who she hadn’t seen in three years. She finds it hard to adapt to the new way of life; he’s embraced the new world and his wife is a throwback to a culture that he desperately wants to forget. Kane is excellent\, channelling the film’s melancholy tone while investing her character with a degree of empathy that only heightens the emotion of scenes with a husband who wishes she no longer existed … \n
