SUMMARY:Nataly Aukar
DESCRIPTION:Lebanese-born and raised\, NYC based\, combining sharp city wit with anecdotes of a strict upbringing amid a civil war\, described by her mum as “really pretty when she makes an effort” and by her friends as “great when you get to know her”\, Nataly Aukur has gigged regularly in New York comedy clubs and has opened for several big(ger)-name standups. She’s done a few shows in Dubai (“I think I definitely startled the crowd in Dubai a little bit”) but we think this is her first tour as the headliner. She definitely deserves the spotlight\, even at these prices …

SUMMARY:The 7 Sins
DESCRIPTION:Last chance to see this series of Dubai-set playlets. They are written by three Dubai-based playwrights (Dee Gee\, Edwige Narbey\, Alex Broun) and directed by Dee Gee; cast and crew are drawn from 11 different nationalities – which is about as Dubai as you could get. The sins aren’t explicitly deadly\, but we are getting a modern take on them – with the emphasis on social media. The underlying idea is that vices like these can evolve with time; “as an audience\, we will experience the sins in today’s world and how our daily lives invite us to sin\, perhaps not always in our control …”. \n

SUMMARY:LAST CHANCE Timur D’Vatz: Arcadian Dreams
DESCRIPTION:A summer-long exhibition of work from one of the gallery’s stalwarts\, Timur D’Vatz\, featuring his signature mix of stylised figures and symbolic settings that owe something to mediaeval European tapestry\, something to Byzantine decoration. The title refers to the dawn of an early mythology\, located in a primeval forest\, manifested through magical flora and fantastic beasts; “there are starry skies and gleaming comets guiding both travellers and wild animals to the source of life\, which appears in the form of a Fountain or a Magical Flower. This is the focal point from where life and knowledge originate …”

SUMMARY:LAST CHANCE Always Growing
DESCRIPTION:Subtitled “look into the history of contemporary digital art in China” and curated by Jing She\, this exhibition features works from 10 artists or collectives from the contemporary digital art scene in China that showcase AI\, generative art\, 3D imaging\, gaming\, mixed reality\, somatosensory interaction\, computer programming composition and live coding. Says the blurb: “The use of technology in art creation goes beyond merely displaying technological prowess; the exhibited artists\, like Pao Ding in Chuang Tzu’s Essentials for Nourishing Life\, use technology to deeply explore and interpret the complexities of human society and culture\, finding new avenues for expression … These works aim to immerse the audience in an embodied experience that has no boundaries between virtuality and reality\, conveying distinctive Eastern aesthetics”. \nThe show also includes a presentation from the Research Center for Digital Humanities at Renmin University of China. \nThe artists: Baoyang Chen\, Dabeiyuzhou\, Fn Media Lab\, Zixuan Nian top)\, Raven Kwok (below)\, Uchan Sun\, Xiaolei Tian\, Changcun Wang\, Yicai Wang\, Mr. D.

SUMMARY:I Wish To Be Happy\, I Want To Be Yellow
DESCRIPTION:A group show for an eclectic collection of artists — Mohammad Alfaraj\, Aminah Al huqail\, Dalia Baassiri\, Richi Bhatia\, Jumairy\, Tamara Kalo\, Adrian Pepe\, and Alia Zaal. The common factor is that they “cultivate a visceral and intimate relationship with nature” and “blur temporal boundaries between presence and absence\, fullness and lack\, past and present\, engaging in generative rites that foster creation\, fertility\, and renewal … Bodies morph\, adapt\, and redefine themselves\, existing in states of transition and transformation … They embody the power of attraction and interaction\, functioning as entities that react and interact with their surroundings”. \nFighting though the thickets of verbiage\, this looks like it could be a top show for the new season: the participants are all interesting\, provocative artists with something to say and novel ways of saying it. \nTo 28 October. \nAbove: Richi Bhatia\, Assemblage Bed One (2014-24\, detail) Below: Tamara Kalo\, Olive Leaves Memories (2024)

SUMMARY:Mouza Al Hamrani: Homepage
DESCRIPTION:The first solo show by the Emirati illustrator and multimedia designer reflects the duality of the digital age — “celebrating the opportunities the internet has provided\, while also expressing the exhaustion and apprehension that come with a prolonged digital presence. \n“I aimed to capture this nuanced experience\, inviting viewers to reflect on their own relationship with the digital world. It’s a portrait of my own experience of the internet in this region during my formative years\, all the way to the current day.” \nMouza Al Hamrani is one of only four UAE-based artists to be accepted for Tashkeel’s popular Critical Practice Programme last year and worked with a mentor to produce a series of artworks that blend of traditional illustration and cutting-edge digital artistry. \nThe exhibition will be accompanied by artist-led tours and talks on 29 September and 13 October. \nTo 15 October. \n

SUMMARY:Rouge | Red Soil: dir Farid Bentoumi (2020)
DESCRIPTION:An occupational nurse in a chemical plant turns whistleblower over toxic discharges but has to balance fighting for the truth against the risk of alienating her entire family – many of whom work for the giant chemical works\, an ominous yet unavoidable presence that dominates their modest French town. \nThe result could be a goodies-vs-baddies thriller\, or (perhaps worse) a dogmatic dissertation on environmental advocacy; in fact it’s neither – yes\, there are (eco)thriller elements\, but the personal issues make it a rich study in real life. The whistleblower’s struggles for justice aren’t just with the company; she also has to face opposition from her father\, who has absolute faith in the corporation as a crucial job provider for the community. \nAs the review says\, it’s a “tense and timely thriller”. That’s helped in no small part by the quality of the acting (Zita Hanrot as the nurse\, Sami Bouajila as her father\, Céline Sallette as a committed journalist with a dark side). Also relevant: it’s based on a real incident (in Hungary\, as it happens\, but the same process is widely used around the world with the same dangers). \n \nThe film screens in the NAAS programme under the umbrella title Green Reel: Films for a Sustainable Future\, featuring independent films from around the world that focus on the environment and sustainability. NAAS is a collaboration between a number of cultural institutions in the UAE: the Goethe-Institut Gulf Region\, the Embassies of France in the United Arab Emirates\, the Embassy of Canada to the United Arab Emirates\, the Italian Cultural Institute of Abu Dhabi\, the Embassy of Switzerland to the United Arab Emirates and the Kingdom of Bahrain\, and Alliance Française Dubai. \nNAAS: Green Reel runs from 10 September to 26 November at Alliance Française Dubai. The screenings are all free and subtitled in English. \nUpcoming: (click the title for the link) \n24 September Ökozid | Ecocide dir Andres Veiel (2020)\n8 October Siccità | Dry dir Paolo Virzì (2022)\n22 October Animal dir Cyril Dion (2021)\n5 November Taste the Waste dir Valentin Thurn (2011)\n12 November More than Honey dir Markus Imhoof (2012)\n19 November Hadwin’s Judgement dir Sasha Snow (2015)\n26 November Dans la brume | Just a Breath Away dir Daniel Roby (2018)

SUMMARY:Putting the Record Straight: The Lost Women of Art History
DESCRIPTION:A seven-part lecture series by art historian Rose Balston on female artists from the 16th through to the 18th century – “women who have not only been side-lined\, but literally (and shockingly) blocked out of history”\, mainly by the (male) custodians of 19th-century art history. The talks run every other Wednesday to 4 December from 11am to 12.30pm; individual sessions are AED 250 per person\, but there’s a deal for all seven at AED 1\,650. \nThe schedule: \n11 Sept Blazing the Trail: Sofonisba Anguissola\nIn the 16th century\, Sofonisba Anguissola painted her way out of domesticity to unprecedented fame\, earning accolades from (among others) Michelangelo and Van Dyck. \n25 Sept The Secret Renaissance: The Women of Bologna\nThe female artists of 16th and 17th century Bologna flourished in this city and became part of its cultural identity. \n9 Oct Artemisia Gentileschi: Art and Power\nThe most famous of all female artists from this period\, Artemisia secured her place among the Baroque masters with astonishing paintings that powerfully reflect her personal struggles and cultural triumphs. \n23 Oct Women who Shaped the Dutch Golden Age: Legacy Reclaimed\nExplore the Dutch Golden Age through the lens of groundbreaking female artists who often outshone their male counterparts. \n6 Nov Rococo Rock Star: Rosalba Carriera\nCarriera was a canny businesswoman who revolutionised pastel painting\, captivated the Grand Tour elite\, and became an international cultural celebrity. \n20 Nov In the Court of Versailles: Élisabeth Vigée-Lebrun & Adélaïde Labille-Guiard\nCreating sensational portraits of their royal patrons\, the two top female painters in pre-Revolutionary France had nothing to be rivals about except that they both existed in a world not intended for them. \n4 Dec Angelica Kauffman: Prodigy\, Pioneer\nAngelica Kauffman\, a founding member of the Royal Academy\, achieved international renown as both a portrait and history painter. Why then has she been sidelined in art history?

SUMMARY:Wednesday Night Impro: Maestro
DESCRIPTION:The Courtyard’s regular evening of elimination improv. Ten actors converge for a night of scenes\, songs and games based on audience suggestions. After each round you score the players on a scale of 1 to 5\, and the one with the lowest score is knocked out. Eventually only one remains\, to be crowned the Maestro. “Fast-paced\, unpredictable\, and hilarious” says the promo\, and you couldn’t argue with that. As with all Courtyard improv evenings it’s free\, but you need to put your name on the guestlist (via the website); and it’s first-come first-served\, so get there early to grab a seat. \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Chicago
DESCRIPTION:The longest running American musical in Broadway history – and “the most exciting musical of its generation” (The Times) – is coming to Yas for a decent run from 12-22 September 2024. \nFirst seen in 1975 and still an all-round stunner\, it is based on a 1926 play by one-time reporter Maurine Dallas Watkins and is built around actual crimes on which she reported; the book by Fred Ebb and Bob Fosse paints a tantalising tale of passion\, murder\, greed\, betrayal\, and redemption through the journey of two fiercely competitive women – aspiring jazz performer Roxie Hart and former vaudevillian (and double-murderess) Velma Kelly. John Kander and Fred Ebb were responsible for the score\, with each song modelled on a traditional vaudeville number or a vaudeville performer – a format that helped to make explicit the show’s comparison between justice\, showbiz\, and contemporary society. \nThis production is basically the 1996 Broadway revival\, which has been touring around the world more or less ever since. It is produced by Barry and Fran Weissler and choreographed by Tony Award winner Ann Reinking very much in the style of Bob Fosse. Direction is by another Tony Award winner\, Walter Bobbie. \nPerformances: \n12 September 7pm \n13 September 7pm \n14 September 1pm\n14 September 7pm \n15 September 1pm\n15 September 6pm \n16 September no performance\n17 September no performance\n18 September no performance \n19 September 7pm \n20 September 7pm \n21 September 1pm\n21 September 7pm \n22 September 1pm\n22 September 6pm \nThere are the door-open times; we’d guess the actual performances start an hour later. Ticket prices are higher for weekend shows

SUMMARY:Randa Maddah: Hanging Gardens
DESCRIPTION:The inaugural solo exhibition of the Syrian visual artist whose practice spans painting\, drawing\, sculpture\, video\, and installation. In this recent work\, Maddah repurposes the vocabulary of traditional miniature paintings to depict “dream-like scenes that negotiate themes of belonging\, resilience\, rootedness\, rebirth\, and renewal through natural elements … The work embodies the notion of a spirit shaped by harsh and absurd realities\, exploring themes of ecstasy\, liberation\, and reincarnation … Reflecting on transcendence and rebirth\, Maddah suggests that the body is merely a garment the soul sheds to wear anew\, offering hope that death is simply a gateway to a new life”. \nTo 1 November.

SUMMARY:Pascal Navarro: From the winter nights of Oslo to the golden lights of Dubai
DESCRIPTION:An exhibition of Navarro’s abstract paintings. The artist says he considers himself primarily a colourist\, and the sun of Dubai has led him towards a palette of golden colours\, with light shades\, infused with the energy and movement that characterise this ever-evolving city. The nature of the materials he uses are equally important; though; “he embraces the element of surprise in the evolution of his work\, whether by cultivating intentional or accidental mistakes\, experimenting with plastic effects\, or using various types of paints …” To 27 September.

DESCRIPTION:The longest running American musical in Broadway history – and “the most exciting musical of its generation” (The Times) – is coming to Yas for a decent run from 12-22 September 2024. \nFirst seen in 1975 and still an all-round stunner\, it is based on a 1926 play by one-time reporter Maurine Dallas Watkins and is built around actual crimes on which she reported; the book by Fred Ebb and Bob Fosse paints a tantalising tale of passion\, murder\, greed\, betrayal\, and redemption through the journey of two fiercely competitive women – aspiring jazz performer Roxie Hart and former vaudevillian (and double-murderess) Velma Kelly. John Kander and Fred Ebb were responsible for the score\, with each song modelled on a traditional vaudeville number or a vaudeville performer – a format that helped to make explicit the show’s comparison between justice\, showbiz\, and contemporary society. \nThis production is basically the 1996 Broadway revival\, which has been touring around the world more or less ever since. It is produced by Barry and Fran Weissler and choreographed by Tony Award winner Ann Reinking very much in the style of Bob Fosse. Direction is by another Tony Award winner\, Walter Bobbie. \nPerformances: \n12 September 7pm \n13 September 7pm \n14 September 1pm\n14 September 7pm \n15 September 1pm\n15 September 6pm \n16 September no performance\n17 September no performance\n18 September no performance \n19 September 7pm \n20 September 7pm \n21 September 1pm\n21 September 7pm \n22 September 1pm\n22 September 6pm \nThere are the door-open times; we’d guess the actual performances start an hour later.

DESCRIPTION:The first Project Space exhibition of the new season features a series of paintings\, sculptures\, and installations through which Susan Doe explores ideas of intersectionality\, rooted in her own bicultural upbringing. Says the gallery: “Reflecting on her Chinese American background\, the artist blends together disparate elements to create something unexpected. Through this process\, she plays with illusions of materiality\, making metal threads appear soft and weaving paper to mimic large solid sculptures.”

SUMMARY:Sébastien Labrunie: Brèche
DESCRIPTION:“An organic dive through matter\, light and memory\,” says the blurb. “This hybrid narrative sculpture blurs the line between macro and micro perspectives while connecting moments and places of the past.” Labrunie’s first large-scale immersive installation (first seen back in 2019)\, Brèche is a very personal audiovisual work that combines techniques from video games and VR with analogue and digital glitch art. The sound design by the Taiwanese sound artist Lu Yi is a vital element\, merging cinematic drones with ‘noise music’ “As the 3D collage sequences of Brèche expand\, the viewer is slowly drawn into the centre of the ‘breach’ where matter and memories dissolve into pulses of primal\, raw energy …” To 17 October.

SUMMARY:Alia Ahmad: Aspects [مظاهر]
DESCRIPTION:The first solo exhibition in the UAE for the Saudi Arabian artist presents a new body of paintings and watercolours that seeks to “peel back the layers in order to expose her personal vocabulary”. Her point of departure is the rapidly changing environment of her home city\, Riyadh\, where traditional ways of life exist alongside industrialisation and modernisation and where native plant life and cultural art forms thrive within one of the world’s fastest growing urban settings. Ahmad’s new works deconstruct the elements that make up her world; “with abstracted vegetal\, floral\, geometric shapes and motifs sometimes resembling stones\, flowers\, and others webs or micro-structures\, she creates her own lexicon of forms … on an intimate scale”. \nTo 22 October. \nAbove: Alia Ahmad\, ‘Aspect 1 [مظهر ١] ‘ (2024)

DESCRIPTION:Najib is a multidisciplinary artist from Iran whose practice includes painting\, drawing\, photography\, sculpture\, and art jewellery but primarily revolves around kinetic mechanisms and magnetic fields. His fascination with magnetism\, ergonomic placement elements\, and environmental sensing has led him to develop his own unique tools and instruments. \nThis exhibition deploys this in a meditation on human existence; it “traces our journey from the fluidity of circles to the rigidity of squares\, symbolising the transformations we undergo throughout life … It reflects the pursuit of perfection and salvation while celebrating the inherent beauty of imperfection …” Should be interesting. \nTo 9 November. \nAbove: Armin Najib\, obj KT 3 (2023)

SUMMARY:Sarah Almehairi and Bernhard Buhmann: The Errantries of Sarah Almehairi and Bernhard Buhmann
DESCRIPTION:An exhibition of recent paintings by the two artists that feature “unexpected protrusions and punctures … that are\, as the philosopher Édouard Glissant describes it\, ‘a poetics of errantry’\, both adventurous wanderings and rebellious misdirections. Referencing forms and motifs from within their past works\, the artists lure us in with the familiar\, only to journey to new discoveries and connections …” \nFor Almehairi\, this process entails a build-up of layers that may be linked but remain—as the series title states—‘off centred’. Buhmann’s latest works he describes as a “detox version\,” cast out into the world with certain elements removed. \nTo 9 November. \n

SUMMARY:Istoria: A Retrospective Reimagining Middle Eastern Feminism with Leila Nseir
DESCRIPTION:This retrospective for the late Syrian artist honours Leila Nseir’s legacy and celebrates her contributions to art and feminism. \nNseir’s art was rooted in humanist concerns and feminist thought\, addressing themes of conflict\, inequality\, and poverty; her career was impacted by gender persecution and patriarchal attitudes\, both within her close-knit and broader communities. “Nseir’s intentional reinterpretation of historical forms demonstrates a distinctive fusion of intimacy\, complexity\, and human suffering” says the gallery. \nShe started with sculpture but deemed it too masculine a medium. She then embarked on a long journey in painting and drawing\, but developed oil paint poisoning. Transitioning from oils to acrylics\, graphite\, pastels\, and eventually developing a unique monotype woodcut print technique\, she continued to explore and push artistic boundaries. \nNseir’s later pieces delve into the complexities of diaspora\, migration\, and the interplay between tradition and modernity. She depicted females as a mirror\, reflecting Syria and its embodiment of strength\, complexity\, and intricacy. \nTo 12 November. \nAbove: Leila Nseir\, Untitled (1986)

SUMMARY:I Kept The Night Vigil …
