SUMMARY:Zhou Song: Supernatural·Algorithm
DESCRIPTION:Zhou Song’s solo show echoes traditional Chinese landscape painting but employs symbolic imagery to explore relationships between nature\, technology\, and faith. The ‘anthropomorphic tree’ is central\, serving as a metaphor for nature’s alienation by technology – “these trees retain natural forms while merging with human features\, hinting at a future possibility: as algorithms silently infiltrate every corner of nature\, can it preserve its primal purity? Or will it inevitably fuse with human civilisation\, becoming an entirely new entity?” Song’s ‘Pencil trees’\, by contrast\, symbolise a primordial state. Their delicate lines and soft hues evoke tranquillity and harmony; yet pencils are also tools that embody human wisdom and carry the memory of civilisation. ‘Twisted candles’\, another key element\, suggest light\, hope\, and faith – but they are not just metaphors for religion and belief but profound meditations on hope and rebirth. They remind us that faith and hope remain even under technological upheaval. It’s a technologically transformed natural world that witnesses the collision of nature and technology and contemplates the future of humanity and faith … To 17 June.

SUMMARY:LAST CHANCE Flower Shop
DESCRIPTION:A group show – with Maria Andrievskaya\, Almendra Bertoni\, Katie Hector\, Jen Hitchings\, and John Denniston II– that invites us to think of colour not just as a visual element but as a language of its own. “Colour is what makes the world visible\, yet its perception is deeply personal. Does a vibrant burst of red or the delicate fade of blue appear the same to everyone? Or does each of us experience a slightly different reality?” The five artists “push the boundaries of how we see and feel colour”; the show’s title “was born from a fleeting yet vivid moment—passing by a florist and being struck by the explosion of hues\, an everyday spectacle that suddenly revealed itself as something more …”

SUMMARY:LAST CHANCE Laura Garcia Karras: Eidolon
DESCRIPTION:A solo exhibition by that French artist that explores “the spectral space between presence and absence\, giving form to what lingers just beyond perception” (the ancient Greek word ‘eidolon’ means phantom\, double\, or apparition). \nKarras’s works appear as delicate traces of something once vivid\, now fading\, like the echo of a body or the glimmer of a vanishing dream; the exhibition becomes a meditation on memory\, loss\, and the persistence of desire. As Karras writes: “We live surrounded by ghosts. Bodies fade\, but leave imprints. Desire wanes\, yet its echo remains. Artifice dazzles\, but beneath its glow\, matter disintegrates”.

SUMMARY:LAST CHANCE Adrian Pepe: A Shroud is a Cloth 
DESCRIPTION:Adrian Pepe’s poetic meditation on fragmentation and renewal gets an extended run at NIKA Project Space. It uses a monumental 200m2 woollen textile piece that previously wrapped a building damaged in the 2020 Beirut Port explosion to highlight the relationship between materials\, cultural landscapes\, and ecological intimacy\, “challenging the rigid demarcations between art\, labor\, nature\, and performance through a textile medium” as the gallery has it. \nThe works in this show\, all derived from a single source\, range in scale from intimate to monumental. Wool – cleansed\, processed\, manipulated\, and recontextualised – becomes a vessel for gestures\, images\, and rituals. Debris extracted from it – dirt\, seeds\, remnants of vegetable matter – captures the landscape within the material. Stitching\, felting\, and acts of assembly transform these materials into new compositions\, reflecting on material processes\, ecological intimacy\, and the fragility of being. “Wool has this capacity to hold time – it is resilient yet malleable\, intimate yet expansive\,” says Pepe. “In this exhibition\, I am exploring how materials are never neutral; they shape\, and are shaped by care\, labor\, and the environments they inhabit.”

SUMMARY:La Lezione di Teatro | The Acting Class
DESCRIPTION:This 45-minute play — first seen at the NYUAD Arts Center last autumn – is a joyful lesson in theatre and a tribute to the theatrical talent of Italians for connecting to anyone\, transcending language barriers. Set partly in English and partly in Italian (and without subtitles)\, the show ironically demolishes preconceived notions of the difficulty of theatre language and highlights how communication problems can be solved with theatrical bodywork \nThe plot is simple enough\, set in the tradition of the comedy of errors: an Italian actress (Francesca Bizzarri\, who also developed the piece) receives a student (played by Claudio Grilli) for a private drama lesson in her apartment; he is eager to learn the tricks of the trade\, she is thrilled at the idea of making him fall in love with Italian theatre. She sits him down and searches through her library\, preparing the ideal acting class for him – from Plautus to Pirandello via Dario Fo. The lesson falters on language problems\, and communication breaks down until the universal language of commedia dell’arte comes to the rescue …

SUMMARY:Layered Medium: We Are in Open Circuits
DESCRIPTION:Now this should be one of the highlights of the UAE’s exhibition year\, not just because of the content – it’s subtitled explicitly ‘Contemporary Art from Korea\, 1960s to Today’\, and South Korea is home to some of the most interesting\, groundbreaking work of the last few decades years; and the exhibition design reflects that. \nThe exhibition is a selection of works from the Seoul Museum of Art\, curated by SeMA’s Kyung-Hwan Yeo and Maya El Khalil for the Abu Dhabi Festival\, and it aims to cover the “legacy of material and conceptual combination\, exchange\, hybridity\, and innovation” in the radical Korean contemporary art scene. The title echoes Nam June Paik’s vision of ‘open circuits’\, where connection and meaning flow beyond boundaries; so the exhibition immerses the viewer in “the fluid intersections of consciousness\, technology\, and art”\, specifically showing “how artists work with varied technologies to intervene in\, interpret and mediate different scales of experience\, from the individual\, the archival and the collective\, to the abstract and yet to become …” \nIt opens with a curatorial discussion (5-6pm) featuring Kyung-Hwan Yeo and Maya El Khalil with artists Byungjun Kwon and Choi Goen; that’s followed at 6.15pm with conversation between the co-curators and exhibition designers Andrea Trimarchi and Simone Farresin from FormaFantasma. \nTo 30 June. \nAbove: Byungjun Kwon\, Dancing Ladders (2022) \n

SUMMARY:Wednesday Night Impro: Maestro
DESCRIPTION:The Courtyard’s most peopular 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:A Life on Tape / Bilder (m)einer Mutter: dir Melanie Lischker (1921)
DESCRIPTION:Melanie Lischker’s documentary reconstructs the life of her mother (who she barely remembers) from over 100 hours of Super 8 and video footage that was meticulously recorded over the decades\, mostly by her father. The result is the poignant story of a young woman who was never able to fully accept her role as a mother as she tried to free herself from the old thought patterns of her rather authoritarian parents in the 1970s. Her ongoing struggle between a desire for freedom and the imperatives of a well-ordered family life have affected the childhood of the director\, her daughter … Both personally and politically\, the film travels through the decades and shows a woman in conflict with the patriarchal structures of her day. \nThis film screens in the NAAS: She Reel series\, a collaboration between several cultural institutions in the UAEwhich has the subtitle ‘Women in Society: Stories That Inspire\, Change That Empowers’. The films in the programme are dedicated to showcasing women’s stories and raising awareness about their roles in our lives.

SUMMARY:La Cité de la peur / Fear City: dir Alain Berberian (1993)
DESCRIPTION:Odile Deray\, a small time public relations executive\, has her work cut out for her – getting some exposure for a pretty terrible small-budget horror movie called Red is Dead. Then she gets a break: the projectionist is murdered\, just as in the film … and more follow\, identical to those in Red is Dead\, and taking place at the Cannes Festival ! Add in a corrupt politician\, a bodyguard for the lead actor who is more interested in girls than his client\, a police superintendent who can’t handle the press … Full of insider references\, this zany satire about the world of cinema and the Festival de Cannes in particular should make for a fun evening. In French\, with English subtitles; and AF members get in free\, while the rest of us pay AED 35. \n

SUMMARY:Open Culture Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Inspired in part by the Open GLAM (Galleries\, Libraries\, Archives\, Museums) movement – which promotes open access\, reuse\, and sharing of cultural collections in digital spaces – the Open Culture project seeks a local context for such ideas; organiser and host Engage101 has been actively exploring the potential of participatory practices and infrastructures in the UAE\, and says the project’s launch marks the beginning of a long-term initiative aimed at encouraging collaborative thinking and reflection on the present and future of the region’s cultural commons. \nThis inaugural meeting takes the form of an interactive workshop session with participants invited to contribute personal and professional insights on topics such as … \n> What happens when we begin to view art and culture as a public good?\n> How does this idea extend into digital realms?\n> Does greater access lead to the emancipation of knowledge?\n> What does “digital commons” really mean – and are there more fitting alternatives?\n> How might the UAE’s cultural ecosystem benefit from embracing digital commons?\n> What value\, challenges\, or possibilities arise when we begin to share our individual data\, research\, image-making\, and projects? \nThat’s a lot of meaty\, interesting questions to consider. The event is organised by Aliaa Shaaban\, who researches cultural heritage policy\, participatory practices\, and the role of emerging technologies and innovation within cultural institutions; and Engage101\, a platform that exhibits and supports independent Gulf-based artists and also produces original academic research on the arts in the region.

SUMMARY:Youth Takeover 2025
DESCRIPTION:The Jameel’s annual Youth Takeover is the manifestation of the Assembly\, an experimental learning programme designed to foster creative leaders aged 18 to 24 in the UAE\, “inviting the creation and curation of projects reflective of their generation’s areas of interest”. The Assembly 2024-2025 cohort comprises multimedia graphic designer Abrar Kebaili\, visual artist and designer Ayesha Fernandes\, multimedia designer and writer Desirée Barreto\, literary artist Ioanna Orphanide\, poet Jared Maxilom\, researcher and writer Manal Nadeem\, architect and researcher Omar Darwish\, exhibition designer Sanjushrree Subash\, and poet Syed Haider. \nThis year’s theme for the Youth Takeover – a physical takeover of spaces on the Jameel’s ground floor – is titled ‘Spoon Spade Shovel’. It covers experiments in how the Assembly members dig\, sift and stir through the world\, “offering a network of creative experiences as tools for excavation\, reflection and play … The exhibition presents a range of interdisciplinary works that use tools – literal and metaphorical – to question how we make and remake meaning”. These works sit uneasily beside one another\, but their differences are invitations rather than obstacles  “whether you sift or stir\, extract or excavate\, your experience will be shaped by the tool you reach for: its size\, scale\, heft and intent. You are invited to inhabit this instability and co-compose the meanings that emerge … What you take from this exhibition depends on what you bring to it”. \nThe artists are: \nAyesha Fernandes with Svabhu Kohli\nDesirée Barreto with Angie Pais and Mouza Al Hamrani\nIoanna Orphanide with Danae Orphanide and Ilya Akimov\nJared Maxilom with Halo-Halo Experiment\, Vinyl Souk and memoryall\nManal Nadeem with Khaled Esguerra and Jed Bacason\nOmar Darwish with Fatma Al Ali and Maitha Ali\nSanjushrree Subash with Danutė Vaitekūnaitė and Farheen Fatima\nSyed Haider with Hessa Lootah\, Souldier and Aqib Anwar \nBesides the commissioned artworks\, the Youth Takeover 2025 features a public programme.
