Hot Spots

The second in The Gallery Collective, a series of sort-of gallery takeovers whereby Sotheby’s Dubai is giving its DIFC exhibition space over to a series of local galleries in a two-year run starting in November. Every six to eight weeks, a partner gallery will curate a show in the space; this time it’s Tabari Artspace and Third Line. Showcasing a range of artists from across the Middle East and North Africa, the title draws inspiration from the language and codes of advertising, particularly the vocabulary used in travel marketing; “by adopting this commercial vernacular, the exhibition brings forward deeper themes of human movement, cultural attachment, and globalisation”. To 10 March.
