Talal Al Najjar, Ziad Al Najjar: Symbiotic Hyperreal

1 June 2023

Free

This exhibition marks the first duo show for Emirati brothers Talal Al Najjar and Ziad Al Najjar. They each maintain a distinct individual artistic practice, but developed in close proximity to one another; and both draw upon their relationship to their surroundings, particularly Dubai, where they grew up.

Viewed together, the works of Talal and Ziad create a quality of simulation, unrealness, or hyperreality (the inability to distinguish from a simulation of reality). From the moment that the viewer enters the space, they are watching, but there is also a sense of being watched.

To 14 June.

This exhibition is curated by Tala Nassar; it marks Nassar’s final project at The NYUAD Art Gallery, before departing to pursue graduate study at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago.
