SUMMARY:CLOSING TODAY Jamal Bassiouni: The World of Mirrors
DESCRIPTION:A solo exhibition for the noted Egyptian artist’s vivid and poignant paintings exploring ancient Egyptian beliefs regarding enlightenment and the afterlife. As the artist puts it: “In The world of Mirrors we say what is above is what is below\, a soul to heaven and a body to earth. A journey starts as the sun sets inside of us and we are to receive the resurrection while we live. A process of pain and suffering to happiness and pleasure. Never forget that the words are\nnot the reality\, only reality is the reality; pictures\, symbols\, lines that cut through time\, without a beginning and without an end”. \n

SUMMARY:CLOSING TODAY Mohammed Kazem and Vikram Divecha: Rest
DESCRIPTION:Two of the most distinctive Dubai-based artists with works that explore the intricate relationship between labour\, rest\, and the ever-evolving urban landscape of the UAE. “Considering the dynamics of human existence\, alternating between cycles of depletion and restoration\, the exhibition highlights the vital role of rest in the perpetual movement of cities\,” says the gallery. “Rest challenges societal norms that discourage rest\, aiming to disrupt the prevailing narrative and explore possibilities on the other side of exhaustion …”

SUMMARY:CLOSING TODAY Faisal Samra: Immortal Moment II – Coping with the Shock
DESCRIPTION:A solo exhibition with the second body of work from Faisal Samra’s Immortal Moment project\, artworks created through the accumulation of instances that push the viewer to question the opportunities of a single moment. In the first chapter of this project\, Faisal describes the technique as an expression of emotions; for the current show he defines the outcome as a shock; the exhibition will reveal the process of Coping with the Shock. \n“The dialogue between the abstract and figurative\, conceptually or formalistically\, is essential to Faisal’s work. Time\, being one of the most abstract ideas becomes figurative when Faisal visually notes down specific points in time through the use of charcoal and paint. The result is abstract\, but the final creation becomes figurative through several interventions\, which represent a culmination of temporal instances.” \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:The Climb: Imah Dumagay’s Comedy Concert Feat. Amr Elassal
DESCRIPTION:Dubai’s very own Filipino funnywoman takes to the stage for a Dubai Comedy Festival gig that also features a performance by Amr Elassal (who happens to be her husband). Dumagay’s sharp wit and relatable humour are at their best when she’s talking about her journey from a non-fancy background to navigating a higher-class lifestyle. “A heartwarming and entertaining show that blends humour\, cultural diversity\, and the joy of finding laughter in life’s many ascents\,” says the blurb. It’s good to see her getting a headline slot in a big room\, too.

SUMMARY:Frank Skinner: 30 Years of Dirt
DESCRIPTION:Frank Skinner\, the seasoned English comedian\, actor\, presenter\, and writer\, is set to grace the stage at Dubai Opera Main Hall on Monday\, April 15th\, for a truly not-to-be-missed show. With a career that spans nearly four decades on the comedy circuit\, he’s become a maestro of observational humour and approaches the status of National Treasure. He’s also lost none of his penchant for funny smut\, and en route to the Dubai Comedy Festival this touring show has already wowed the British critics: “immaculately constructed … a supernatural sureness of touch … exquisitely vivid in some of his turns of phrase … a masterclass in crowd work\, with Skinner getting spontaneous laughs off every interaction … he can spool out a yarn every bit as entertainingly as prime-era Billy Connolly”. One not to miss.
