SUMMARY:CLOSING TODAY Mr Brainwash
DESCRIPTION:A solo show for the French-born LA-based street artist who started filming graffiti art and subsequently became an artist in his own right after an off-hand suggestion from Banksy. As it happens\, many of the 10 works on show here are reworkings of Banksy originals (there is a persistant rumour that Mr Brainwash was/is Banksy’s alter ego\, or possible vice versa: but Mr Brainwash’s artistic evolution was mapped in Banksy’s 2010 documentary Exit Through The Gift Shop\, and Banksy has confirmed that Mr Brainwash is indeed real and a friend). Mr Brainswash has also deployed other iconic images in his paintings\, notably from Warhol and Haring. The resulting blend of Pop Art and Street Art he describes as his own form of “graffiti hybrid”.

SUMMARY:Mohamed Yousif and Maggie Otieno: Solace in Soil
DESCRIPTION:A duo exhibition for Emirati artist Mohamed Yousif and Kenyan sculptor Maggie Otieno that “celebrates the grounded connections between the practices of the two artists and the cross-cultural exchange between the Middle East and Africa”. Or as curator Shamma Al Mheiri puts it\, “Maggie Otieno and Dr Mohamed Yousif share leitmotifs of expressing generational sentiments and experiences through tangible expressions. Perhaps distinct in visual identities\, Otieno and Dr Yousif manifest connections deeper than the aesthetic portrayals in a state of continual solace …” The gallery is equally effusive: “This exhibition fosters a symbiotic exchange between the artists and their artistic practices\, intimately linked to their earthy foundations\, enabling their work to converse and showcase the interconnectedness between the regions”. \nMohamed Yousif is regarded as a pioneer of UAE sculpture and is one of the founders of the Emirates Fine Art Society. His 3D work is typically carefully crafted and delicate wooden sculptures\, many woven out of palm tree fronds handpicked in the UAE desert. He has featured in several exhibitions\, including The National Pavilion of the UAE at the 2015 and 2017 Venice Biennales. \nMaggie Otieno characteristically works with long abstract figures comprised of distressed railway sleepers\, originally from India and used to lay the ‘iron snake’ railway line in Kenya at the end of the 19th century – carrying within them stories of travellers\, labourers and communities. “Through her deft manipulation of form and texture\, she endeavours to imbue her sculptures with a sense of temporal continuity\, affording them a palpable resonance with the viewer’s own lived experiences”. \nTo 6 October. \nRight: Dr Mohamed Yousif\, Camel Movement Series (2005)

SUMMARY:Ballet Hispánico
DESCRIPTION:An Arab World Premiere for Ballet Hispánico\, the largest Hispanic cultural organisation in the States. The company (and subsequently its associated School of Dance and Community Arts Partnerships) was founded in 1970 to challenging stereotypes and demonstrate the joy and celebration to be found in Latindad and Hispanic diasporas; the company tours widely – it has performed for more than 2.5 million people in three continents – and champions choreographers and dancers of all ages from the Hispanic community. “Performances by the Ballet Hispánico dancers are always vibrant and richly textured\,” said The New York Times recently; we don’t know which show they’re doing in Aby Dhabi\, but it may be the En Familia programme that a magpie fan recently saw in New York. This tour through Latin American culture and traditions featured excerpts of classics from the Company’s repertory\, including a restaging of Talley Beatty’s electrifying Recuerdo de Campo Amor. Recommended\, especially at prices starting as low as AED 100. \nThere’s a second and final performance on 1 June.

SUMMARY:Hans Zimmer Live
DESCRIPTION:Hans Zimmer is probably best known for some of the most listened-to soundtracks in the history of cinema – The Lion King\, Gladiator\, Pirates of the Caribbean\, The Dark Knight\, Dune – but his live show is also pretty special. It features new arrangements from the Oscar-winning composer’s stellar back catalogue\, recreated on stage by Zimmer himself (he’s an excellent keyboardist and plays a mean guitar) with a large orchestra and dancers (45 of them in total). Recommended. \nThere’s a second show on 1 June.
