SUMMARY:Alia Ahmad: Aspects [مظاهر]
DESCRIPTION:The first solo exhibition in the UAE for the Saudi Arabian artist presents a new body of paintings and watercolours that seeks to “peel back the layers in order to expose her personal vocabulary”. Her point of departure is the rapidly changing environment of her home city\, Riyadh\, where traditional ways of life exist alongside industrialisation and modernisation and where native plant life and cultural art forms thrive within one of the world’s fastest growing urban settings. Ahmad’s new works deconstruct the elements that make up her world; “with abstracted vegetal\, floral\, geometric shapes and motifs sometimes resembling stones\, flowers\, and others webs or micro-structures\, she creates her own lexicon of forms … on an intimate scale”. \nTo 22 October. \nRight: Alia Ahmad\, ‘Aspect 1 [مظهر ١] ‘ (2024)

SUMMARY:Armin Najib: -continuum
DESCRIPTION:Najib is a multidisciplinary artist from Iran whose practice includes painting\, drawing\, photography\, sculpture\, and art jewellery but primarily revolves around kinetic mechanisms and magnetic fields. His fascination with magnetism\, ergonomic placement elements\, and environmental sensing has led him to develop his own unique tools and instruments. \nThis exhibition deploys this in a meditation on human existence; it “traces our journey from the fluidity of circles to the rigidity of squares\, symbolising the transformations we undergo throughout life … It reflects the pursuit of perfection and salvation while celebrating the inherent beauty of imperfection …” Should be interesting. \nTo 9 November. \nRight: Armin Najib\, obj KT 3 (2023)

SUMMARY:Sarah Almehairi and Bernhard Buhmann: The Errantries of Sarah Almehairi and Bernhard Buhmann
DESCRIPTION:An exhibition of recent paintings by the two artists that feature “unexpected protrusions and punctures … that are\, as the philosopher Édouard Glissant describes it\, ‘a poetics of errantry’\, both adventurous wanderings and rebellious misdirections. Referencing forms and motifs from within their past works\, the artists lure us in with the familiar\, only to journey to new discoveries and connections …” \nFor Almehairi\, this process entails a build-up of layers that may be linked but remain—as the series title states—‘off centred’. Buhmann’s latest works he describes as a “detox version\,” cast out into the world with certain elements removed. \nTo 9 November. \n

SUMMARY:Istoria: A Retrospective Reimagining Middle Eastern Feminism with Leila Nseir
DESCRIPTION:This retrospective for the late Syrian artist honours Leila Nseir’s legacy and celebrates her contributions to art and feminism. \nNseir’s art was rooted in humanist concerns and feminist thought\, addressing themes of conflict\, inequality\, and poverty; her career was impacted by gender persecution and patriarchal attitudes\, both within her close-knit and broader communities. “Nseir’s intentional reinterpretation of historical forms demonstrates a distinctive fusion of intimacy\, complexity\, and human suffering” says the gallery. \nShe started with sculpture but deemed it too masculine a medium. She then embarked on a long journey in painting and drawing\, but developed oil paint poisoning. Transitioning from oils to acrylics\, graphite\, pastels\, and eventually developing a unique monotype woodcut print technique\, she continued to explore and push artistic boundaries. \nNseir’s later pieces delve into the complexities of diaspora\, migration\, and the interplay between tradition and modernity. She depicted females as a mirror\, reflecting Syria and its embodiment of strength\, complexity\, and intricacy. \nTo 12 November. \nRight: Leila Nseir\, Untitled (1986)

SUMMARY:I Kept The Night Vigil …
DESCRIPTION:Subtitled ‘Exploring Women’s Voices Across and Beyond the Middle East’\, this exhibition – curated by Behrang Samadzadegan – is inspired by the evocative poetry of al-Khansa\, who eloquently conveyed the nuances of grief\, strength\, and transformation.

Each piece is a testament to women’s individual and collective experiences in the Middle East\, merging personal narratives with broader socio-political commentary. \nThe artists: \n\nAzza Al Qubaisi\, Zeinab Alhashemi\, Parinaz Eleish\, Ana D’Castro\, Shirin Neshat\, Melis Buyruk\, Naeemeh Kazemi\, Katya Traboulsi\, Maxi Cohen\, Maryam Lamei\, Farideh Lashai\, Nikki Zarrabi\, Areen Hassan\, Soraya Sharghi\, Stephany Sanossian\, Pariyoush Ganji\, Shideh Fatemi\, Shan Castellino\, Azita Panahpour\, Shiva Ahmadi \nTo 4 November. \nRight: Soraya Sharghi\, The Thinker (2023-24)

SUMMARY:Sumayyah Samaha: Lines and Forms
DESCRIPTION:A range of works from the Lebanese-born NYC-based artist that are rooted in spontaneity and the intuitive interplay between forms and lines. The exhibition continues an exploration of form\, line\, and colour in a series that began in 2014 and continues to evolve with each new creation. \nSays the gallery: “Each piece in the series begins with the artist laying down forms on a blank canvas\, allowing one form to naturally lead to another\, creating a visual conversation. These forms\, each with its own narrative\, are connected by lines that serve as guiding threads\, helping the viewer navigate the complex stories that unfold across the canvas. \nTo 4 November. \nAbove: Sumayyah Samaha\, Untitled Construction (2024)

SUMMARY:Maria Jose Benvenuto: Nature’s Pulse
DESCRIPTION:A series of vibrant abstracts inspired by the landscape of North Head National Park in Manly\, Australia\, the area where Benvenuto works. The series is guided by intuition and emerges directly from the subconscious\, drawing on the deep reservoirs of memory; the artist captures the dynamic energy of contrasting colours\, interweaving the fundamental elements of colour\, form\, and composition to evoke the essence of landscapes. \nBenvenuto says: “Through this series\, I aim to convey the unique vibrancy and freedom of the landscapes that inspire me\, both in Australia and beyond. In Dubai\, a city that embodies innovation and creativity\, I hope my work will resonate with viewers and inspire a shared appreciation for the universal beauty of our world’s diverse landscapes.” \nTo 4 November. \nAbove: Maria Jose Benvenuto\, Oceanic vibrations (2024)

SUMMARY:Bound: Textiles Between Loss and Repair
DESCRIPTION:The last in a series of exhibitions investigating contemporary approaches to fibre art curated by Murtaza Vali\, this group show builds on notions of nurture and care long associated with cloth – which envelopes our bodies from our first breath to our last. Largely abstract\, these works resemble both shrouds and bandages\, blurring distinctions between our experience of loss or injury and our capacity for recovery. \nThe artists: Dana Awartani\, Jumana Manna\, Hana Miletić\, Dala Nasser Khalil Rabah \nTo 2 November.

SUMMARY:Giselle
DESCRIPTION:The ultimate tragic/romantic ballet – beautiful young peasant girl fall in loves with a disguised nobleman but goes mad and dies of heartbreak when his true identity is revealed by a rival; she then becomes a ghost\, one of a vengeful sisterhood of unmarried women who died after being betrayed by their lovers and take revenge in the night by dancing men to death by exhaustion. Powerful stuff. \nThe Polish National Ballet and Orchestra\, conducted by Patrick Fournillier\, bring the full classic experience to Dubai Opera\, Maina Gielgud has recreated the original 1841 choreography by Jean Coralli and Jules Perrot. \nThere are performance at 8pm on 18\, 19 and 20 September\, and at 2pm and 7pm on 21 September. Prices are high\, but this is a chance to see the standard in romantic ballets (and if we’re lucky enough to get Chinara Alizade dancing Giselle\, that will be a real bonus …)

SUMMARY:Wednesday Night Impro: Maestro
DESCRIPTION:The Courtyard’s regular 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
