SUMMARY:Antonio Dias: The Search for an Open Enigma
DESCRIPTION:Work by Antonio Dias (1944–2018)\, an artist who relentlessly transgressed material and conceptual boundaries\, tackling complex sociopolitical issues across diverse mediums. Drawing upon Hélio Oiticica’s 1969 analysis of Dias’ practice\, the title embraces the versatile\, ever-changing and subversive nature of his artistic oeuvre; the exhibition pays homage to Dias’ category-defying tendencies through a broad selection of works that encompass his artistic trajectory from its beginnings in the 1960s until the early 2000s. \nThe exhibition is curated by Hoor Al Qasimi\, Director of Sharjah Art Foundation\, with Reem Sawan\, Curatorial Assistant at the Foundation. \nTo 8 December. \nAbove: \nAntonio Dias\, Heart to Crush (1966)

SUMMARY:Vantage Point Sharjah (VPS 12)
DESCRIPTION:Sharjah Art Foundation’s annual photography exhibition returns for its 12 edition. Under the theme ‘If I Were Another’ (derived from a Mahmoud Darwish poem)\, this year’s exhibition addresses intimate individual experiences and the weight of collective memory\, proposing empathy as the core lens through which we perceive others who may hold different identities\, histories and sensibilities. \nFrom the artists who responded to this thematic prompt through an international open call\, four were selected for the exhibition; all the works featured works reflect on personal experiences\, history and collective memory. Sara Kontar documents her personal experiences of exile to investigate fragments of forgotten memories and explore themes of displacement. Thasil Suhara Backer examines ecology and biopolitics through the dual lens of theatre and visual art. PhotojournalistArum Dayu explores contemporary Javanese culture and society with a particular focus on feminism and motherhood. Anthropologist Mosfiqur Rahman Johan uses photography to document the hardships of marginalised communities struggling with displacement. \nBringing together diverse voices and lived experiences\, the exhibition embodies the spirit of experimentation in contemporary photography and provides a dynamic platform for a spectrum of approaches\, from documentary to experimental\, in both analogue and digital forms. \nTo 8 December. \nRight: Thasil Suhara Baker\, Illuminating Shores (2019–2020). Below: Mosfiqur Rohan\, Memories of Underdevelopment (2017–2023)\n \nChildrens are playing in the vicinity where the coal power plant has been erected\,december 9\,2023.

SUMMARY:William Kentridge: A Shadow of a Shadow
DESCRIPTION:Kentridge’s first major solo exhibition in the region features a survey of 17 performances by the artist\, spanning a period from the late 1980s to the present and showcasing a wide range of his work. They include his interpretations of King Ubu from Ubu Roi and Mozart’s The Magic Flute alongside Kentridge’s original production The Head and the Load (2018) about Africa and Africans during World War I. On display will be a variety of objects and artworks produced for the development and presentation of Kentridge’s performance projects\, including drawings\, stage backdrops\, animations\, puppets\, props\, costumes and installations inspired by theatrical illusions. \nWhile nodding to Kentridge’s predilection for shadow plays and puppet theatre\, A Shadow of a Shadow also pays homage to his incisive political rebuke of authoritarianism through absurdist satire and theatricality. Together\, the works selected for this exhibition speak to the artist’s ongoing critique of social constructs\, power structures and colonialism. \nThis exhibition is curated by Hoor Al Qasimi\, Director of Sharjah Art Foundation\, and Tarek Abou El Fetouh\, Senior Curator and Director of the Performance Department\, with May Alqaydi\, Assistant Curator\, and Khalid Mohammed\, Curatorial Assistant\, Sharjah Art Foundation. \nTo 8 December. \nRight: William Kentridge\, Cat / Coffee Pot IV (2019)
