SUMMARY:CLOSING TODAY Arda Aslanian: Obscured / Untold Stories
DESCRIPTION:A solo exhibition for the self-taught Armenian-Jordanian artist who uses her meticulously crafted works to explore the intricacies between visibility and concealment\, using drapery as a metaphor for the complexities of human experience. This series of works delves into the delicate boundaries that define our personal narratives that are often left untold. The gallery comments that “Aslanian’s use of a single-colour gradation technique increases the viewer’s confusion regarding the symbolism of the scene and imposes silence on us. Perhaps this is what she seeks: silence in a world full of noise.”

SUMMARY:CLOSING TODAY Negin Fallah\, Mai Al Remeithi\, Annie Kurkdjian: Contours of Belonging
DESCRIPTION:A group show for three female artists whose backgrounds\, experiences\, and practices converge in a shared exploration of cultural heritage\, personal memory\, and emotional landscapes. Negin Fallah examines the intersection of tradition and transformation\, where echoes of Iranian illuminated manuscripts and miniatures collide with contemporary narratives of human psychology\, mythology\, and naturalistic philosophy. Mai Al Remeithi’s minimalist compositions channel the architectural metamorphosis of the UAE\, echoing the nation’s balance of heritage and modernity. And Annie Kurkdjian‘s portraits\, often grotesque and haunting\, provide a window into the human psyche scarred by war and displacement.

SUMMARY:Singin’ in the Rain
DESCRIPTION:The highly successful stage adaptation of the iconic MGM film about silent film actors who face their share of struggles over the gradual transition to talkies. The plot isn’t what matters\, of course; it’s the songs – classics like Good Morning\, Make ’em Laugh\, Moses Supposes\, and of course Singin’ in the Rain – and the dancing (there’s no Gene Kelly\, but the choreography by Andrew Wright is just great). There will also be live rain showers on stage every night … \nThis touring show is directed by Jonathan Church\, premiered at the Chichester Festival Theatre (where the front rows were given waterproof macs to ward off the splashes) before a West End run\, and has suitably opulent set designs by Simon Higlett that make the most of the all-essential lamppost. The result is a celebration of Hollywood’s golden era with romance\, humour and wall-to-wall entertainment. \nThere are further shows to 14 December: \n\n\n4 Dec 8pm\n5 Dec 8pm\n6 Dec 8pm\n7 Dec 2pm\n7 Dec 7pm\n8 Dec 2pm\n8 Dec 7pm\n9 Dec no show\n10 Dec 8pm\n11 Dec 8pm\n12 Dec 8pm\n13 Dec 8pm\n14 Dec 2pm\n14 Dec 8pm

SUMMARY:Bouchra Khalili: The Tempest Society
DESCRIPTION:Last chance to see Bouchra Khalili’s 2017 video work\, part of a long series devoted to the legacy of Al Assifa (‘The Tempest’ in Arabic) – a theatre group comprising North African immigrant workers and French students that was active in Paris from 1973 to 1978. \nPremiered at Documenta 14 in Athens\, The Tempest Society is described by the artist as a hypothesis rather than a documentary or fiction; three people from different backgrounds form a group in Athens to examine the current state of Greece\, Europe\, and the Mediterranean via the theatre stag. They name themselves The Tempest Society in homage to Al Assifa. \nThe work is part of Khalili’s exhibition Between Circles and Constellations at Sharjah Art Foundation\, a show based on his enquiry into the hidden histories of solidarities among transnational and stateless communities.

SUMMARY:The Streets
DESCRIPTION:The era-defining British rap artist Mike Skinner makes his Dubai debut with his band (also called The Streets). He’s been quiet for a while\, mostly DJing and working on a film that he largely wrote and directed himself (The Darker the Shadow the Brighter the Light\, released in 2023 with an album of the same name). But now it looks like he’s getting back to what he does best: there may be some of the hits from Original Pirate Material and A Grand Don’t Come for Free from the early 2000s\, but he’s been talking about moving on – “I know people like Liam [Gallagher] and Dizzee [Rascal] have done the anniversary thing\, but I don’t really need the money and I think for your own sanity you have to at least pretend that you’re doing things that are important right now …” – and we’re expecting new material. The Darker the Shadow album is full of smooth grooves and wryly observed lyrical passages\, inventive as ever and based around his signature storytelling; his latest\, released in June\, is a compilation for fabric titled fabric presents The Streets (“I’ve spent many nights wasted but not wasted any nights in fabric over the years”) that includes four new tracks credited to The Streets and another three as Mike Skinner.
