SUMMARY:Al Hosn Festival

There are performances\, souks\, F&B\, arts and crafts\, family workshops\, camels\, poetry\, film\, gaming\, fashion\, and more … \nThe full programme is here.

SUMMARY:CLOSING TODAY Zé Tepedino: Marina
DESCRIPTION:The first solo exhibition in the UAE by Brazilian carioca artist Zé Tepedino is curated by Amanda Abi Khalil and also features a work by Hassan Sharif. \nSays the gallery: “Marina is not a place but a tide\, a rhythm carried in folds\, fibres\, and fragments”. Zé Tepedino presents works that reflect on the layers (both physical and emotional) that shape our world. He collects the leftovers of Rio’s streets and beaches for his pieces – faded towels\, fabric from beach chairs and umbrellas\, crumpled plastic bags\, styrofoam beer coolers\, discarded Havaianas. \n“Tepedino works with urban fabrics (literally)\, speaks to the resilience of materials\, and the beauty found in the traces we leave behind.” It’s a practice that definitely echoes Hassan Sharif’s way of elevating the mundane into “art”. His Towel 4 (2013)\, included in this exhibition\, uses towels to create a bold\, gestural sculpture\, embodying the energy of repetition and transformation.

SUMMARY:Public Art Abu Dhabi Biennial: Bik Van der Pol’s The poem that jumps the fence
DESCRIPTION:Artist duo Bik Van der Pol (Liesbeth Bik and Jos Van der Pol) engage in collaborative projects on how art constructs public spaces for speculative thought and collective creativity. The poem that jumps the fence features weekly performances on Abu Dhabi Beach and workshops connecting words and sand as real and symbolic material that binds our world; every Sunday afternoon\, a performer writes a poem in the sand\, only for it to fade away. During workshops in collaboration with local poets and writers\, participants generate text for the performances. \n  \n

SUMMARY:The Ice Hole – A Cardboard Comedy
DESCRIPTION:A second performance for Complices Théâtre’s production of this fun comedy. It’s mad as trumpets\, with echoes of Monty Python\, Laurel and Hardy\, and the Mighty Boosh. An imposing Shakespearian actor tells incredible stories of a man journeying through Europe under the curse of a mermaid he’d absent-mindedly caught in a fjord. The actor is accompanied by a put-upon flunky (maybe a stage manager?) who strives with the help of hastily-scribbled cardboard signs and boxes to help us understand the meaning of this journey … \nNote that as well as the ticket price\, you’ll need access to Alserkal Avenue’s Quoz Arts Fest to get at the Junction. So add an extra AED 63 to the cost of the outing. It’s still worth it. \n
