SUMMARY:CLOSING TODAY Afra Al Dhaheri: Restless Circle
DESCRIPTION:A selection of works by Afra Al Dhaheri that explore the structural effects of tension\, repetition and time provides Sharjah Art Foundation’s first show of Autumn. “Working with materials such as cotton rope\, fabric\, cement and hair\, the artist emphasises slow gestures\, intentional movements and the fatigue that can build from ongoing\, repetitive and even invisible labour …” \nThe exhibition’s title comes from a newly commissioned installation with the same name; that draws inspiration from desert plants that create spiral patterns in the sand as they move with the wind. For Afra Al Dhaheri\, this offers a metaphor for mental exhaustion and collective burnout\, the sense of being endlessly pushed to produce or perform: “in other works\, repetition emerges as a condition of making\, a method shaped by the interplay of tension\, weight and the ongoing rhythm of doing and undoing”.

SUMMARY:Michiko Tsuda and ::vtol::
DESCRIPTION:Dom Art Projects opens its new exhibition space and residency studios in Al Khayat Avenue with an inaugural exhibition that takes inspiration from the concept of time (and also plays on the meaning of ‘dom’ in Arabic: it can translate as ‘always). It features Japanese artist Michiko Tsuda and Russian artist ::vtol:: (Dmitry Morozov)\, both exhibiting in Dubai for the first time. \nTsuda is known for immersive installations exploring perception and space; occupying the main exhibition hall is an installation titled ‘You Would Come Back There to See Me Again the Following Day’ (above)\, a work which (in the words of the gallery) “explores our perception of time in relation to the evolution of new media\, their potential\, and the representation of the human being within them … It reflects the idea that our presence in time is multiplied\, refracted\, and never singular”. \nAlso showcased is ‘Takir’\, a “science art object” by ::vtol::. He works with sound\, robotics\, and emergent systems; this piece references the drying up of the Aral Sea\, looping endlessly\, accompanied by documentation\, research materials\, and reflections on the geography of Central Asia. “The disappearance of the sea is both a story of the Earth’s fate and a reminder of the consequences of imperial ambition and human exploitation — as well as an invitation to reflect on time in a geological dimension.” \nVisitors can also experience live performances\, including sound artist Peter Aidu’s interpretation of Steve Reich’s masterpiece “Piano Phase.” In Reich’s composition\, two identical musical patterns gradually shift out of sync\, creating a hypnotic field of rhythm and resonance; Aiduperforms it simultaneously on two pianos\, manually achieving the phasing effect through his own coordination. \nAlso taking place is Caryatid\, a performance by Elena Kovylina that embodies the mythic female figure from classical architecture who bears the weight of the structure upon her shoulders. The artist physically supports a heavy wooden model of a traditional reed house\, evoking the essential yet often invisible role of women as the foundation of home\, society\, and culture. \nOn the opening weekend there will be talks by the artists and a chance to see the studios\, which will be home to artists-in-residence. The schedule: \n28 November \n3pm – 4.30pm Guided tours of the exhibitions\n4.30 – 6pm Artist talk with Peter Aidu discussing how he reimagines music. Free\, but preregister here \n29 November \n3pm – 4pm Artist talk with Dmitry Morozov aka ::VTOL:: on science and robotics in contemporary art. Moderated by Alisa Bagdonaite\, Dom Art Projects Chief Curator. Free\, but preregister here\n4.30 – 6pm Artist talk with Michiko Tsuda\, whose practice explores how visual media mediates our understanding of time and presence\, will present her work and her career journey.

SUMMARY:Claire & Antho: Souvenirs
DESCRIPTION:Conceived and performed by the French duo Claire & Anthony\, Souvenirs transforms Sharjah’s open spaces into a stage where silhouettes\, music and dance intertwine. Blending physical theatre\, shadow play\, dance\, and live video projection\, the piece explores the invisible baggage we carry – memories\, regrets\, dreams – with cinematic beauty and quiet humour. Both playful and contemplative\, Souvenirs is a tribute to human resilience and a testament to art’s ability to breathe new life into the familiar. \nThere’s a second performance tomorrow (29 November).
