SUMMARY:CLOSING TODAY Habeeb Abu-Futtaim: The Ongoing Performance of Melancholia and Songs in Solitude
DESCRIPTION:Two interconnected exhibitions\, both curated by Mo Reda and supported by the Department of Painting and Printmaking at VCUarts Qatar. Together\, The Ongoing Performance of Melancholia and Songs in Solitude mark the culmination of a two-month residency at Bayt AlMamzar; they present several different bodies of work developed over the past ten years\, drawing from an artistic practice shaped by sustained research\, investigation\, and critical inquiry. \nWorking across painting\, installation\, performance\, video\, and writing\, Abu-Futtaim investigates the construction and performance of collective identities\, examining how inherited symbols\, political imaginaries\, and cultural narratives become internalized as expressions of belonging. Songs in Solitude reflects on the intimate space of artistic practice through playfulness\, imagination\, intimacy\, and selfhood; The Ongoing Performance of Melancholia turns outward to examine the inherited performances of collective identity and the burden of unrealized political futures. Between them the exhibitions move between the personal and the political\, revealing how solitude\, memory\, and collective imagination continually shape one another.

SUMMARY:Studio Visit: Saif Mhaisen
DESCRIPTION:A visit with Saif Mhaisen\, a Dubai-based artist working primarily in charcoal drawing and large-scale oil painting. Mhaisen’s practice is rooted in slow observation\, creating portraits shaped by community\, presence\, and lived experience. Through an intimate look at his process and current projects\, this visit invites participants to connect with the artist’s approach to portraiture and the quiet intensity of looking closely. Part of the Dubai Collection Nights programme.
