SUMMARY:LAST CHANCE The Narrative of Decline
DESCRIPTION:Bernhard Buhmann curates this group show based on the idea that plunging downwards is both terrifying and liberating – the gallery quotes Andrea Roelig: “We stand between death and life\, and decline is dangerously enticing because it also carries an element of seduction”. Given those premises\, this could be an exciting show … \nThe artists: \nTamina Amadyar\nMonika Grabuschnigg\nMonia Ben Hamouda\nRidley Howard\nMaureen Kägi\nClaudia Larcher\nOliver Laric\nNour Malas\nPhilip Mueller\nChristoph Ruckhäberle

SUMMARY:LAST CHANCE Michael Sailstorfer: Air Electric
DESCRIPTION:Sailstorfer’s fourth solo exhibition with the gallery brings together three series of works that explore one of the artist’s signature themes: energy. He reflects on energy in its various forms – as a source\, as storage\, as a transmitter\, as working material – in short\, as fuel for life. \nThe sculptural series C-Batterie plays with notions of classical sculpture such as eternity\, uniqueness and preconceived values. At first glance\, the five bronze casts on white pedestals seem to fulfil these ideas: but is this really the case? Referencing Joseph Beuys’ Capri-Batterie (1985)\, Sailstorfer creates wax models of the original Capri battery\, places them in beehives\, leaves the bees to work on them for a few months\, and then removes the moulds to cast bronzes from them. The results feels as if nature has taken over\, destabilising and questioning the so-called balance while capturing the transience and the creative energy of the moment. \nAnother set of casts made from ordinary lightbulbs\, using the same process\, are suspended from the ceiling with reference to their original function. \nSailstorfer’s latest series – Air Electric\, from which the exhibition takes its title – turns electricity into his painting medium. A power supply unit provides a constant flow of direct current that ‘paints’ silver on to copper mesh; the result is an abstract\, electric landscape of pale blue cloud formations against a golden sky. Occasionally\, certain\nshapes can be made out through the web of clouds\, but the interpretation of the work is ultimately left to\nthe viewer. \nThe final work in the exhibition is an addition to Sailstorfer’s Tank series (2020 on). Tank 11 (2024\, above) consists of an empty Audi fuel tank\, deprived of its original function and context; the tank takes on anthropomorphic features\, reminiscent of oceanic masks from a bygone era. The sound of breathing fills the last part of the room\, reminding us that energy in any given form is always fuel for life.

SUMMARY:LAST CHANCE Nour Malas: Evil is Banal
DESCRIPTION:Nour Malas’ solo exhibition starts with Hannah Arendt’s quote about the Nazis’ unconscionable acts of genocide: they were not exceptional but part of a wider belief that estimated some human lives as disposable. For Malas\, displacement upheaves feelings of belonging; this unsettling becomes one’s condition\, not merely an effect. When home is an ambiguous place\, the desire for consistency carries reassurance even as one remains aware of the cracks in this elusive safety. Her work traverses the physical and emotional landscapes of worlds increasingly marked by pervasive violence. The artist layers paint\, blurring the distinction between abstraction and the presence of figures; she uses a palette of colours she associates both with the materiality of the body and responses of alarm or anxiety\, manifestations of psycho-social reactions.

SUMMARY:LAST CHANCE Sarah Almehairi and Bernhard Buhmann: The Errantries of Sarah Almehairi and Bernhard Buhmann
DESCRIPTION:An exhibition of recent paintings by the two artists that feature “unexpected protrusions and punctures … that are\, as the philosopher Édouard Glissant describes it\, ‘a poetics of errantry’\, both adventurous wanderings and rebellious misdirections. Referencing forms and motifs from within their past works\, the artists lure us in with the familiar\, only to journey to new discoveries and connections …” \nFor Almehairi\, this process entails a build-up of layers that may be linked but remain—as the series title states—‘off centred’. Buhmann’s latest works he describes as a “detox version\,” cast out into the world with certain elements removed.

SUMMARY:LAST CHANCE backbone
DESCRIPTION:studio salasil has curated this group show of six artists “who engage in risk and interruption within their practices”\, structuring the exhibition around the effective concept of the backbone – “a central\, internal structure of strength that binds and connects things together\, embodying our internal worlds and expanded senses of function and feeling. The metaphorical meaning is similar to the figurative translation of the word\, سند in Arabic\, which refers to someone who has your back. Through the interrogation of the word\, backbone explores the complexities and fragilities of these structures which at times can be exposed\, excavated or elusive …” \nThe artists: \nNour Malas\nMalik Thomas Jalil Kydd\nKaïs Dhifi\nAlia Hamaoui\nJana Ghalayini\nAudrey Large & Théophil Blande \nThis should be an interesting show\, if studio salasil’s ambitions and past work are any guide. Describing itself as “a future-focusing curatorial studio tending to care\, research and experimentation”\, salasil also did the rather good Crystal Clear show at Bayt Al Mamzar last year.

SUMMARY:André Butzer: Becoming Matisse
DESCRIPTION:A solo show from one of Carbon 12’s regulars. Butzer’s style is characterised by “Disney figures painted by Munch”: iconic characters\, expressive language\, deceptively careful use of colour\, all done in “in honour of Henri Matisse” says the artrist. “Simultaneously offering intro- and extrospection\, contemplation and avoidance\, Butzer’s painting is embedded in his methodical and investigative nature toward basic humanity as its incorruptible leitmotif” says the artist. \nTo 30 March. \nAbove: André Butzer\, Untitled (2023)
