SUMMARY:All the Lands from Sunrise to Sunset
DESCRIPTION:“All the lands from sunrise to sunset”\, a phrase attributed to the Mesopotamian king Sargon of Akkad\, graphically invoked his claim to total dominion. Taking this assertion as both point of departure and provocation\, this exhibition includes works by Alla Abdunabi\, Fatma Al Ali\, Alessandro Balteo-Yazbeck (whose series of the same name provides the exhibition’s title) and Michael Rakowitz. Together they consider the persistence of imperialism through language\, image\, material\, and myth. \nSays the gallery: “Rather than presenting empire as a concluded historical form\, the exhibition treats it as an ongoing condition – one that mutates\, rebrands\, and embeds itself in contemporary visual culture … Across these practices\, the exhibition resists singular narratives. Instead\, it stages overlapping temporalities in which ancient empires\, colonial enterprises\, and contemporary geopolitical formations mirror and refract one another … Rather than offering resolution\, the exhibition invites sustained attention to the ways power endures\, adapts\, and continues to structure how the world is seen\, remembered\, and lived.” \nTo 1 June. \nAbove: Alessandro Balteo-Yazbeck\, #FosilFuel (2018\, detail. From the series All the Lands from Sunrise to Sunset)

SUMMARY:Kamrooz Aram: Domestic Compositions
DESCRIPTION:A solo exhibition by Kamrooz Aram. The artist’s practice integrates sculpture\, painting\, and architecture\, creating a context for viewing cultural artefacts in a way that brings them back into the present. \nAt the centre of five collages\, for instance\, is a repeated photo reproduction. The image is the kind of colour plate typical of Western art history books from the mid-to late 20th century\, part of a decidedly Western taxonomy of museological and cultural representation – its own kind of artefact. \nIn making this series\, Aram excised the photo of the bowl from several copies of a publication he deliberately does not name. But in his collage works\, the artist uses images from his collection of books documenting Iranian art\, with the rule that they must have been published before 1978\, the year that Edward Said’s Orientalism was published\, engendering the field of Postcolonial studies and offering a clear before-and-after. \nTo 10 January. \nAbove: Kamrooz Aram\, Untitled (Paravent) (2024)

SUMMARY:LAST CHANCE Nazgol Ansarinia: Instruments of Viewing an Obscurity
DESCRIPTION:Recent projects from the Tehran-born artist. Nazgol Ansarinia’s work examines the systems and networks that underpin her daily life – from everyday objects to routines\, events and experiences. She’s interested in the relationships they form to make up a larger social context. Ansarinia’s practice reflects upon tensions between private worlds and the wider socioeconomic realm\, and “how local iterations of a culture might act as a site for the hopes and fears of those living in a (faltering) globalised world” as the gallery puts it. This exhibition of recent work ranges across sculpture\, installation\, drawing\, and video\, representing ways of understanding the role of architecture in delineating interior and exterior spaces and private and public spheres.

SUMMARY:LAST CHANCE Maryam Hoseini: Swells
DESCRIPTION:The second solo exhibition at this gallery for the Iran-born\, NY-based artist features new paintings that revels in transplanting elements within themselves. Hoseini says “the figures have moved from architecture to landscape”; so the flat figure expands and multiplies in rounded limb\, breast\, buttock\, organ\, and thigh … Ground\, now rectangular\, sometimes rounded\, is repossessed by this swell. It grows as if vegetal. Devouring itself\, boring into the wood panel’s visible\, soaked\, grain like a termite\, the figure makes of such pictorial amplification a carnal feast …”

SUMMARY:Seher Shah: Of Dust and Woven Air
DESCRIPTION:Shah draws inspiration from Agha Shahid Ali’s poem\, The Dacca Gauzes – “Those transparent Dacca gauzes / known as woven air\, running / water\, evening dew: / a dead art now\, dead over / a hundred years”. Says the artist: “There is an unknown quality that materials hold by weaving histories and cultures speaking to each other. I thought of this material resonance when I first read Agha Shahid Ali’s poem\, … His words evoked memories of my maternal family and the cities they inhabited; a cartography between the real and imaginedOf Dust and Woven Air are studies into absence and memory through drawing\, printmaking and poetry. A poetry of loss and erasure revealed in line\, form and materiality on paper. Working with dust and its accumulations\, I draw on Bengal muslin (gauze)\, the ethereal cloth of Agha Shahid Ali’s poem …” To 5 April.

DESCRIPTION:New work by the Lebanese-born Paris-based sculptor. Working mainly in wood but occasionally in marble or stone\, Choukini’s aethetic may appear somewhat primitivist; in fact his sculptures exhibit a sophisticated interrogation of organic and mechanical worlds. To 20 January.

SUMMARY:LAST CHANCE Reverberations: Textile as Echo
DESCRIPTION:The second of three exhibitions showcasing contemporary approaches to textile and fibre art curated for Green Art Gallery by Murtaza Vali. It brings together work by four contemporary artists – M’barek Bouhchichi\, Sayan Chanda\, Himali Singh Soin\, and Swapnaa Tamhane – that references the rich and diverse history and practice of textile arts across South and West Asia and North Africa. \nOften made in collaboration with master artisans\, the included artworks use a variety of traditional dyeing and weaving techniques and materials: wool cloth made in southeastern Morocco and then stained with henna; a handwoven tapestry and a patchwork abstraction that incorporate deconstructed vintage quilts and scarves from Bengal; Ikat fabric dyed and woven in Andhra Pradesh; and industrially made cotton embellished by hand with wood block printing and mirror embroidery in the desert region of Kutch\, Gujarat. “Countering colonial and modernist discourses that devalued such Indigenous textile traditions as mere craft\, these works reclaim their vitality as a mode of contemporary expression. Complicating modernist notions of autonomy and authorship through collaboration\, they blur commonly held distinctions between object and process\, form and ornament\, past and future\, and the handmade and the digital. And much like the traditional techniques and processes they invoke\, these artworks remind us that textile is always a multisensory medium\, resonating across visual\, sonic\, and bodily registers …”

SUMMARY:Memory is the Seamstress
DESCRIPTION:A group exhibition curated by Murtaza Vali\, featuring works by Hangama Amiri\, Cian Dayrit\, Melissa Joseph\, Lebohang Kganye\, Jagdeep Raina and Raed Yassin. \n“Memory is the seamstress\, and a capricious one at that. Memory runs her needle in and out\, up and down\, hither and thither. We know not what comes next\, or what follows after.” The Virginia Woolf quote proposes sewing a metaphor for the unpredictable processes of memory\, its ability to suture together the disparate fragments of daily life into a narrative fabric that can feel both connected and disjointed. \nShowcasing the diversity within textile arts\, this exhibition brings together artists using a variety of techniques\, from appliqué and felting to hand and machine embroidery\, to translate the photographic into fabric. Countering the instantaneity of photographic capture\, and the amnesia it paradoxically enables\, the gradual accumulative labour of textile work reintroduces the complex and unpredictable textures of memory\, creating room for imagination and play\, for affect and critique\, softening the sharp contours of an indexical record into a collage\, an impression\, an annotation\, an image\, “and a capricious one at that”. \nTo 3 November.
