SUMMARY:Joana Hadjithomas and Khalil Joreige: The Vertiginous Story of Orthosia
DESCRIPTION:A second performance for Joana Hadjithomas and Khalil Joreige’s speculative performance about the lost Roman city of Orthosia. buried beneath the Nahr al Bared refugee camp in north Lebanon. The ruins of the ancient city of Orthosia\, lost since being hit by a tsunami in 551 CE\, are a major find; but a proper archaeological investigation would necessitate yet another displacement for the families living there – a process that would be socially\, politically and humanly untenable. Performed by Ahmed Abu Arada and Miryana Milad Almaalouly as part of Sharjah Art Foundation’s Perform Sharjah programme\, The Vertiginous Story of Orthosia is presented in English with Arabic subtitles.

SUMMARY:Three Tired Tigers
DESCRIPTION:Bringing together more than 40 artists and collectives\, drawing from politics\, history\, economics and urbanism\, this exhibition takes a playful yet serious approach to how animals navigate and thrive within the gaps of urban environments. What happens when animals escape their enclosures or conflict with humans\, shifting from admired symbol to nuisance\, from pet to pest? Visitors are challenged to rethink coexistence\, ecology and the importance of recognising animals as part of our everyday geographies. \nFeaturing works by artists engaging with urban animals across different regions – from Dubai’s many street cats to stories of displaced dogs\, disappearing lions and bears living atop mountains – the exhibition invites us to view our cities and landscapes from a (mostly) four-legged perspective. It is curated by Lucas Morin. \nWorks by: Noor Abuarafeh; Asim Abu Shakra; Abbas Akhavan; Farah Al Qasimi; Heba Y Amin; Atelier HOKO; Sophia Balagamwala; Sammy Baloji; Jumana Bayazid El Husseini; Anna Boghiguian; Kasper Bosmans; Cheng Xinhao; Ali Cherri; Chim↑Pom from Smappa!Group; Bouie Choi; Jason Dodge; Mohieddine Ellabbad; Annika Eriksson; Simryn Gill; Kadhim Hayder; Khalid Jauffer; Hayv Kahraman; Sudhira Karna\, Madhumala Mandal\, Rebati Mandal\, Selo Yadav and Sumitra Yadav; Kee Ya Ting and David Tan\, with Migrant Ecologies Projects; Candice Lin; Ali Milad; Benoît Piéron; Pilar Quinteros; Walid Raad; Khalil Rabah; Araya Rasdjarmrearnsook; Lin May Saeed; Mark Salvatus; Walid Siti; Shimabuku; Mariam Suhail; Risham Syed; Robert Zhao Renhui (The Institute of Critical Zoologists). \nTo 16 March. \nAbove: Asim Abu Shakra\, Beast\, 1986.

SUMMARY:Creative Career Days
DESCRIPTION:The Jameel’s introduction to careers in the creative sector\, aimed primarily at school and college students\, is back. Under the (somewhat unwieldy) title Form = Function = Form = Function = Form\, the 2024 edition focus on design careers “and the ways in which the arts intersect with design\, architecture\, fashion\, graphics\, interiors and beyond”. \n“Attendees discover the disciplines of design thinking\, from collaborative and problem-solving approaches to the myriad opportunities that lie between the intersection of form and function” via stands run by potential employers and educators (over 30 UAE organisations and universities) plus hands-on workshops (craft-making\, but also CV-writing)\, panel discussions\, and a series of ‘Meet the Creative’ talks. And the valuable ‘career surgery stations’ are back\, offering one-to-one consultations with career experts suggesting tailored career mapping plans. \nThere will also be onsite food stalls\, music and entertainment “for all ages”. \nThis is the drop-in open-to-all day; it’s preceded on 10 and 11 October by two prebook-only days\, dedicated to group visits by school and universities and anyone with a student ID. Early registration is recommended via this link.

SUMMARY:LAST CHANCE At the Edge of Land
DESCRIPTION:This group exhibition\, curated by Lucas Morin\, highlights unexpectedly interconnected geographies\, resources and commodities\, moving between land and sea to tell stories of conflict\, erosion and extraction; it’s based on works from the Art Jameel Collection plus loans and new commissions by 18 international artists.

SUMMARY:Candice Lin: Night Stone
DESCRIPTION:The LA-based artist’s first solo exhibition in West Asia. In Night Stone\, a large one-room installation\, Candice Lin uses ceramic sculptures\, textile works and a site-specific mural to connect the contemporary trade of manganese between Australia and China with the 18th-century commerce in sea cucumbers. Intrigued by the sea cucumbers’ unique digestive and respiratory systems\, Lin imagines and depicts their toxic encounter with manganese and the surprising bodily transformations that follow. \nThe exhibition was co-commissioned by the Biennale of Sydney and Monash University Museum of Art | MUMA in Melbourn. \nTo 12 January.

SUMMARY:Artist’s Rooms: Sancintya Mohini Simpson

SUMMARY:Artist’s Rooms: Augustine Paredes
DESCRIPTION:Augustine Paredes’ artist’s room brings together his own personal histories and stories that explore his relationship to identity and family via his personal journey as a migrant\, navigating constantly between time\, places and identities. Gradually moving away from the camera as a main source of image-making\, he has embraced a more process-based approach that focuses on the inherent qualities and agency of materials used within his work. \nThe exhibition’s central work is Mother – a portrait of Marife\, an all-important figure in his life and one that embodies his connection to home and sense of belonging. Other works present traces of burns\, verses of poems\, paintings\, ink stains\, fibres\, pearls and wool threads. Together\, these works explore the artist’s reflections on guilt\, desire and devotion. \nJameel’s Artists Rooms series gives a single gallery over to a solo exhibition by influential\, innovative artists\, with a particular focus on practitioner from the Middle East\, Asia and Africa. These capsule shows are collaborative and curated in dialogue with the artist. \nTo 24 November.

SUMMARY:Artist’s Rooms: Amba Sayal-Bennett
DESCRIPTION:Works spanning the last eight years of the artist’s practice that critically engage with the socio-political contexts of architectural heritage and modernist ideologies and aesthetics. Drawing is at the centre of Amba Sayal-Bennett’s practice\, expanding across works on paper\, projections and sculptural installations; she is particularly interested in the nature of abstraction\, using technology in the form of language\, tools\, methods and materiality to stage relations and engagement between human and non-human. \nWithin her work\, Sayal-Bennett critiques the tendency of colonial practices to decontextualise and appropriate. She traces the migration of architectural forms across continents\, such as to Chandigarh in Punjab\, the birthplace of her maternal grandparents\, and where Le Corbusier’s purpose-built city examines the failings of modernism in post-colonial contexts. She explores modernism’s rejection of ornamentalism as well as her interest in sci-fi aesthetics\, a genre which has long been criticised for its colonial overtones. \nJameel’s Artists Rooms series gives a single gallery over to a solo exhibition by influential\, innovative artists\, with a particular focus on practitioner from the Middle East\, Asia and Africa. These capsule shows are collaborative and curated in dialogue with the artist. \nTo 24 November.

SUMMARY:All That Perishes at the Edge of Land: dir Hira Nabi (2019)
DESCRIPTION:Before the Ocean Master met its demise at the Gadani shipbreaking yards in Pakistan\, filmmaker and artist Hira Nabi gave it a voice and staged conversations between the vessel and the labourers dismantling it. The stories exchanged between the workers and the ship allude to the hazards and toxicity that affect the workers and the sea. \nInspired by the 1959 book Aag Ka Darya (River of Fire) by Urdu writer and poet Qurratulain Hyder\, Nabi incorporates insights from discussions with her mother\, as well as ideas from Rob Nixon’s Slow Violence and the Environmentalism of the Poor and poems by the left-wing Pakistani author Faiz Ahmed Faiz. \nThe screening runs for 30 minutes and will be followed by a Q&A session conducted in Urdu\, Hindi\, and English.

SUMMARY:Book Launch: Everyday Life in the Spectacular City – Making Home in Dubai
DESCRIPTION:The Jameel is running a third season of Night School\, a seminar programme where UAE residents can discuss urbanism and history in Dubai. Under this season’s theme\, There You Are\, participants will assess how much we can know about a place just by taking a good look around. The seminar itself is fully booked\, but there are three public events in Art Jameel’s lobby; this is one of them. \nDr Rana AlMutawa from NYUAD introduces her new book in a discussion with Neha Vora sbout how scholars develop honed senses of sight and hearing. The book shows how Dubai’s inhabitants adapt themselves to top-down development projects\, from big malls to megaprojects\, to find “a more nuanced story of belonging”\, and sounds genuinely fascinating.

SUMMARY:Vikram Divecha: Short Circuits
DESCRIPTION:Vikram Divecha’s exhibition covers the Dubai-based artist’s practice since 2013\, showcasing his playful and poetic site-specific works\, public art\, installations\, videos\, photography and drawings. In particular\, Divecha has long had an in-depth interest in the invisible structures of planning\, construction\, demolition and maintenance that shape the cities of the UAE and beyond; it’s this creative obsession that informs most of his work. \nCurated by Art Jameel’s Dawn Ross\, Head of Collections\, and Lucas Morin\, Curator\, the exhibition includes works from the Art Jameel Collection\, local and international loans\, and new commissions.  This is one exhibition we’re really looking forward to\, and it’s good that it is getting such a long run. \nTo 16 June. \nAbove: Vikram Divecha\, Fee Transfer (2017) \n

SUMMARY:Traversing Landscapes
DESCRIPTION:The Jameel is running a third season of Night School\, a seminar programme where UAE residents can discuss urbanism and history in Dubai. Under this season’s theme\, There You Are\, participants will assess how much we can know about a place just by taking a good look around. The seminar itself is fully booked\, but there are three public events in Art Jameel’s lobby; this is one of them. \nHind Mezaina curates five short films that respond to the Night School theme of sensing our whereabouts: \nEl Chinero\, A Phantom Hill dir Bani Khoshnoudi (2022\, 11 min) El Chinero is a rugged hill in the Baja California desert where many people are thought to have died while crossing the desert from mainland Mexico. Myth and identity\, reality and fiction\, ghosts and memory: a site of tragedy with no traces nor remnants to be seen. How can one fill this memory void with images and artefacts in an attempt to construct an archive where none exists? \nTransitions dir Aurèle Ferrier (2017\, 13 min) A journey from the civilising void of the desert to a maximal urban\, capitalistic and hedonistic density\, which in the case of Las Vegas assumes some bizarre expression. \nThe Unofficial Countryside dir Jacob Cartwright & Nick Jordan (2021\, 17 min) An observational documentary on the ‘edgeland’ landscapes between the urban and the rural\, where nature thrives on the fringes of the city in a landscape shaped by the activities and imprints of people passing through. \nBlue Honda Civic dir Jussi Eerola (2020\, 10 min) A minimalistic road movie mirroring the emotions of the driver through the landscapes (s)he has chosen to look at. \nShadegan dir Ako Salemi (2019\, 15 min) Twelve-year-old Milad guides his boat across the Shadegan wetlands in southwestern Iran. The beautiful photography shows an apparently relaxed life\, far away from the tyranny of mobile phones. Yet here\, too\, the threat of drought and pollution looms. \nAbove: Still from Shadegan\, Ako Salemi\, 2019 \n  \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:(No) Body is Translating
DESCRIPTION:The Jameel is running a third season of Night School\, a seminar programme where UAE residents can discuss urbanism and history in Dubai. Under this season’s theme\, There You Are\, participants will assess how much we can know about a place just by taking a good look around. The seminar itself is fully booked\, but there are three public events in Art Jameel’s lobby; this is one of them. \nAbu Dhabi-based writer Deepak Unnikrishnan will present the opening chapter to his first literary/artistic project in seven years\, Pettee. The lecture will focus on the role of the moving body in Gulf spaces as a translating device and sound machine\, and why he is convinced we must pay attention to community elders with Gulf roots: to document how they move/sound\, not only write what they say/remember. The project will continue in the spring with a dance and sonic collaboration at The Arts Center at NYU Abu Dhabi. \n

SUMMARY:Every Brilliant Thing
DESCRIPTION:Second and final performance for his highly recommended one-hander\, directed and performed by the Junction’s Gautam Goenka. As his mother battles chronic depression\, a child creates a list of every thing they can think of that makes life worth living. As the child grows\, so does the list. Looking back on a life of ups and downs\, the man takes the audience on an inspiring journey that celebrates finding joy in the mundane and being grateful for the simple pleasures hiding all around us. \nAt once intimate and interactive\, this touching\, funny\, and uplifting play (originally seen at the Junction earlier this year) chronicles life’s small joys and reveals the lengths to which we will go for those we love. The Guardian called it “one of the funniest plays you’ll ever see about depression – and possibly one of the funniest plays you’ll ever see\, full stop”. Written by the English playwright/director Duncan Macmillan with actor/writer/comedian Johnny Donahoe\, it sold out at three consecutive Edinburgh Festivals; it was also a big hit when the Junction did it in Dubai 18 months ago \n

SUMMARY:Creative Careers Days
DESCRIPTION:The Jameel’s annual festival devoted to helping the young explore a possible future in the arts is pitched at “all high school and university students\, teachers\, developing professionals and creatively minded youth in the UAE”. Day one is aimed at everyone – individuals but also families and teachers – while the second and thirds days (9 and 10 Oct) are group visits by school and universities only. \nThis second iteration of Creative Careers Days carries the title You Can’t Have Art Without … and aims to showcase “the multiple roles that can contribute to the growth of the arts ecosystem”. The intention is to show how interests and specialisations from outside the arts/creative bubble can be relevant; so topics like business\, accounting and law to humanities\, social studies and languages will be demonstrated to have a place in the creative industries. \nStudents are invited to join career surgery sessions to receive expert advice and guidance on navigating the creative industries. An additional multimedia research zone features behind-the-scenes videos and resources\, while the Jameel Library displays a special range of resources on pedagogy and arts education for both students and teachers. Jameel Arts Centre itself is activated fully throughout the event: in the Lobby\, visitors are invited to join career consultation sessions and receive expert advice on navigating the creative industries. Meanwhile the first floor gallery spaces will be taken over by 30 or so booths from arts organisations and universities from the UAE “and beyond”; and the Jameel Library features a special range of resources on pedagogy and arts education for faculty and education professionals. There’s a programme of inspirational talks\, informational workshops\, portfolio reviews\, one-to-one sessions and tours runs throughout the fair\, plus food stalls\, music and entertainment for all … \nIt’s free\, but preregistration is recommended via this link. (School and university groups should register here.)

SUMMARY:Some seasons: Fereydoun Ave and the Laal Collection\, 1959-2019
DESCRIPTION:Over the past five decades\, artist\, curator\, designer and collector Fereydoun Ave (b. 1945) has assembled a singular collection of modern and contemporary Iranian art inflected by personal history\, friendship\, sensibility and circumstance. \nA linchpin figure\, Ave returned to Iran in 1970 after years of education abroad\, organising groundbreaking exhibitions at the Iran-America Society’s Tehran cultural centre and the Zand Gallery\, while also serving as resident designer at the avant-garde Theatre Workshop (Kargah-e Namayesh). He remained in Iran after the 1979 Revolution and went on to launch 13 Vanak\, an irreverent independent arts space in the disused garden shed of an iconic Tehran square. 13 Vanak ran for over two decades\, incubating and launching the careers of countless artists. \nAve\, who is an accomplished artist himself\, serves as both subject and cipher of this presentation\, which brings together works by over 30 artists\, a unique vantage onto the fascinating – and contested – cultural history of 20th and 21st century Iran. \nFeaturing more than 30 artists from his collection\, this exhibition highlights five decades of modern and contemporary Iranian art\, shaped by personal history\, friendship\, sensibility and circumstance. \nFeatured artists in Galleries 9 and 10 include: Shirin Aliabadi\, Yaghoub Amaemehpich\, Nazgol Ansarinia\, Fereydoun Ave\, Haydeh Ayazi\, Ashurbanipal Babilla\, Sadra Baniasadi\, Leyly Matine-Daftary\, Davood Emdadian\, Parvaneh Etemadi\, Monir Shahroudy Farmanfarmaian\, Raana Farnoud\, Shahab Fotouhi\, Ali Golestaneh\, Ramin Haerizadeh\, Rokni Haerizadeh\, Arash Hanaiae\, Khosrow Hassanzadeh\, Sirak Melkonian\, Yashar Samimi Mofakham\, Ardeshir Mohasses\, Houman Mortazavi\, Farhad Moshiri\, Nikzad Nodjoumi\, Iman Raad\, Behjat Sadr\, Bijan Saffari\, Mostafa Sarabi\, Mamali Shafahi\, Reza Shafahi\, Shideh Tami\, Cy Twombly\, Manouchehr Yektai\, and Hossein-Ali Zabehi. \nCurated by Negar Azimi and Sohrab Mohebbi\, the exhibition debuted at the 58th Carnegie International; this expanded iteration is presented by Art Jameel in partnership with the Carnegie Museum of Art\, Pittsburgh. \nTo 24 March.

SUMMARY:Sara Sadik: Ils finiront dans des ravins (They will end up in ravines) / Le nez de ma mère (My Mother’s Nose)
DESCRIPTION:Co-commissioned with the Lyon Biennale\, this filmic installation by Sara Sadik uses video games\, science fiction\, everyday life and French rap music to write coming-of-age stories. \nAccompanying it is a continuously-running programme of French-language cinema titled Le nez de ma mère (My Mother’s Nose)\, which highlights the artistic context of Sadik’s work\, the constellation of peers and ideas from which it emerged\, and their shared political context. The films presented in the programme explore personal experiences of shame\, family histories\, and quests for love and security; each work demonstrates the capacity of artists to imagine\, tell stories\, build communities and write new narratives. The films: \nLe nez de ma mère (My Mother’s Nose) dir Harilay Rabenjamina (2021) 17 min \nLe Jardin (The Garden) dir Rayane Mcirdi (2021) 22 min \nKhtobtogone dir Sara Sadik (2021) 16 min \nSol in the Dark: Episode 1 dir Mawena Yehouessi (2022) 12 min \nDislocations dir Josèfa Ntjam (2022) 18 min \nTo 20 August.

SUMMARY:Jameel Arts Centre Youth Takeover
DESCRIPTION:The annual Jameel Arts Centre Youth Takeover – a physical takeover of the Jameel’s spaces by the eight members of The Assembly 2022-2023 – features multiple audiovisual and artwork interventions around the stairs\, passageways and galleries 9 and 10. \nThe Assembly is an annual talent development programme designed to support young artistic leadership in the UAE. Each year\, eight creatives aged 18-24 are selected for a programme that focusses on curatorial practices as a learning exercise\, responding to ongoing discourse while accessing Art Jameel’s network and opportunities. This year’s was designed\, curated and facilitated by Shama Nair\, independent curator\, researcher\, cultural projects manager and an alumnus of the 2021-22 Assembly. \nThe theme of this year’s takeover is composite\, asking “what makes us?”. The principal exhibition\, eight original commissions from young artists\, proposes that the self holds multiple sources and components; “the artworks herein\, compositions in their own right\, exist in dense and relational dialogue. Their layers stack up over time\, like the Earth’s stratas of rock\, compressed over millions of years.

SUMMARY:Library Circles: Another Empty House
DESCRIPTION:For the Fall iteration of Library Circles\, the jameel’s series of research\, talks and experimental interventions by UAE practitioners that explores alternative research methodologies and representations\, Jameel Library presents a display by Another Empty House. This collaborative research-based project by Juneida Abdul Jabber\, Shahnaz Hashim\, and Zahra Mansoor was established in 2020 to focus on the contemporary Gulf/Malayali experience. \nTheir research delves into economic\, patriarchal\, and capitalist behaviours that have contributed to a rise in vacant domestic houses in Kerala. It has included collecting and mapping tropes in film\, advertising\, YouTube videos\, and oral histories to create a nuanced understanding of this issue. Another Empty House aims to document and map urban networks\, exploring transience\, social class\, aspirations\, gender\, and space\, and the effects of this socio-economic and political issue. \nTo 30 October.

SUMMARY:Tsuyoshi Hisakado: Polite Existence
DESCRIPTION:Now we think this could be one of the highlights of the art year locally: it will be Tsuyoshi Hisakado’s first exhibition in the region (he shows mainly in his native Japan and the Pacific Rim\, with a foray to the 2019 Venice Biennale as well). The show features a wide body of work using a variety of techniques and materials – among them sound\, light\, sculpture\, drawing\, and large-scale immersive installations. \nAs the Jameel puts it\, “Hisakado’s multi-form practice questions the order of space\, time\, and other natural forces that inform and shape our everyday lives …” His practice also focuses on the seemingly mundane aspects of everyday life\, and his work often highlights subtle\, fleeting experiences. They can be delicate\, forceful\, thoughtful\, and sometimes all three; you could stand for a long time before his ongoing crossfades series of works on paper that feature a spiral of minute numbers derived from the mathematical constant pi – surely an allusion to infinity\, with subtle distortions caused by random splashes of ink. It’s a kind of visual poetry. \nYes\, we’re impressed by Hisakado and looking forward to this show. Polite Existence is curated by Anna Bernice delos Reyes and Yu Iseki following a curatorial exchange between Japan and the UAE in 2022; the exhibition is produced by Art Jameel in collaboration with the Japan Foundation and coincides with the 50th Anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between the United Arab Emirates and Japan. \nTo 24 September.
