SUMMARY:LAST CHANCE Nazilya Nagimova: Follow the Snail
DESCRIPTION:The first solo exhibition in the Emirates for the Münster-based Tatar artist Nazilya Nagimova brings together new works created specifically for her solo project at NIKA Project Space\, plus selections from earlier projects. \nNagimova explores memory\, migration\, and the search for belonging\, and these works share a thematic core: the artist’s ongoing experiments with felt (a traditional material of her ancestors)\, her engagement with the long histories of Tatar mobility and settlement\, and the idea of home as a mobile\, vulnerable\, and constantly transforming structure. Says the gallery: “The exhibition unfolds as a reflection on the fragility of shelter and on how personal and collective memory shape our intimate relationship to place and community”.

SUMMARY:LAST CHANCE Adrian Pepe: A Shroud is a Cloth 
DESCRIPTION:Adrian Pepe’s poetic meditation on fragmentation and renewal gets an extended run at NIKA Project Space. It uses a monumental 200m2 woollen textile piece that previously wrapped a building damaged in the 2020 Beirut Port explosion to highlight the relationship between materials\, cultural landscapes\, and ecological intimacy\, “challenging the rigid demarcations between art\, labor\, nature\, and performance through a textile medium” as the gallery has it. \nThe works in this show\, all derived from a single source\, range in scale from intimate to monumental. Wool – cleansed\, processed\, manipulated\, and recontextualised – becomes a vessel for gestures\, images\, and rituals. Debris extracted from it – dirt\, seeds\, remnants of vegetable matter – captures the landscape within the material. Stitching\, felting\, and acts of assembly transform these materials into new compositions\, reflecting on material processes\, ecological intimacy\, and the fragility of being. “Wool has this capacity to hold time – it is resilient yet malleable\, intimate yet expansive\,” says Pepe. “In this exhibition\, I am exploring how materials are never neutral; they shape\, and are shaped by care\, labor\, and the environments they inhabit.”

SUMMARY:Christiane Peschek: Fever
DESCRIPTION:The artist’s first solo in the UAE is a multisensory exhibition inspired by environmental and emotional desert landscapes\, and more specifically “the consequences of global warming and the idea of planetary and bodily fever dreams”; or\, as the gallery puts it\, the exhibition “explores extreme emotional and physical states through the lens of the Internet’s impact on culture and environment … In a large-scale takeover of the two-story gallery\, Fever blends sound\, scent\, heat\, and visuals to create an experience that explores the inner space between heat-induced delirium\, techno-shamanism – a movement combining technology\, music\, and spirituality – and fiction”. On the ground floor of the gallery\, Peschek will showcase new portraits on silk created in dialogue with AI and sculptures developed through glass blowing and 3D printing techniques\, while the mezzanine will be transformed into an immersive healing oracle installation. \nChristiane Peschek features as the third cycle of the NIKA Project Space research programme\, in line with the gallery’s desire to platform artistic discourse and experimentation. The two previous iterations had London-based artist Nika Neelova investigating the ancient marine life that once inhabited Sharjah’s Jebel Buhais archaeological site; and Katya Muromtseva interviewed women migrants in Dubai\, whose profoundly personal stories formed the foundation of her solo show at the gallery during a month-long residency. \nTo 11 January. \nAbove: Christiane Peshek\, from the series Transitions (2023): installation view

SUMMARY:LAST CHANCE Nika Neelova: Beghost
DESCRIPTION:A solo exhibition for the London-based artist that draws inspiration from Buhais Geology Park and Jebel Buhais archaeological site in Al Madam. Neelova’s sculptures\, crafted from a variety of materials including glass\, clay\, and fossilized shark teeth\, offer a speculative view of the ancient marine life that once inhabited the region; each piece tells a story of transformation and decay\, merging chemistry\, alchemy and geology to mirror the constant flux of material exchanges that define our world.

SUMMARY:LAST CHANCE Katya Muromtseva: Over the Slopes of Speech
DESCRIPTION:The New-York based artist gets her first show in the UAE\, featuring works she created in Dubai during her time at the NIKA Project Space Research and Residency programme – monumental watercolour triptychs that relate to the narratives and histories of women immigrants. Muromtseva is known for her socially engaged practice and large-scale paintings\, videos\, and installations that refer to personal and collective memory; these works are based on interactions the artist had with immigrants\, both in the USA and during a month-long visit to the UAE as part of the residency. The resulting watercolours aim to capture the resilience of these women and delve into themes of home\, borders\, refugees\, and human destinies.

SUMMARY:I Can No Longer Produce the Limits of My Own Body
DESCRIPTION:The fourth exhibition at NIKA Project Space is a group show for seven artists highlighting ecofeminist perspectives\, curated by Nadine Khalil and featuring work by Liane Al Ghusain\, Lilia Ziamou\, Dalia Khalife\, Sara Niroobakhsh\, Mirna Bamieh with Isaac Sullivan\, and Christiane Peschek. \nKhalil notes that the show features predominantly women-centric perspectives\, but says “the works are not about the gendered body per se. Rather\, they take a post-human perspective of entanglement and fluidity and interrogate the notion of boundaries by creating unique and site-specific architectures of occupying space – whether this is building a kitchen for fermentation or creating the material manifestations of grief”. \nThe standout is probably the second iteration of Sour Things\, a multimedia installation by Palestinian artist Mirna Bamieh. Sour Things: The Kitchen builds on an original commission for Sharjah Biennial 15 with a new sound composition by the UAE-based American artist Isaac Sullivan. \nPalestinian-Kuwaiti artist and writer Liane Al Ghusain explores a number of forms including video\, sculpture\, and text “to research the fields of mysticism\, feminism\, post-colonialism\, and science fiction”. Lebanese artist and scenographer Dalia Khalife does installations\, site-specific interventions and paintings which examine elements of spectacle and play within power structures\, social events\, and rituals. Abu Dhabi-based Iranian-Canadian artist Sara Niroobakhsh\, references the notion of cultural objects through installations and performance layered with her own technology and science-based interventions. Greek-American NY-based Lilia Ziamou explores how technology can transcend the biological and ideological constraints that shape the body in digital paintings\, sculptures and drawings. And Christiane Peschek\, an artist who says she lives and works in The Cloud\, produces multi-sensory installation and retouched self-portraits “observing the possibilities of online and offline intertwined lifestyles”. \nShould be an interesting show\, and it’s good to see that it’s getting a decent run. \nTo 7 January. \nAbove: Mirna Bamieh\, Sour Things (2023)
