SUMMARY:LAST CHANCE Lydia Nakashima Degarrod and Susan Ossman: Projects of Art Ethnography
DESCRIPTION:This exhibition brings together works by two artist-anthropologists with practices on the boundaries between scholarship and art. Their projects invite viewers to reflect on migration\, memory\, identity\, and the ways knowledge takes shape across bodies\, materials\, and stories. \nThe exhibition unfolds in six sections\, each anchored by a distinct project. Together\, these works and the projects they represent open a space where imagination\, intellect\, and emotion intersect. Visitors encounter not only completed artworks but also traces of their making – interviews\, documentation\, and collaborative processes – illuminating possibilities for associating ethnographic and artistic practices.

SUMMARY:LAST CHANCE A Room of One’s Own
DESCRIPTION:Curated by Duygu Demir\, NYUAD assistant professor of Art History and curator at the Art Gallery\, this exhibition features new work by current MFA students Maha Alasaker\, Yuehan Dai\, Nour Elbery\, Almaha Jaralla\, Tooba Shaikh\, and Shaima Shamsi that has been developed over the past year. A Room of One’s Own invites viewers to consider the possibilities that emerge when artists are given the freedom to create; the exhibition borrows its title from Virginia Woolf’s 1929 essay\, which argued that creative work requires both physical space and material support; the works on show reflect on personal and shared histories\, examining themes such as colonialism\, displacement\, systems of power\, environmental transformation\, and the boundaries\, mental and physical\, that define experience.

SUMMARY:LAST CHANCE Bygones
DESCRIPTION:What does it mean to come from a home that does not exist today? The artworks in this exhibition examine the idea of true foreigners – whose left-behind homes exist not only in a different place\, but also in a different time. Bygones was born out of a longing for community\, and reflects on the trials and tribulations of holding onto a homeland when one relates wholeheartedly to what it once was\, but what it is no longer. \nThis is a deeply personal exhibition for curator Anita Shishani\, who has included her own paintings\, weaving her voice into the dialogue visually. Artists Anastasia A\, Alla Abdunabi\, Aya Afaneh\, Houssam Ballan\, Bady Dalloul\, Hala El Abora\, Zaina El-Said\, Syed Hussain\, Diana Ishaqat\, Pouran Jinchi\, Anuar Khalifi\, Yoonsik Chico Park\, and Ansadat Zumsoy have contributed their work.

SUMMARY:LAST CHANCE Susan Doe: Entwined
DESCRIPTION:The first Project Space exhibition of the new season features a series of paintings\, sculptures\, and installations through which Susan Doe explores ideas of intersectionality\, rooted in her own bicultural upbringing. Says the gallery: “Reflecting on her Chinese American background\, the artist blends together disparate elements to create something unexpected. Through this process\, she plays with illusions of materiality\, making metal threads appear soft and weaving paper to mimic large solid sculptures.”

SUMMARY:Chinasa Ezugha: The Narrow Path – Glossolalia in Public
DESCRIPTION:A performance film\, the second in a series of three performance projects by the artist in which the act of glossolalia — speaking in tongues — can be seen as a ceremonial performance. Transcending ordinary verbal communication\, it keys in on an event that focuses on ritualistic and symbolic aspects rather than the conveyance of conventional meaning. \nChinasa Ezugha is Assistant Arts Professor of Live Art/Art as Social Practice at NYU Abu Dhabi. \nTo 6 March. \n

SUMMARY:Being Borrowed: On Egyptian Migration to the Gulf
DESCRIPTION:An exhibition featuring 21 Egyptian artists and curated by Farah Hallaba\, Farida Youssef\, and Ali Zaaray. It’s the result of an collaboration that was first presented in Cairo in 2022 and brings the authors of this project together with research by NYUAD faculty Laure Assaf on second-generation Arab migrants in Abu Dhabi. \nBeing Borrowed is part of a larger aim to produce accessible knowledge that invites people to question and to feel. Migration and its effects – on families\, affects\, homes – is a widely shared experience; there is much to gain by opening the doors of knowledge production beyond academia\, and inviting the public to take part in this process. \nThis project is funded by the NYUAD Arts and Humanities Research Kitchen Al Mashhad initiative. To 7 February.

SUMMARY:Janet Bellotto: Salted Edges #islandparadise
DESCRIPTION:Janet Bellotto – artist and Professor of Visual Arts at ZU’s College of Arts and Creative Enterprises– has been studying islands as both geography and metaphor for more than a decade. In Salted Edges #islandparadise she explores the concept of liminal space\, where islands mark the threshold between two terrains. Her exhibition centres on two islands\,Sir Bani Yas off Abu Dhabi and Canada’s Sable Island in the North Atlantic\, positioning photographs\, videos\, sculptures\, and found objects within the context of climate change\, adaptation\, survival\, and deluge\, encouraging visitors to contemplate the urgent issues of our time. \nTo 26 November.

SUMMARY:Brídín Clements Cotton and Michael Shiloh: Your Message Could Not Be Delivered
DESCRIPTION:Works by artist\, engineer\, and NYUAD Associate Professor of Practice of Interactive Media Michael Shiloh; and artist\, performing arts manager\, and NYUAD Arts Instructor of Stage and Project Management Brídín Clements Cotton. \nWhat systems do we rely on daily? How does this reliance shape our relationships with each other? With the system? Does the mode of communication influence our tone? Does it impact what we share? The exhibition promises “an opportunity for UAE audiences to engage with the hidden world of the systems we rely on daily to communicate with one another …” Essentially it’s a participatory installation\, with visitors invited to come prepared to work with tools and get their hands dirty\, and also to bring along their own written correspondences– postcards\, letters\, and emails\, as they become a part of the ever-evolving exhibit. \nThis exhibition includes a collection of original archival documents from the NYUAD Library’s Archives and Special Collections Department. \nTo 5 September.

SUMMARY:Talal Al Najjar\, Ziad Al Najjar: Symbiotic Hyperreal
DESCRIPTION:This exhibition marks the first duo show for Emirati brothers Talal Al Najjar and Ziad Al Najjar. They each maintain a distinct individual artistic practice\, but developed in close proximity to one another; and both draw upon their relationship to their surroundings\, particularly Dubai\, where they grew up. \nViewed together\, the works of Talal and Ziad create a quality of simulation\, unrealness\, or hyperreality (the inability to distinguish from a simulation of reality). From the moment that the viewer enters the space\, they are watching\, but there is also a sense of being watched. \nTo 14 June. \nThis exhibition is curated by Tala Nassar; it marks Nassar’s final project at The NYUAD Art Gallery\, before departing to pursue graduate study at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago.
