Several solo shows have opened across the country as the UAE art season enters full swing.
From Ruba Salameh’s investigation into Palestinian visual identity through abstraction, to an exhibition delving into the works and practice of pioneering Emirati artist Mohamed Ahmed Ibrahim, here are 15 art exhibitions to see this week.
Silent Residues at Iris Projects
An artist known for blurring the lines between performance and photography, Ammar Al Attar is presenting a body of recent work that ponders upon the cyclical nature of our daily rituals.
The Emirati artist ventures towards peripheral sites across the country, engaging with the remnants of human presence and industrial debris, coaxing from them stories and meaning.
His monochrome photographs are superimposed with painted circles, emanating from the works with phosphoric vibrancy while tackling themes that range from the caprice of censorship to daily absurdities and the human capacity for adapting in a world that is quickly changing.
Until November 26, Monday to Friday, 11am-7pm; Abu Dhabi
