“Molding Anew” Solo Exhibition by Rand Abdul Jabbar at Lawrie Shabibi, Dubai

Lawrie Shabibi, Dubai, presents Molding Anew, Rand Abdul Jabbar’s (b. 1990, Baghdad) first solo exhibition at the gallery. The exhibition builds on her recent commission for Desert X Alula, where myths are born of mud and desire (2024), staging an interplay between narrative and sculpture to explore myth-making as a method of preservation and transformation.

On The Move: Art as Process

Process–the “how” of artmaking–is one of the most mercurial aspects of creative production. Finding a process that works is the cornerstone of productivity; yet artists struggle to identify it, articulate it, and reflect on it. Historically, the question that critics and audiences love to ask of artists—“how did you make this?”—has been a carefully guarded mystery, and is difficult to answer. The artistic process often verges far from transparency, consistency, and linearity, and any question of “how” often opens onto another complex question of intentionality–the “why” of artmaking.
