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.
NIKA Project Space presents Fever, a multisensory exhibition by artist Christiane Peschek (they/them) inspired by the consequences of global warming and the idea of planetary and bodily fever dreams. Supported by the gallery’s dedicated research programme, the immersive site-specific show is the artist’s first solo in the UAE and explores extreme emotional and physical states through the lens of the Internet’s impact on culture and environment.

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.
Art Jameel, an organisation that supports artists and creative communities, presents ‘Night Stone’, the first solo exhibition in West Asia of Los Angeles-based interdisciplinary artist Candice Lin. On view from September 26, 2024, until January 12, 2025, it explores historical and contemporary trade links between Australia and China through a one-room installation, accompanied by new ceramic sculptures and a site-specific mural.
