May 2017
Rock, Paper, Scissors: Positions in Play
Curated by Hammad Nasar, the exhibition explores a strand of artistic practice in the UAE through the analogy of play. Featuring existing works, re-fabrication of 'lost' works and new commissions, the exhibition will stage a set of nested questions: Where does 'playfulness' in artistic practice come from ? How and where is 'play' nurtured? What does 'play' do?
The five featured artists are nationals and long-term residents who call the UAE home: Nujoom Alghanem, Sara Al Haddad, Vikram Divecha, Lantian Xie and Dr. Mohamed Yousif
