Almaha Jaralla, Latifa Saeed, Samo Shalaby
Curated by Morad Montazami
In collaboration with the Abu Dhabi Department of Tourism and Culture
From April 16th to May 15th, Marignana Gallery is hosting the exhibition Beyond Emerging Artists, in collaboration with the Abu Dhabi Department of Tourism and Culture, featuring three young artists based in the UAE, Almaha Jaralla, Latifa Saeed, and Samo Shalaby. After the exposition in Abu Dhabi curated by Morad Montazami, they arrive in Venice presenting their new works in which all three explore new dialectics of daylight and nocturnal spaces. In a world where global warming brings us to reconsider our normal schedules and to invent new extensions of our lives, their installations propose a kind of third space, beyond day and night, seeking speculative realism.
