Spring turns to summer in Dubai
Valerie Grove, Dubai
As the temperature goes up, Dubai winds down and the summer exodus begins. It is http://www.artdubai.ae/ a huge contrast to the frenzy of early spring when Art Dubai becomes the axis around which so much else revolves. It was March 18-22 so it already seems like a long time ago that the press releases were cut and pasted along with endless gushing about how fantastic it all was. Critical analysis has yet to find a home n Dubai!
Journalistic cynicisms aside, there were some real highlights. My personal favourite was Desperately Seeking Paradise, a group show of contemporary Pakistani art curated especially for Art Dubai's new Pakistan Pavilion. Huma Mulji?s suitcase installation addresses the lives of migrant labourers in Dubai. A suitcase of golden shoes and bread suggests the riches they seek but which they ultimately build for others. A suitcase of showers had a speaker in each shower head, one narrating dreams of employment in Dubai and the other narrating the drawbacks. Also on show were video installations of interviews projected onto cardboard boxes, disturbing clay figures laying face down in the flowerbeds and the interesting results of a photography workshop given by students of the American University of Dubai to twelve labourers.
