Between the Tides: A Gulf Quinquennial delves into the evolving artistic landscape of the GCC
It’s party time at The NYU Abu Dhabi Art Gallery as it celebrates its 10th anniversary this fall with the opening of Between the Tides: A Gulf Quinquennial.
This is the first of an ongoing series of exhibitions held every five years that surveys artistic voices from across the GCC.
The opening reception will take place on Tuesday, 1 October 2024 at 6 pm at the NYUAD Art Gallery.
Between the Tides: A Gulf Quinquennial delves into the evolving artistic landscape of the GCC, featuring 21 artists and collectives from across the region, including the UAE, Oman, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain, and Saudi Arabia.
Set to recur every five years, it showcases works across the fields of visual arts, architecture, and design, featuring painting, video, installation, and sculpture.
Rather than a comprehensive survey, this exhibition reflects on significant moments within the field of visual production from the last five years

On view until 17 September is still Entwined by Susan Doe. In this series of paintings, sculptures, and installations, artist Susan Doe plays with illusions of materiality, making metal threads appear soft and weaving paper to mimic large solid sculptures.
Reflecting on her Chinese American background, the artist blends together disparate elements to create something unexpected.
