Check out the two new exhibitions at The Art Gallery and Project Space at NYUAD this spring
When is an exhibition complete?
The NYU Abu Dhabi (NYUAD) Art Gallery is bringing you answers and questions with their latest spring exhibition. Titled In Real Time, the exhibition opens on 22 February and will run until 9 June.
Curated by Chief Curator Maya Allison, the exhibition tests one of the limits of the curatorial form: when is an exhibition complete? What happens when we allow an exhibition to grow and change at its own pace?
Uncovering the same, Allison will allow the list of artists for In Real Time to continue to grow after the exhibition opens, along with the artworks themselves.
Some of the artists include Moza Almatrooshi, Rana Begum, Chafa Ghaddar, Gözde İlkin, Sol Lewitt, Cristiana de Marchi, Ramin Haerizadeh, Rokni Haerizadeh and Hesam Rahmanian, and Haleh Redjaian, among others. Follow them on Instagram account to check out artists and artwork developments in real time during its run.

Titled The Narrow Path: Glossolalia in Public, the exhibition will open on 15 February. This solo project by NYUAD Assistant Arts Professor of Live Art Chinasa Ezugha will run all the way until 6 March.
It features a performance film titled The Narrow Path, the second in a series of three performance projects by the artist in which the act of “glossolalia”—speaking in tongues—can be seen as a ceremonial performance. In the exhibition, the artist seeks to explore the question: “To what extent does our understanding of glossolalia change according to the context of public aesthetics?”
