Ayyam Gallery Dubai (12, Alserkal Avenue) is pleased to present Castles Built from Sand will Fall, the solo exhibition of multidisciplinary artist Khaled Jarrar.
Over the last ten years, Jarrar has frequently addressed the subject of borders, particularly the elaborate system of checkpoints, fences, and walls that have split communities in his native Palestine. The title of the exhibition refers to the impermanent nature of politically imposed boundaries, which can always be redrawn or demolished.
Castles Built from Sand will Fall provides a condensed overview of Jarrar’s focus on this issue with a range of work in different media. Featuring installation, photography, video, sculpture, and art objects, the exhibition offers a look into the various strands of his creative practice. This curated selection also emphasises Jarrar’s use of diverse forms as artistic interventions that encourage viewers to rethink the intersections of life, politics, and visual culture.
