Wilted Time

Alserkal Avenue is a vibrant cultural district in the Al Quoz industrial area of Dubai, and is home to a community of over 70 contemporary art galleries, visual and performing arts organisations, designers, home-grown and entrepreneur-led businesses, and community spaces across 500,000 sqft and 90 warehouses. Alserkal Avenue provides an essential platform for the development of the creative industries in the United Arab Emirates. As one of the region’s foremost destinations for contemporary art, and home to Dubai’s risk-takers, makers and wide-ranging creative communities, Alserkal Avenue provides cultural experiences for local, regional and international audiences through its extensive year-round programming. Alserkal Avenue is home to Concrete, a multi-disciplinary exhibitions space conceptualised and programmed by Alserkal, as well as the artist residency program of Alserkal’s non-profit, Alserkal Arts Foundation. Alserkal Avenue was established in 2008 by Alserkal following the visionary thinking of its founder, Emirati businessman and cultural patron Abdelmonem Bin Eisa Alserkal, who sought to cultivate a vibrant creative community and support cultural production in Dubai.

Not Now turns its attention to challenging received readings of flowers with a performance at Amè Artistic Studio.

Âme Artistic Studio

<p>Further to our ‘re-reading’ of unflinching narratives around food in ‘Recipes of Memory,’ Not Now turns its attention to challenging received readings of flowers. Taking the glass house (or greenhouse in which plants and flowers are coaxed to grow) as its departure point, this performance in an actual floral studio (itself a glass house) begins with a screening of the animated film The Derangement (2021). For twenty-six minutes, expect to experience a bouquet of sensations—boredom, fascination, the comfort of ritual, the unease of decay. As time is slowed down and gestures stretch into the durational, you become both witnesses and accomplices in this intensified realm where the common becomes strange, and everything intensifies.</p>
