NIKA Project Space in the multi-gallery exhibition Déjà Vu by Alserkal, Dubai

Together with three of the artists—Mirna Bamieh, Christiane Peschek, and Adrian Pepe—our gallery is pleased to take part in Déjà Vu, a multi-gallery exhibition conceptualised by Alserkal, opening at Concrete on Saturday, 25 April.

Déjà Vu brings together artists represented by 20 of the UAE’s leading contemporary art galleries for a 14-day selling exhibition exploring the relationship between historical cycles, collective memory, and the present moment. The exhibition takes its premise from the cognitive phenomenon of déjà vu — that disorienting sense of familiarity in unfamiliar territory. As its curatorial text asks: we have been here before. Except we haven’t. Empires fall and revive; populations oscillate between consensus and polarisation; crises give way to depressions and booms. History does not simply repeat itself. It rhymes.

On view until May 8.
