Suspended Accounts
Mosaic Rooms
Opening 15 January – 27 February 2016
This show exhibits a selection of work from the A.M. Qatar Foundation’s Young Artist of the Year Award 2014. It features works in film, performance, installation and painting all sharing the theme of ‘Suspended Accounts’. Three sub-themes are explored in the show – Invisible Narratives, Self-Historicisation and Imagination. The group show takes a reflecting look at each artist’s Palestinian identity, most of whom have been born and raised away from the land of their parents.

This is Sterling Ruby’s first solo show at the Rue de Ponthieu and Le Bourget galleries. The show features an eclectic array of poured-polyurethane sculptures, drawings, collages, richly glazed ceramics, spray paintings and videos. The work crosses the realms of minimalist and expressionist, solid and liquid; alluding to both mainstream and marginal rituals.

Maisons Fragiles
Hauser & Wirth
Opening 11 December 2015 – 6 February 2016
Drawing together the works of nine prominent artists, Maisons Fragiles explores themes of fragility, vulnerability and protection. The works on display span 60 years of artistic practice by artists such as Louise Bourgeois, Alexander Calder, Isa Gengken and Gordon Matta-Clarke, all sharing an innate attraction towards architecture and common preoccupation with materiality.
