Dubai, UAE,14 April 2026: Alserkal has announced Alserkal Art Month, a collective expression of the resilience of the arts ecosystem in the UAE and the wider region that will run from 18 April to 18 May. Alserkal is joined by artists, cultural practitioners, and multidisciplinary collectives from across the region, as it expands its Art Week into a month-long initiative, Alserkal is joined by artists, cultural practitioners, and multidisciplinary collectives from across the region, as it expands its Art Week into a month-long initiative, providing a platform that will help sustain cultural engagement and create opportunities for dialogue, cultural enquiry and connection amongst the city’s creative community during this challenging time. The programme, which will span five weekends, will begin on 18 April as Alserkal Avenue’s contemporary art galleries preview their exhibitions as originally planned. The closing week, which will take place from 14-17 May, during Art Dubai 2026, will feature art commissions in partnership with the fair.
The month’s evolving programme is inspired by Shilpa Gupta’s work “Still They Know Not What I Dream”, which was commissioned by Alserkal Arts Foundation and supported by Ishara Art Foundation, and installed in The Yard in Alserkal Avenue, as part of Between a Beach and a Slope (2025), a series of public art commissions curated by Fatoș Ütsek. For Alserkal Art Month, the artist has created a new iteration of the work titled “Still A Sky We Hold” — a premise that underpins the entire month’s programme.  

Art Month will take place in Alserkal Avenue, offering audiences the opportunity to engage with new exhibitions in the cultural district’s conteorary art galleries, public art commissions and interventions, a collaborative commercial exhibition in Concrete, Majlis Talks, space takeovers, and workshops, alongside open studios, performances and reading groups hosted by Alserkal Arts Foundation.
Déjà Vu--a curated group exhibition featuring artists represented by 18 of the UAE’s leading contemporary art galleries—is a collective initiative between the UAE’s contemporary art galleries and Alserkal to present a commercial exhibition at the heart of its cultural district, Alserkal Avenue, during this challenging and uncertain time. The exhibition, which is curated by a three-person committee (Kevin Jones - Director of Strategy at Alserkal, Nada Raza - Director of Alserkal Arts Foundation and Zaina Zaarour - Curator & Manager of Programmes at Alserkal Avenue) in consultation with participating galleries, will open on 25 April. Inspired by the absurdity of repetitious acts, Déjà vu will examine the uncanny sense of days re-visited and re-lived and the existential strain of perpetual recurrence. The show will be complemented by a Majlis Talks programme curated by Nadine Khalil.
Alserkal Arts Foundation’s focus over the past six weeks has been on supporting artists, researchers and practitioners based in the UAE who have encountered practical challenges to continuing with practices. The Foundation’s support has manifested as studio takeovers as well as support for continued participatory programming. During Alserkal Art Month, the Foundation will host reading groups by artist Chafa Ghaddar, open studios with Alla Abdunabi and Maryam Ahli, and a performance by Asareh Ebrahimpour. The Foundation has also established a fund to help facilitate the completion of research-led projects; grants of up to AED 10,000 will be made available to practitioners within the Foundation’s network.
On 16 May, Alserkal Advisory, which consults with public and private entities on their cultural engagement policies, will bring key stakeholders and institutions across the UAE together for a round table to understand and delineate ways in which arts institutions can create impact among communities.
Multidisciplinary collectives who were selected to join the cultural district’s Blank Space initiative will also be part of Art Month. The initiative was launched at the end of March to support collaboration and public engagement amongst emerging creatives in the fields of design, craft, music and visual arts.
The month’s closing weekend programme (12-17 May) will feature “Moving”, a four-day programme of moving image works that marks the second year of the cultural district’s partnership with Art Dubai. The jointly curated programme features continuous-sequence screenings located on the screens in The Yard in Alserkal Avenue and on site at the fair in Madinat Jumeirah.

Speaking about Alserkal Art Month, Vilma Jurkute, Executive Director of Alserkal, said: “For almost 20 years, Alserkal has helped shape the region’s cultural landscape into the vibrant scene it is today and it remains committed to openness and partnership, supporting an ecosystem that continues to adapt, evolve and endure. Alserkal Art Month is a tribute to the resilience and fortitude of the UAE’s arts ecosystem, and to the people who sustain it. Rooted in shared values, this month-long programme creates space for collaboration, dialogue and exchange at a time when that feels especially important.”

Basmah El Bittar, Director of Alserkal Avenue, said: “Over the course of Alserkal Art Month, we will see 16 gallery exhibitions, 6 warehouse takeovers and a rich and diverse series of programmes brought to life in the Avenue. We are proud of the rigour and care that has gone into this programme, and of how our community has come together and continued to produce ambitious work.”

The 16th edition of the Malmö Arab Film Festival officially opened on Friday, 10 April, in a vibrant celebratory atmosphere marked by strong public and official attendance, reaffirming the festival’s position as the leading platform for Arab cinema outside Arab region.
The opening evening began with the red carpet at the Royal Cinema, welcoming filmmakers, artists, and media representatives, with notable engagement from the audience. The official ceremony followed, opening with a welcome speech by the Mayor of Malmö, Katrin Stjernfeldt Jammeh, who emphasized the festival’s important role in promoting cultural dialogue and artistic diversity in the city.
The Founder – Executive Chairman, Mouhamad Keblawi, then officially declared the 16th edition open, highlighting the festival’s ongoing commitment to supporting Arab cinema and fostering collaboration with European filmmakers.
During the ceremony, Saudi filmmaker Abdullah Al-Muheisen was honored in recognition of his pioneering career and his significant contributions to the foundation of Saudi and Gulf cinema, receiving warm appreciation from the audience.

 The evening culminated with the screening of the opening film “The President’s Cake” by Iraqi director Hasan Hadi, a co-production between Iraq, the United States, and Qatar. The film was warmly received by the audience for its compelling human story and distinctive visual approach.
The first day concluded with an official reception at Malmö City Hall, hosted by Carina Nilsson, Chair of the Malmö City Council, attended by festival guests, filmmakers, and representatives from cultural and media sectors, in an atmosphere reflecting collaboration and cultural exchange.
The festival continues until 16 April with a rich program featuring 39 films from across the Arab world, alongside the Malmö Industry Days, which serve as an important platform for supporting new projects and strengthening international partnerships.
Through this successful opening, the Malmö Arab Film Festival reaffirms its role as a cultural bridge between the Arab world and north Europe, and as a key platform for showcasing contemporary Arab cinema.

Dubai, United Arab Emirates, 02 April 2026: Alserkal Avenue has launched Blank Space, an initiative launched to support up to three collectives living and working in the UAE, opening up dialogue and making space for creative expression and collaboration. During this time of uncertainty,
the initiative provides creative practitioners with temporary space, resources and visibility, as well as the ability to grow their practice through peer and audience engagement.


Known for its support for artists and cultural practitioners, Alserkal Avenue has consistently provided artists with warehouse space in challenging times, allowing for their work and projects to continue.
With Blank Space, the Avenue continues to champion emerging voices in the creative fields of design, craft, music and visual arts, and strengthen the creative ecosystem from within.


Basmah El Bittar, Director of Alserkal Avenue, said: “Blank Space came about as a response to the
pressures that emerging creatives in the UAE are experiencing. The initiative is designed to
encourage creative practitioners from different disciplines to come together and benefit from being
part of an established creative infrastructure without the financial pressure of a physical space.”


Applications for Blank Space should be submitted before 12PM on 10 April via [email protected] with the subject line “Blank Space Proposal – [name of collective]”. Proposals must be no more than 10 slide.

Malmö Arab Film Festival (MAFF) is the largest and most influential festival dedicated to Arab cinema in Europe. Founded in 2011, the festival serves as a vital platform for Arab filmmakers to showcase their work, engage in cross-cultural dialogue, and connect with international industry professionals. MAFF offers a diverse program of film screenings, industry initiatives, and networking opportunities, fostering collaboration between the Arab and Nordic film industries.

As part of Art Basel Hong Kong 2026, Louis Vuitton is celebrating its more than two decades of collaboration with Frank Gehry with a retrospective booth. From visionary architecture to limited-edition handbags, perfume bottles and timepieces, his creations reflect an unmistakable marriage of innovation and savoir-faire.

As a show partner of Art Basel Hong Kong, the Maison presents a chronologically curated production in eight chapters that highlights Gehry's most influential works as well as his contributions to the Louis Vuitton universe. Maquettes and works on display provide insights into his creative process and impressively highlight the enduring radiance of his work.

The partnership between LVMH and the award-winning architect began back in 2001 with the conception of the Fondation Louis Vuitton, which opened in 2014 as an iconic glass building that reinterprets transparency, light and volume. In the same year, Gehry designed the "Twisted Box" bag for Louis Vuitton's 160th anniversary. This was followed by the Louis Vuitton Maison Seoul (2019), whose curved glass façade is inspired by both the Fondation and traditional Korean architecture. Other projects include the reinterpretation of the Louis Vuitton Trunk on the occasion of the 200th anniversary, as well as the Murano glass "Blossom" stoppers for Les Extraits Parfums. In addition, Gehry's "Monogram Studies" testify to his exploration of the Maison's iconic canvas and led to the development of new symbolic elements within the collaboration.

A key highlight is the Louis Vuitton x Frank Gehry Handbag Collection, which debuted at Art Basel Miami Beach in 2023. The models – including the iconic Capucines, Twisted Boxes and the Bear With Us Clutch – translate central themes of his oeuvre into design: architecture and form, materiality and animal motifs. Innovative details and exceptional materials take the Maison's craftsmanship to new frontiers.

The presentation is complemented by the Tambour watch (2024), which combines the watchmaking art of La Fabrique du Temps Louis Vuitton with sculptural elements and transfers Gehry's architectural signature into the dimension of time.

Louis Vuitton will be at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre (Management) Limited Centre from 27 to 29 March 2026.

​Louis Vuitton reveals Arts & Culture Program Spring 2026 around the world 


Louis Vuitton has revealed its Arts & Culture Program Spring 2026, a window to the world of arts and culture. Spanning cities and disciplines worldwide, the Maison presents renowned artists and major exhibitions worldwide, inviting audiences to share a dialogue shaped by creativity and exchanges.   


At the 2026 edition of Art Basel Hong Kong, Louis Vuitton celebrates renowned architect Frank Gehry, featuring over two decades of partnership with the Maison. From his audacious architectural projects to his Louis Vuitton x Frank Gehry limited edition handbag collection, as well as his collaborations for timepieces or perfume bottles and stoppers, Frank Gehry’s creations attest to a singular vision of innovation and savoir-faire that transcends time. 
Marking the 20th anniversary of the Espaces Louis Vuitton and the 10th anniversary of the Fondation Louis Vuitton’s Hors-les-murs program – which showcases works from the Fondation’s Collection across the world – the Espace Louis Vuitton Osaka opened the Paintings and Banality exhibition on February 15, 2026, devoted to the work of American artist Jeff Koons. The retrospective traces his practice from his early iconic series in the 1980s to recent monumental paintings. At the same time, from March 19 to September 13, 2026, the @Espace Louis Vuitton Tokyo presents the exhibition "You made me leave home...” devoted to the work of South Asian diaspora artist Rina Banerjee, who transforms an array of found objects, textiles and feathers into mystical female sculptures and complex phantasmagorical installations.  

Menorca
 
Directionless
Hauser & Wirth Menorca
21 June – 25 October 2026
 
Opening this summer, ‘Directionless’ is a sweeping group exhibition organised by artist Rashid Johnson. The project begins with the premise that we are living in a moment of profound disorientation. This is a time when inherited narratives, stable identities and the systems that once structured social and aesthetic life feel increasingly insufficient. Rather than offering resolution, the exhibition asks how artists productively inhabit this uncertainty—how they develop new vocabularies and provisional orientations when established coordinates fail.
 
To build a sense of indeterminacy and openness into the exhibition’s very structure, Johnson has invited Charles Gaines, Firelei Báez and Cristina Iglesias to each nominate artists from outside the gallery’s roster alongside his own selections. This artist-driven, polyphonic approach refuses singular narratives, instead proposing that creative practice itself might be a form of orientation-making in an illegible present.
 
The developing artist list includes: Firelei Báez, Yto Barrada, Georg Baselitz, Claire Chambless, Ali Cherri, Teresita Fernández, Charles Gaines, Todd Gray, Alteronce Gumby, Mona Hatoum, Hugh Hayden, Hanna Hur, Cristina Iglesias, Rashid Johnson, Michael Joo, Sigalit Landau, Hannah Levy, Joiri Minaya, Julie Mehretu and Rayanne Tabet.

Martin Creed
Hauser & Wirth Menorca
25 April – 7 June 2026
 
This spring, Hauser & Wirth Menorca opens for a new season with a special presentation by Martin Creed. The exhibition brings together Creed’s ‘Work No. 3891: Half the air in a given space’ and a selection of wall paintings.
 
‘Half the air in a given space’ is one of Creed’s most celebrated works. First conceived in 1998 and subsequently created around the world, it involves a multitude of balloons which contain half of the air in a room. Acting as a tangible measure of the air, this playful inversion of art and space invites visitors to enter and change the work’s shape and volume themselves. It is a sculpture which takes the shape of the space between people and things, joining them together in a shared environment.
 
Hong Kong
Frank Bowling
Hauser & Wirth Hong Kong
11 June – 29 August 2026
 
Opening in June in Hong Kong, Hauser & Wirth will present Bowling’s first solo exhibition in Asia, bringing together a selection of historical and recent works that showcase Bowling’s mastery of surface texture. 
 
Sir Frank Bowling OBE RA is widely regarded one of Britain’s most significant living artists. For over six decades, Bowling has relentlessly pursued a practice which boldly expands the possibilities and properties of paint. Ambitious in scale and scope, his dynamic engagement with the materiality of his chosen medium, and its evolution in the broad sweep of art history, has resulted in paintings of unparalleled originality and power. Bowling was elected a Royal Academician in 2005, appointed Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) in 2008 and knighted in 2020 for his services to art. His works are held in major museum collections worldwide, including Tate, The Museum of Modern Art and The Metropolitan Museum of Art.
 
Lucio Fontana: Spatialism. Pioneering the Contemporary 
An exhibition curated by Luca Massimo Barbero and Fondazione Lucio Fontana
Hauser & Wirth Hong Kong
17 September – 19 December 2026 
 
Breaking the boundaries between painting and sculpture, Lucio Fontana (1899 – 1968) transformed the canvas into a dynamic area of light, gesture and movement. His slashed and punctured surfaces, central to the Spatialism movement he founded, fundamentally redefined the relationship between artwork and space. Through an innovative aesthetic, his visionary practice paved the way for postwar contemporary art and continues to inspire artists around the world. In September 2026, Hauser & Wirth Hong Kong will present seminal works from 1949 onward, focusing on the revolutionary ‘Buchi’ (Holes) and ‘Tagli’ (Cuts), tracing the evolution of Spatialism and Fontana’s radical exploration of the canvas as a site of infinite possibility.
 
The Hong Kong exhibition marks the final chapter of a trilogy realized in collaboration with Fondazione Lucio Fontana, following presentations in Los Angeles (2020) and New York (2023). A major new publication on Fontana is forthcoming from Hauser & Wirth Publishers. Published on the occasion of the exhibition, this volume marks the first widely available introduction to the artist’s practice in Mandarin, offering Chinese audiences a comprehensive account of his groundbreaking career spanning 1920s to late 1960s, alongside specifically translated writings by the artist. 
 
Hauser & Wirth Publishers
 
Accompanying gallery exhibitions, new titles by Hauser & Wirth Publishers include: ‘Destiny Is a Rose: Art from the Eileen Harris Norton Collection,’ in conjunction with the show of the same name at Downtown Los Angeles; ‘Roni Horn: Seizure of Hope,’ tied to her London show; ‘Zhang Enli,’ on the occasion of his forthcoming show at West Hollywood; ‘Angel Otero,’ released during the artist’s Somerset show; and ‘Lucio Fonatana,’ coinciding with his autumn Hong Kong show.
 
Spotlighting key modern masters are: ‘Life with P.: Journals, 1966–1976,’ an intimate account of Musa McKim’s life with painter Philip Guston, and ‘Hans/Jean Arp: Works with and on Paper.’
 
The next In the Studio release focuses on Louise Bourgeois, with a text by Justin Paton. This follows on from a title dedicated to Takesada Matsutani. Other artists in the collection include Phyllida Barlow, Jack Whitten and Lee Lozano.
 
Outside the gallery programme, ‘The Forgotten Her Story’ tells the story of nine of the most remarkable creative women of our time through intimate conversations, with a preface by Manuela Wirth.
