NIKA Project Space Opens in Dubai with Group Show on Time
NIKA Project Space, a new art platform in Dubai's Al Quoz district, launches with its inaugural exhibition 'Fragments of Time Unending,' curated by Sarah Daher. The show runs through April 23, 2023, featuring six artists: Olga Chernysheva, Nika Neelova, Adrian Pepe, Muhannad Shono, and Alexander Ugay. The exhibition explores time as both constant and subjective through painting, sculpture, photography, and digital media. Works include Shono's ink-on-paper 'I'm Sorry from Above' (2016), Ugay's 'Obscurations' (2018) installation series, Chernysheva's oil painting 'Flowers Riot' (2022), and Neelova's reclaimed mahogany handrails.
