The art of 1930s America tells the story of a nation in flux. Artists responded to rapid social change and economic anxiety with some of the 20th century's most powerful art shown for the first time outside the US. 'American Gothic' (1930) by Grant Wood #americaafterthefall @royalacademyarts #royalacademyofarts #grantwood #americangothic (at Royal Academy of Arts)

But We Cannot See Them: Tracing a UAE Art Community, 1988-2008 With: Hassan Sharif, Mohamed Ahmed Ibrahim, Abdullah Al Saadi, Mohammed Kazem, Hussein Sharif, Vivek Vilasini, Jos Clevers, Ebtisam Abdulaziz --- This exhibition surveys one of the most important artistic communities in the UAE’s history. Community has played a key role in every modern art historical breakthrough, with artists banding together around manifestos, or turning to one another for support when art institutions rejected their innovations. Art communities grow out of critical and creative exchange among peers and mentors. But We Cannot See Them focuses on one community of artists, sometimes called “the five”, at an intersection of visual artists, writers, and filmmakers based in the UAE. Its members identified with a “new culture” of encouraging radical, formal and conceptual experimentation. Eventually, some of these artists founded the celebrated Flying House. In tandem with this exhibition, The NYUAD Art Gallery is publishing of a book of interviews with the artists. Together, the exhibition and book begin the process of tracing this pivotal artistic community in the key years of its formation. Founding Director and Chief Curator of the NYUAD Art Gallery, Maya Allison notes: “When I first met these artists and learned about the history of their community, it struck me that theirs shares a structural similarity with ‘independent’ art scenes that I’ve studied. Operating as an artistic community outside of formal art institutions allows artists a combination of freedom and support that can enable powerful creative innovation.” Extensive Catalogue contribution: Aisha Mazin Stoby (at New York University Abu Dhabi)

Robert Gober's sculptures are rife with meaning and reference, exploring sexuality, relationships, nature, politics, and religion. He meticulously handcrafts common household items, human body parts, and objects of devotion – from bags of cat litter to crucifixes and church pews – to emphasise the fragility of humankind. Through selective exaggerations and meaningful alterations, Gober mixes the real with the surreal in ways that disorient the viewer. #HMPrisonReading #ReadingPrison #artangel_ldn #RobertGober The exhibition ends on the 4th of December 2016.
