You are warmly invited to the launch party of our latest exhibition, Farah Al Qasimi’s ‘Abort, Retry, Fail’.

Based between New York and Abu Dhabi, Al Qasimi’s work captures glimpses of everyday life and the entangled relationship between material culture, colonial legacy and globalised societies.

Through photography and film she explores the natural world by entering fictional realities. We see gamers transported elsewhere – absorbed in fantasy realms of exploration, escapism and play. Interspersed amongst these images are photographs that capture overlooked moments of everyday life, where seemingly mundane places and objects converge in an attempt to reveal our estranged relationship to the natural world.

Free admission - all welcome!
