With news of Art Dubai postponed and reformatted due to the coronavirus crisis and Sharjah Art Foundation's March Meeting no longer taking place this month, the art season is off to a wobbly start.
In Abu Dhabi, Warehouse 421 has suspended its public programmes and NYU Abu Dhabi has announced a temporary shutdown of its public art spaces, including its art centre, art gallery and the auxiliary project space. The closures at the university are in line with the Ministry of Education's instructions for a four-week closure of schools and universities as a precautionary measure against Covid-19. NYU Abu Dhabi's art spaces are scheduled to reopen after Saturday, April 4.
However, there are still shows and exhibitions to see, including Michael Rakowitz's first solo show in the region at Jameel Arts Centre; an exhibition on Mohamed Melehi at the Casablanca Art School at Concrete in Alserkal Avenue; and Sharjah Art Foundation's major exhibition curated by Omar Kholeif titled Art in the Age of Anxiety, which looks at the impact of digital technology on society.
Galleries Day in Alserkal Avenue will also go ahead on Monday, March 23.
Sikka Art Festival - postponed (moved to October)
Sikka Art Festival has been postponed to coincide with Expo Dubai 2020. The tenth edition was due to take place from March 19 to 29, but will now be moved to October. On its social media channels, Dubai Culture made no mention of Covid-19 concerns as the reason for the rescheduling. New dates have not been announced.
Art Dubai - postponed (but Dubai-focused programme still running)
The 14th Art Dubai, which takes place from Wednesday to Saturday, March 25 to 28, has been reformatted to only include local exhibitions, such as Campus Art Dubai, and talks for the Global Art Forum. International galleries will no longer be flying in to showcase works. Highlighting Africa, the Residents programme will go ahead with commissioned works by six invited African artists who arrived in Dubai in February.
"We have made the decision to stage a programme tailored to the local cultural community instead, including existing fair programme contributors and thought-leaders," organisers said, adding that "the goals and ambitions for this re-configured programme maintain our objective to deliver commercial, institutional and critical engagement with Dubai’s art ecosystem – a commitment of support to our local community that we felt an imperative to uphold."
Art Dubai says further details of the new "Dubai-focused" programme will be announced soon.

Galleries Night DIFC - cancelled
Galleries Night in DIFC, scheduled for March 23 and 24 has been cancelled, according to staff at Cuadro Fine Art Gallery and Opera Gallery, which are located in the financial district. The galleries will still open their shows to the public and follow their regular timings.
March Meeting - postponed (new date unknown)
Sharjah Art Foundation's annual March Meeting will not take place this month. Initially scheduled for March 21 to 23, the event has been postponed "until further notice", according to the foundation. March Meeting typically hosts panel discussions with artists, curators and cultural practitioners from around the world to examine critical issues in contemporary art.
In a statement, the organisers said: "We have been closely monitoring the evolving situation regarding the new coronavirus with the health and well-being of our community and collaborators in mind. Following the guidelines of health officials, including a recommendation by UAE authorities to avoid large gatherings, we are acting out of caution to postpone the upcoming March Meeting... until further notice."
Sharjah Art Foundation's exhibition spaces will remain open and follow regular timings, including the upcoming show Art in the Age of Anxiety.
Exhibitions
Michael Rakowitz
In one of the biggest highlights of the season, Jameel Arts Centre will present a major survey exhibition of Michael Rakowitz. The renowned Iraqi-American artist is known for his large-scale installations that address the complex histories and politics of the Middle East.
The exhibition will mark Rakowitz’s first solo show in Asia and the Middle East, and an artist talk will place on Saturday, March 14, during which Rakowitz will discuss cultural influences on his work with Shumon Basar.
Wednesday, March 11 to Saturday, August 8; Jameel Arts Centre, Dubai; www.jameelartscentre.org
New Waves: Mohamed Melehi and the Casablanca Art School
From 1964 to 1974, Mohamed Melehi and a group of artists spearheaded a radical movement that influenced arts education in Morocco, encouraging students to look beyond western art history and focus on local art production. New Waves tells the story of the Casablanca Art School, the group's moniker, and traces Melehi's career through paintings and archival photography. It will reveal the artist's crucial role in developing postcolonial Moroccan art and Arab Modernist art.
Curated by Morad Montazami and Madeleine de Colnet, the show will present previously unseen works from Melehi, including a collection of his documentary photography from 30 years of travel. Works by Farid Belkahia, Mohamed Chaba and Hossein Miloudi will also be on display.
Monday, March 23 to Saturday, April 4; Concrete, Alserkal Avenue, Dubai; www.alserkalavenue.ae
Art in the Age of Anxiety
Featuring more than 30 artists, this exhibition considers how the internet and the rise of digital technology have affected our lives. Confronting critical issues such as digital surveillance, privacy, data mining, artificial intelligence and social media, the exhibition will feature more than 60 works across various mediums including sculpture, print, video, virtual reality and algorithmic programmes. Participating artists include those who have been tackling these issues in their practice for years – Trevor Paglen, Cao Fei, Guan Xiao, Cory Arcangel, Jeremy Bailey, Jon Rafman and Lawrence Abu Hamdan, to name a few.
Curated by Omar Kholeif, the exhibition will be designed like a maze, which visitors will have to learn how to navigate to see the works. Kholeif has been researching the subject for more than a decade, and, in a statement, has described Art in the Age of Anxiety as “an exhibition that grew out of my own anxiety about the future”.
Saturday, March 21 to Sunday, June 21; Sharjah Art Foundation; www.sharjahart.org
Maryam Hoseini: Solo Exhibition
In Maryam Hoseini's paintings, fragmented bodies appear scattered in strange landscapes, evoking violence and tension in their semi-abstracted forms. The artist, who was born in Tehran, examines the relationship between the human body to physical space as she distorts perspective and scale in these flat compositions.
Now based in New York, Hoseini embeds personal experiences in her work while allowing viewers to project several interpretations on to her canvases. Though she considers her subjects as female nudes, their deconstructed anatomical shapes often obscure that fact and instead present a critique of the censorship of the female figure in various cultural contexts.
From Monday, March 23; Green Art Gallery, Dubai; www.gagallery.com
Byzantine Journeys
Visual elements from Byzantine and medieval tapestries are rendered with a modern eye in Timur D'Vatz's figurative works. The artist, who studied at London's Royal Academy of Arts, borrows inspiration from ancient legends and myths to paint the subjects in his canvas. There are also elements linked to textile art, specifically Chinese silk printing and the patterns from the Nabis school, a movement that influenced the transition from Impressionism to Abstract art.
D’Vatz’s interest in melding East and West comes from his upbringing. Raised in Tashkent, he was always aware of the historical significance and legends of the Silk Road.

Plastic - Updates on Tashkeel programmes
Though Tashkeel has suspended its Spring Camp and Afterschool Arts Club for children on Thursday, March 5, its exhibitions, adult workshops and talks will continue as normal.
Their latest group show is dedicated to a man-made material that has transformed our lives in many ways: plastic. Can we consider sustainability in the face of mass production and consumption? What awaits future generations?
Featuring more than 30 artists from the UAE, the show explores the social, economic and cultural dimensions of the issue, while proposing alternative solutions. A series of workshops and seminars on the topic will accompany the exhibition.
Tuesday, March 3 to Saturday, April 14; Tashkeel Studio and Gallery, Dubai; www.tashkeel.org
Homebound: A Journey in Photography
This is the first of a two-part exhibition curated by Salah M Hassan and Aida Muluneh, with associate curator Sataan Al Hassan. It chronicles Muluneh’s progress as an artist and photojournalist, showcasing images that explore issues of identity and race.
Muluneh was born in Ethiopia in 1974, and spent her childhood between Yemen and England.
She has also studied and lived in Cyprus, the US and Canada. In her art, she often paints her subjects in various colours and creates symbolic visuals that blend the surreal with the fantastical.

The Cup and The Saucer - Opening receptions cancelled
Warehouse 421 has suspended its opening receptions, public programmes and events for the month of March. The exhibition The Cup and The Saucer by Hashel Al Lamki will still open to the public on Saturday, March 7, but without a reception.
"The decision comes after careful consideration of our responsibility to our community and is in line with the local precautionary measures being taken to halt the spread of the Covid-19 virus," the organisation said in a statement on their website.
Al Lamki's first solo exhibition explores the concept of unity, separation and individualism. What happens when you remove the individual from its collective unit?
Using the imagery of a cup being lifted from the saucer as a metaphor for separation, the artist considers the importance of individualism as a condition for change.
Curated by Munira Al Sayegh, who has also put together this year's Gulf Now at Art Dubai, the exhibition will showcase works made from a variety of mediums, including an installation comprised of 52 paintings. There will also be sculptures, video and a sound piece. Artist and curator have collaborated closely on the show, which has been two years in the making.

UAE currency: the story behind the money in your pockets
How to become a Boglehead
Bogleheads follow simple investing philosophies to build their wealth and live better lives. Just follow these steps.
• Spend less than you earn and save the rest. You can do this by earning more, or being frugal. Better still, do both.
• Invest early, invest often. It takes time to grow your wealth on the stock market. The sooner you begin, the better.
• Choose the right level of risk. Don't gamble by investing in get-rich-quick schemes or high-risk plays. Don't play it too safe, either, by leaving long-term savings in cash.
• Diversify. Do not keep all your eggs in one basket. Spread your money between different companies, sectors, markets and asset classes such as bonds and property.
• Keep charges low. The biggest drag on investment performance is all the charges you pay to advisers and active fund managers.
• Keep it simple. Complexity is your enemy. You can build a balanced, diversified portfolio with just a handful of ETFs.
• Forget timing the market. Nobody knows where share prices will go next, so don't try to second-guess them.
• Stick with it. Do not sell up in a market crash. Use the opportunity to invest more at the lower price.
Spain drain
CONVICTED
Lionel Messi Found guilty in 2016 of of using companies in Belize, Britain, Switzerland and Uruguay to avoid paying €4.1m in taxes on income earned from image rights. Sentenced to 21 months in jail and fined more than €2m. But prison sentence has since been replaced by another fine of €252,000.
Javier Mascherano Accepted one-year suspended sentence in January 2016 for tax fraud after found guilty of failing to pay €1.5m in taxes for 2011 and 2012. Unlike Messi he avoided trial by admitting to tax evasion.
Angel di Maria Argentina and Paris Saint-Germain star Angel di Maria was fined and given a 16-month prison sentence for tax fraud during his time at Real Madrid. But he is unlikely to go to prison as is normal in Spain for first offences for non-violent crimes carrying sentence of less than two years.
SUSPECTED
Cristiano Ronaldo Real Madrid's star striker, accused of evading €14.7m in taxes, appears in court on Monday. Portuguese star faces four charges of fraud through offshore companies.
Jose Mourinho Manchester United manager accused of evading €3.3m in tax in 2011 and 2012, during time in charge at Real Madrid. But Gestifute, which represents him, says he has already settled matter with Spanish tax authorities.
Samuel Eto'o In November 2016, Spanish prosecutors sought jail sentence of 10 years and fines totalling €18m for Cameroonian, accused of failing to pay €3.9m in taxes during time at Barcelona from 2004 to 2009.
Radamel Falcao Colombian striker Falcao suspected of failing to correctly declare €7.4m of income earned from image rights between 2012 and 2013 while at Atletico Madrid. He has since paid €8.2m to Spanish tax authorities, a sum that includes interest on the original amount.
Jorge Mendes Portuguese super-agent put under official investigation last month by Spanish court investigating alleged tax evasion by Falcao, a client of his. He defended himself, telling closed-door hearing he "never" advised players in tax matters.
