Ramin Haerizadeh, Rokni Haerizadeh and Hesam Rahmanian

• The Maids is a multipart show created in response to the city of Barcelona and
is the result of a two-year process described by the artists as “an assembling of
a collective body." As artists, collaboration is central to their practice and their
goal is to create more-equitable forms of artistic exchange by inviting different
creators to contribute freely and independently to ongoing works in progress.

• The stars are falling

• have lived and worked together in Dubai since 2009. They work independently
and together propagating a form of collaboration that doesn't suppress
individualism.
• From Sea to Dawn“ is an exhibition of performance traces: an ongoing work-
in-progress that spans video, paint, drawing, text, poetry, photographs, and

 Tomoko Takahashi
• Takahashi's preferred method for her artistic process, specifically for installation pieces, consists of her
inhabiting the space in which the art will be collected. She collects scraps and debris from the site, which
she often incorporates into the final product. While these scenes generally incite an idea of chaos,

 Joseph Cornell

• Habitat Group for a Shooting Gallery, 1943.

• Cornell's most characteristic art works were boxed assemblages created
from found objects. These are simple shadow boxes
, usually fronted with a glass pane, in which he arranged eclectic fragments
of photographs or
Victorian bric-a-brac, in a way that combines the formal austerity of
Constructivism with the lively fantasy of Surrealism.
