Abu Dhabi: The NYU Abu Dhabi (NYUAD) Art Gallery’s landmark exhibition is running until Sunday, June 12, making this the final days to visit Parthenogenesis: Ramin Haerizadeh, Rokni Haerizadeh, Hesam Rahmanian which includes several major new bodies of work and marks the artist trio’s first institutional exhibition in the UAE.

The exhibition’s public program will conclude with a public conversation with the artists, “A Continuity of Discontinuity” on Saturday, June 11 at 5:30pm. Ramin Haerizadeh, Rokni Haerizadeh, and Hesam Rahmanian enter into conversation with their collaborator, writer Nazli Ghassemi, whose work is included in the current exhibition Parthenogenesis. The talk will delve into the nature of collaboration and the origination of new works across their different disciplines and will be moderated by NYUAD’s Chief Curator, Maya Allison.

In conjunction with this exhibition, the artists selected a related film, Human Flow (directed by Ai Weiwei), to screen tonight, Wednesday, June 8 at 7pm, at The Arts Center at NYU Abu Dhabi. In the documentary, Human Flow, the viewer is taken to over 20 countries to understand both the scale and the personal impact of this massive human migration. Human Flow was screened in the main competition section of the 74th Venice International Film Festival.

Parthenogenesis: Ramin Haerizadeh, Rokni Haerizadeh, Hesam Rahmanian:

Ramin, Rokni, and Hesam, originally from Iran, have adopted the UAE as their home. They are known for their immersive, surreal projects, performances, paintings, and animations, which have exhibited internationally, at multiple biennials and major museums (including Liverpool, Sydney, and Toronto biennials, and Kunsthalle Zurich, ICA Boston, MACBA Barcelona, and a forthcoming project at the Hayward Gallery, London).

The trio create a landscape in the Gallery that allows visitors to trace how an artwork grows itself through an artist’s relationships with others. Parthenogenesis is a testament to the artists’ 13 years in Dubai living and working together, creating a landscape and tapestry of continuously evolving ideas and dialogues with collaborators, artists, and visitors to their home, and offering a deeper insight into their practice rooted in ideas of transformation, play, and collaboration.
