Elementa Gallery, Dubai
“Be Lost in the Call,” Idris Khan, Elementa Gallery, 15th March – 25th April
Elementa is proud to present for the first time in Dubai this much anticipated solo exhibition by the British artist Idris Khan, who will be showcasing a series of mostly new works. His works deal with a play of appropriation with more characteristics in common with painting and drawing rather than photography. While Khan must have his own personal relationship to his sources, his images lead us to muse on high culture in general, and our own relationship to it.
For his show at Elementa, Idris will be presenting new photographs based on music scores, books and Sufi text. He will also debut a single screen version of his recent film “Lying in Wait” in collaboration with British contemporary choreographer and dancer Sarah Warsop.
