In the evolving landscape of Dubai’s contemporary art scene, Dom Art Projects introduces a new programme that reflects on one of the most universal yet intangible concepts: time.

Located in the creative district of Al Quoz, the independent, female-founded institution continues to establish itself as a platform for experimentation and dialogue. This season, the programme unfolds across exhibitions, digital presentations, and artist residencies, bringing together both regional and international perspectives.

The initiative coincides with the gallery’s debut participation in Art Dubai 2026, held from May 15 to 17, 2026. There, it presents a digital-focused exhibition featuring artists such as Sofya Skidan and Michiko Tsuda. Through video, virtual reality, and NFT-based works, the presentation highlights the growing influence of digital media in shaping contemporary artistic expression.

Back at its Al Quoz space, exhibitions run from May 13 to September 13, 2026, expanding the programme into two parallel shows. The main group exhibition, Time That Grows Slowly, curated by Alexander Burenkov, explores the concept of “vegetal time”—a slower, organic rhythm inspired by plant life. Through installations and moving image works, artists including Maha Alasaker, Sulafa Mohammed, and Farah Soltani examine themes of growth, decay, and ecological interconnectedness.

Alongside it, a solo exhibition by Petr Kirusha offers a more urban perspective. Developed during his residency in Dubai, his work captures the city’s shifting landscape, translating light, atmosphere, and rapid transformation into painterly compositions.

Beyond exhibitions, the institution continues to support artistic development through residency programmes, offering artists the time and space to experiment and reflect. In a city often defined by speed, Dom Art Projects proposes an alternative rhythm—one that encourages audiences to slow down, observe, and engage more deeply with art.
