The Third Line is pleased to present ‘From the Perspective of Language,’ Sara Naim’s (@saranaim__) fourth solo exhibition at the gallery. Please join us for the opening reception!

🕑Opening Reception: 7-10 pm on Wednesday, 4 March 2026
📣Artist Talk at 8:30 pm with Nadine Khalil (@nadine_a_khalil).

On view from 4 March until 7 April 2026
📍The Third Line, Dubai, UAE

The exhibition marks the artist’s first public presentation of paintings. Produced intermittently between 2023 and 2026, the large-scale works move between figuration and abstraction to examine boundaries and the limits of representation through arrangements of symbolically charged imagery. The exhibition is accompanied by a new video performance, ‘Mother Practices Her Tongue’ (2026), which abstracts the Arabic language into gestures and sounds that no longer produce coherent meaning. Together, the paintings and video extend Naim’s ongoing investigation into how meaning is constructed through inherited systems such as language, symbols, and ideology.

The artist talk will explore Naim’s multidisciplinary practice in relation to the new body of work created for the exhibition.

#OpeningSoon Farah Al Qasimi’s (@frequentlyaskedquestion) film, Um Al Dhabaab (Mother of Fog) (2022), will be featured in ‘FERTILE RESISTANCE: KADIST Collection-in-Residence,’ a summer-long program of film and video screenings launching KADIST’s (@kadistkadist) three-year collection-in-residence collaboration with the Institute for Contemporary Art at Virginia Commonwealth University (@icavcu).

On view from 5 June - 16 August 2026
📍KADIST, Paris, France

Six films drawn from KADIST’s collection travel across Chile, Whiskey’s Country (Aboriginal land), California, Asia‘s modern-day trade hubs, Ukraine, and Guatemala — weaving together meditations on memory, belonging, and resistance with critical explorations of labor politics, colonization, and the social and ecological afterlives of war. Lush, immersive, and formally profound, the works move through vanishing and reemerging landscapes, tracing the enduring power of artistic and civil resistance to remake the world.

Joana Hadjithomas & Khalil Joreige (@studiohadjithomasjoreige) currently #OnView in ‘Shifting Crossroads | Beirut Contemporary,’ a group exhibition presented by Saikalis Bay Foundation (@saikalis_bay_foundation) at CIRCOLO (@circolo.art).

On view until 3 July 2026
📍CIRCOLO, Milan, Italy

‘Shifting Crossroads | Beirut Contemporary’ brings together ten artists whose practices explore Beirut as a living crossroads of the Mediterranean—a place where histories are layered, borders shift, and memory, politics, and personal histories remain alive. The exhibition spans works on paper, banners, porcelain sculpture, photography, and video, tracing connections from the late Ottoman period to the present.

Joana Hadjithomas & Khalil Joreige (@studiohadjithomasjoreige) currently #OnView in ‘Shifting Crossroads | Beirut Contemporary,’ a group exhibition presented by Saikalis Bay Foundation (@saikalis_bay_foundation) at CIRCOLO (@circolo.art).

On view until 3 July 2026
📍CIRCOLO, Milan, Italy

‘Shifting Crossroads | Beirut Contemporary’ brings together ten artists whose practices explore Beirut as a living crossroads of the Mediterranean—a place where histories are layered, borders shift, and memory, politics, and personal histories remain alive. The exhibition spans works on paper, banners, porcelain sculpture, photography, and video, tracing connections from the late Ottoman period to the present.

Lamya Gargash (@lamya_gargash) participates in ‘Space Enter Shift,’ the third edition of Asian Avant-Garde Film Festival (@aagff.mplus), with a large-scale presentation commissioned by M+ (@mplusmuseum)and developed with sound artist Vivian Wang (@wang_can_hang).

On view from 29 - 31 May 2026
📍M+ Moving Image Centre, Hong Kong

Lamya Gargash × Vivian Wang: Tracking Nomadism (2026) is a stunning large-scale presentation that blends Gargash’s evocative architecture photography and Wang’s live score performance to evoke the lingering presences, memories, and aspirations of people who move across time and place.

‘Space Enter Shift’ explores the concept of space through its cross-disciplinary framework, featuring filmmakers and artists. Through discursive programmes on power and capital, territorial divisions, surveillance, and increasing fluidity between physical and virtual realities, AAGFF 2026 forges surprising connections between artistic practices and finds new senses of community as a positive condition of a globalised and digital world in the face of ecological and geopolitical crisis.

Amir H. Fallah’s (@amirhfallah) new public sculpture, ‘Two of Me,’ commissioned by the Los Angeles County Department of Arts and Culture (@lacountyarts) as part of the Public Artists in Development (PAiD) Artist Council program, is currently #OnView at the Kenneth Hahn Hall of Administration in downtown Los Angeles.

‘Two of Me’ presents the body as both structure and story. The figure, assembled from a visual lexicon, spans the ancient and contemporary, the Eastern and Western, the intimate and the public. The work acts as both surface and archive of change, reflecting the immigrant experience of living between cultures. ‘Two of Me’ holds past and present, and assimilation and inheritance, in constant tension. Botanical patterns wrapping the form function as both armor and skin. The work evokes regeneration, resilience, and interconnectedness. As the viewer moves around it, the figure shifts, revealing multiple selves coexisting at once.

Through personal references reduced to silhouettes and deconstructed into traces that merge, fracture, and recombine, ‘Two of Me’ becomes a portrait of a body in flux. The artist examines how identity is constructed, performed, and protected, and how our experiences become embedded within us.

#ClosingSoon Abbas Akhavan (@abbasakhavan) at ‘Les Fleurs du Mal,’ a group exhibition at Oakville Galleries (@oakvillegalleries) curated by Karen Kraven (@karenkraven).

On view until 23 May 2026
📍Oakville Galleries, Ontario, Canada

‘Les Fleurs du Mal’ brings together artworks that explore flowers, gardens, mourning, and remembrance. Grappling with the complexities of the thresholds between life and death, these works consider commemoration, materiality, and embodiment to imagine futures and elsewheres, while also reflecting on the disenchantment within those fantasies and the fleeting beauty of everyday life.
