“I’m surrounded by emojis and eyeball wallpaper, tiny caricatures of our collective human experience, and I am told that every single one of my emotions is, or already has been, for sale. I am not in control. Still, I am complicit.”
– Saira Ansari, on the Shumon Basar, Douglas Coupland, and Hans Ulrich Obrist-curated “Age of You” exhibition at Jameel Arts Centre, Dubai. “The show hints at being democratic with fear and rage,“ Ansari observes in her ambivalent review. “It’s successful with the former, lax with the latter.”
