On view till September 9, the show combines the visual language of the digital age with neon colours, graphic imagery, and nostalgic elements. The featured artworks invite the viewer on a journey through time, set against the intense summer atmosphere of Dubai. In the curated selection, pop aesthetics are not merely a surface thing; it is deliberately intentional in attitude. Featured artists are Ebru Döşekçi, Sabine Boehl, Hiba Kalache, Jacopo di Cera, Matteo Mandelli, Sinem Sezgin Bozkurt, Emre Namyeter, Onur Hastürk and Deniz Özuygur. The exhibition also blends contemporary visual language with evocations of collective memory, while simultaneously engaging with critical issues at the forefront of contemporary art discourse. Pop of Time is a visual record of this era and a contemporary narrative shaped through pop.

Ebru Döşekçi was born in Ankara (1972), and has been creating sculptures since her graduation from the Faculty of Communication at Ege University, Turkey. She received her Master's degree in Plastic Arts from Yeditepe University and has participated in numerous exhibitions and fairs in Turkey and overseas. Her works are included in various private and public collections. The broad variety of vibrant structures of Sabine Boehl's conceptual work refer to different cultural and historical epochs. She works with glass beads that are sewn onto canvas, with every single coloured bead serving as an informational sign.
