We attended the opening of Dubai-based artist UBIK last night at traffic.
We've known UBIK for years now - as he actually painted a mural in one of our first StickyGinger offices - and the boy has really become a man and made a huge transition in his work.
Relate to the Matter As I Drop the Bomb examines the recent socio-political shift in the MENA region, by exploring the optimism of the “new wave social media 9-5 weekday anarchists” who seem to promote a sense of idealism that is both convenient and skeptical.
Showing lenticular phrases, interactive photocopiers (I picked up limited edition print 10/100) and physical displays -as well as translated excerpts from films such as 'Fight Club" - this show really impressed me. I absolutely loved it.
Another huge coup for Rami Farook, traffic and of course, UBIK. Check out pictures below.
