duabis alserkal avenue 2025 art dubai

Alserkal Avenue in Dubai's Al Quoz Industrial district has transformed from a cluster of warehouses and auto shops into a major cultural hub, now housing around 90 creative businesses including 17 contemporary art galleries. Founded in 2008 by Emirati patron Abdelmonem Bin Eisa Alserkal, the Avenue began with a single gallery, Ayyam, and has since expanded through a $13.6 million investment to replace a marble factory with purpose-built spaces. Key galleries include Carbon 12, The Third Line, and Green Art Gallery. The centerpiece is Concrete, an exhibition hall designed by Rem Koolhaas's OMA, currently hosting Imran Qureshi's solo show 'Vanishing Points,' curated by Nada Raza. Other notable exhibitions include Michael Sailstorfer's 'Air Electric' series at Carbon 12.
