Inloco Gallery returns with Everything Comes to an End, a reflective pop-up exhibition that explores how endings can create space for new beginnings. Presented at Foundry Downtown, the show marks a turning point for the gallery as it transitions back to its nomadic format after nearly three years of developing a permanent home in Al Quoz.
Gathering ten artists from the MENA region and beyond, the exhibition examines how people confront impermanence and transformation. It also reveals how artistic practice can give form to what often defies permanence.
Endings as Beginnings
“The idea for Everything Comes to an End was born from a lighthearted conversation within our team — but it quickly revealed itself as a collective sentiment, resonating with the volatility of our times, the transformations reshaping the art world, and Inloco’s own evolution toward a new format. Through this exhibition, we wanted to consider what an ‘ending’ truly entails — how it can embody both a point of closure and the inception of something yet to come,” said Anna Vetoshkina, Program Curator, Inloco Gallery.
Over the past year, Inloco Gallery has expanded its roster, introducing five new Arab artists who will make their Dubai debut. This move reaffirms the gallery’s dedication to amplifying distinctive voices in the regional art landscape. The exhibition’s title itself reflects the gallery’s evolution, suggesting that endings are not finite but transformative, opening pathways to renewal and creative growth.
Artists and Perspectives
Everything Comes to an End brings together:
Dr. Khaled Alawadi (UAE), Abdulrahim Al Kendi (Oman), Moath Alofi (KSA), Neda Salmanpour (UAE), Da Bro (France), Filippo Minelli (Italy), Karim Jabbari (UAE), Samir Toumi (Morocco), Ismail Zaidy (Morocco), and Lokher (Algeria).
Their works invite visitors to reflect on the continuous cycle of loss and creation — and to see that every conclusion, when viewed through an artistic lens, can also signal a beginning.
