Frieze published Chloe Stead's review of Rays, Ripples, Residue on 14 January 2026, a survey of a decade of art from the UAE at 421 Arts Campus in Abu Dhabi. The published headline uses Emirate, not Emirati.
In the section Ghosts of Arrival, curated by Nadine Khalil, Stead discusses Hashel Al Lamki as co curator, with the Bait 15 initiative, of the 2018 project Bait Juma, and describes Ezba 1127, 2018, a family photograph printed on translucent textile, shown as a curtain with a blue tinge. The review also reproduces Space is Holy, 2016 to 2026. The gallery is not named. Al Lamki appears here as an artist and as a co curator of an earlier artist led project, not as the subject of a solo review.
The exhibition was on view at 421 Arts Campus until 26 April 2026.
Stead's review also covers other sections of the survey, including work on heat, sun and the built landscape of the UAE. The Al Lamki passage is one paragraph with a reproduced work, not a solo review, but it is a named appearance in Frieze of a current roster artist.
Tabari represents Hashel Al Lamki.
