After years of strenuous ballet training, the regular factory-like gym workout wasn’t the option I was looking when trying to find a place to stay fit. During a recent visit home to New York I took what was called a “barre” class and was immediately hooked. The workout made use of a ballet barre and also incorporating strength training moves and Pilates exercises. I remember thinking to myself that this was what Dubai’s fitness landscape was missing: a concept that merged the grace and strengthening postures of a ballet workout with cardiovascular exercise. In July 2013 American fitness concept Physique 57 launched its first studio outside of the US in Dubai. Since then, it’s gathered a massive following for its highly effective 57-minute workout combining ballet moves with strengthening and cardio exercises.

Currently on view at XVA’s space in Dubai’s historic Al Fahidi Historical neighborhood, is Gentle by Jonathan Gent. Made during an intense period of work in the Cote d’Azur, this new series of paintings reflects Gent’s impressions of the Mediterranean as well as his of memories of time spent in Dubai during a residency in Bastakiya in 2010. In his exploration of the city’s limits, Gent became captivated by the simultaneously exhilarating and isolating stillness that exists in the wide-open spaces in the margins of the city where skyscrapers meet the desert. Gent’s paintings, which are often deceptively simple, can also be seen as visual poems that offer a uniquely wry insight into human complexity.
