SUMMARY:FACT: Bassam Issa Al-Sabah
DESCRIPTION:Explore Bassam’s dreamlike worlds of animation\, painting and
  sculpture in THE MISSION IS THE END\, THE END IS ALL I WANT! This new i
 mmersive exhibition offers visions of resistance\, transformation and quee
 r possibility.\n\nCurated images\, polished narratives\, and carefully pac
 kaged experiences saturate our everyday lives. We are sold fantasies as li
 festyles to aspire to\, which shape our desires and how we see ourselves a
 nd the world. In digital spaces that promise connection and freedom\, we o
 ften become flattened to profiles that reflect how we want to be seen. Our
  appearance to others becomes determined by algorithms and the systems beh
 ind them.\n\nBassam Issa Al-Sabah works across digital animation\, paintin
 g\, sculpture\, and textiles to create dreamlike environments that offer v
 isions of resistance\, transformation and queer possibility. At the centre
  of his work is an interest in how digital culture influences our response
  to trauma\, displacement and loss. His imagined worlds offer room to reco
 nsider personal and collective existences - places where fantasy becomes b
 oth a shelter and a site of reckoning. In this new immersive work\, Bassam
  explores the dreamlike quality of digital media\, from its glossy surface
  to its seductive imagery. Do these idealised images reflect our desires\,
  or have our identities been moulded to desire the impossible?
