Seher Shah's first solo show in Dubai, The Lightness of Mass, 2016, was accompanied by this fully-illustrated catalogue with essays by Shanay Jhaveri, the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Assistant Curator of South Asian Art and Murtaza Vali, an independent Writer and Curator based between Brooklyn and Sharjah.

Across six series of works in The Lightness of Mass, Shah deftly collapses the binary of the show’s title, illustrating that weight and lightness, far from being contradictory, exist, in fact, simultaneously; they comprise a single state of being.

Seher Shah’s practice uses experiences from the field of art and architecture to think about space, landscape, objects and aesthetics through drawing, printmaking and sculpture. Her work draws through scale shifts between the individual to architecture, personal memory to collective historical events and the transformation of symbols and spaces.
