Interior design trends come and go as often as the seasons change. Just look back at color fads through the decades: avocado green, vintage gold, dusty blue and mauve — and greige, that popular mashup of gray and beige. Design magazines have made several predictions in recent issues about what will go out in 2022 or come in with the new year. We took three of these and asked four local interior designers to weigh in on them. Disagree, there are no right or wrong answers, just their perspectives on whether they see these trends happening locally. The fourth question is their prediction of upcoming trends. The four interior designers are Marsha Yessick, owner of Yessick Design Center; Steve Walker, owner of Stephen Walker Interiors; Kris Keith, designer with Classic Cabinetry; and Brandon Hood, assistant interior designer at Nell’s Home, Gifts & Interior Designs.

Latif Al Ani’s exhibition of photographs at The Farjam Foundation in Dubai presents a cultural milestone. Not only does it celebrate the work of a pioneering 20th-century Iraqi photographer, who died in 2021 aged 89, but it is also a glamorous and, in retrospect, haunting record of Iraq from the 1950s-1970s. Titled Latif Al-Ani: Documenting the Unforgettable and the Forgotten, the ongoing exhibition at the Dubai International Financial Center gallery features three sections of Al Ani’s work. The first focuses on his photographs of Iraq’s changing architectural landscape, the second captures Baghdad’s postcolonial society and the third showcases his work in rural Iraq. “Latif’s photographs are very much driven by this idea of ​​a postcolonial nation in the making,” Morad Montazami, art historian and curator of the exhibition, tells The National. “I approached his work as documentary photography and tried to find the patterns that reveal the story of this documentation.” The narrati...

The internet has done a commendable job of mocking NFTs to death, or at least into remission—big game developers like Ubisoft that initially showed interest have mercifully stopped bringing them up—and now some are hoping that the “make it’s so uncool that no one will touch it.” tactic could be used to stem another trend: the rapidly advancing AI image generators that spit out flattering, fake portraits of our friends and stills from imaginary David Lynch Warhammer films (opens in new tab) . I think they will be disappointed. AI “art” isn’t going anywhere. In one sense, NFTs and AI art are opposites: NFTs promise that each piece of digital artwork can be a unique and valuable commodity, while AI art promises to wipe out the value of digital art through the Internet with an endless supply of it to flood If Jimmy Fallon wanted to hoard all those stupid NFT monkey photos, I don’t think most people would mind, but the cheap, fast generation of AI images made it hard not to see more and...
