impossible wall.
Gallery Dod brings artists, ambitious ideas and complex sites into alignment, then carries the work all the way through.
↓︎What we do
We make ambitious art
work in the real world.
Gallery Dod is a founder-led team of art production specialists based in the UAE. Each commission is led directly by Dod Riyahi, from the first conversation through final handover.
Artists, producers and specialist crews are brought together according to the creative and technical demands of the project. This flexible model allows every team to be built around the work: its scale, site, materials and ambition.

Across the UAE
Three flagship case studies establish the scale of the practice. The wider project archive below shows the same discipline moving through public realm, retail, events and campaign production.
