Survival Signs - mounir fatmi

€10.00

I put my hand on the bible. He asked me to raise the other hand and say: I swear. I swore. I just didn't want him to send me off to Guantanamo under any pretense. That instant was for me a moment of extreme lucidity. No more illusions. I live in a world I am not able to understand.Of course the customs agent was only doing his job, and his job required him to be afraid of me. His fear wounded me, and I carry it like a scar to this day. I wanted to help him, but I couldn't. The more 1 tried to reassure him, the more suspicious I grew to him.I know that I am just a speck of dust in this machine. A black leg grafted on the body.of another man. What I'm relating in this letter is nothing compared to what thousands of refugees endure, dodging death as they hope for a better world for them and their children.I've always believed that America could be a part of that world. That heart capable of welcoming us all and warming us. My illusions were shattered the night the result of the latest election was announced.My disappointment was huge. I realized that we may never see again this free world we dreamed of so much...

The Missing Show - mounir fatmi

€10.00

In September 2017, mounir fatmi opened an exhibition in New York at the Jane Lombard Gallery. Through the reading of two texts, a personal letter addressed to his gallerist, and a set of poems, the artist explained his decision not to travel to the United States, instead, learning about how his exhibition was seen and received through social media and the perspective of strangers.These comments left at the gallery as well as online, were transposed into poems via the cut-up process, by the artist and a machine, producing a form of digital poetry.The Missing Show envisions language in the post-internet age in its transitive potential of individualism and individuation. Experiencing reality in all its discontinuity, mounir fatmi raises language to the level of a form of resistance.

The Age of Consequences - mounir fatmi

€10.00

The exploration of the linguistic codes that determine the relationships between individuals, the balance of social interactions, and the importance of dialogue as a collective experience are the elements of a stylistic grammar that sees in the power of language one of the most important codes of cultural contemporaneity.But it is by focusing above all on its contradictions that mounir fatmi- the central figure of this project - explores the methods of communicative correspondence, investigating them with awareness of the extent to which they reflect the evolution of society. It is precisely humanity's continual attempts at expression that dictate the alphabet on which the entire cultural structure is based; and their value can be read in the exaltation of their ambiguities and interpretative variables.Because it is alive, mutable and dynamic, language actually changes, transforms, but also involves itself, as does its decoding within the relevant social system.

180º Behind Me - mounir fatmi

€15.00

“The first major solo presentation by mounir fatmi in Scandinavia comes at a very particular time. In the spring of 2018, Freemuse – an independent organization working with defending the rights and freedom of artistic expression - published its first global report assessing the global state of artistic freedom. It is an important and chilling document about censorship and violations of artistic expression experienced across the globe, including the traditionally democratic western countries. Having himself experienced the consequences of a culture of silencing, mounir fatmi is an artist dedicated to exposing and deconstructing oppressive ideological and religious dogmas in works that shed light some of our most pressing political questions today. Seeking to illuminate the role of artists in a time of crisis, the exhibition at Göteborgs Konsthall particularly addresses the urgency of free speech and seeks to open up the political potential of language as resistance. Engaging in notions of language, and the written word – its beauty, violence and fragility – fatmi’s works expose the layers of interpretation and reinterpretation that comprise our history, but also speaks directly to a culture of censorship and silencing.” Stina Edblom, Artistic Director, Göteborgs Konsthall

The Day Of The Awakening - mounir fatmi

€15.00

The exhibition brings together a series of works by the Morrocan artist mounir fatmi which explore the foundations of history and social nature, expressed through the written word and by different kinds of language: religious, political, ideological and artistic. On display are a total of 20 projects undertaken from 2002 to today composed of hundreds of pieces from a variety of disciplines such as drawing, photograph, sculpture and video. The discourse of The Day of the Awakening focuses however on two main projects: The Index and the machine and Out of History.

The Day of the Awakening is inspired by the title of an in-stallation by mounir fatmi, who participated first hand in the creation of this exhibition. Its epigraph, simple and enigmatic, acts as a metaphor for an artistic work that con-structs visual spaces and linguistic games. In this way, his work offers a view of the world from a different perspective, avoiding the blindness provided by conventions.
