Younes Rahmoun: Here, Now
Date/Time
Location
Smith College Museum of Art (Elm St at Bedford Ter, Northampton, MA 01063, Northampton MA)
*Younes Rahmoun: Here, Now* is the first North American exhibition devoted to the art of Younes Rahmoun, one of Morocco’s leading contemporary artists.
Over the last 25 years, Rahmoun has found inspiration in a profound connection to his here and now. He transforms simple shapes, materials and gestures from his daily life into sculptures and installations. For Rahmoun, creating art provides a way to be present with himself and with the world around him.
Like much of Rahmoun’s art, the exhibition invests in and responds to multiple locations. At Smith, there are three new site-specific commissions as well as a selection of major sculptures, drawings, videos, and installations that Rahmoun has made since the 1990s. Two partner exhibitions have been organized at La Kunsthalle Mulhouse (Mulhouse, France) and Kulte Center for Contemporary Art & Editions (Rabat, Morocco).
