ADEL ABDESSEMED : Le Vase abominable

22 Feb-30 Mar 2013

Overview

Across a wide range of media, Adel Abdessemed transforms well-known materials and imagery into charged artistic declarations. Presented are new sculptures, drawings, and a major new video work. The artist pulls freely from myriad sources—personal, historical, social, and political—to create a visual language that is simultaneously rich and economical, sensitive and controversial, radical and mundane. Earlier this year, the artist concluded a solo exhibition at Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris, where he is based.
