Rasheed Araeen & Rana Begum in Conversation
5 Jun 2023
The Courtauld
London WC2R 0RN
Overview
The inaugural event of a new seminar series in curating will bring in conversation two leading contemporary artists based in London. It is organised on the occasion of the release of Rasheed Araeen’s book Islam and Modernism in which the artist takes on issues of visual and cultural identity and representation, through references ranging from the Kaaba to Cubism and what he describes as the eurocentrism of modernism.
Working both within languages that have been described as geometric and abstract and quoting Islamic art, Araeen and Begum will discuss the plural narratives and dimensions, whether personal, sensorial or historical, that sustain their work across painting, sculpture and architecture and the places they hold for present society.
