Numbers Are - 3ème Biennale Internationale de l’Art Contemporain Casablanca
Transitory constellations, scattered quantities of matter, dialogue between measure and intuition, mediation between space, position and meaning.
Here we represent them as individual tiny containers made of clay, each carries a symbol, each relates to the grid.
We have constructed those vessels with purpose, each being a jewel that keeps plant seeds close to the body of the gardener. By wearing those jewels, by carrying the DNA of plants on our body and transporting it through the space, we convert our body into a figure that relates to the grid.
The photo series then, might tell the intuitive representation of apparently un-related actions, happening in different contexts and unknowingly. The preservation of the variety of life forms done collectively by individuals sharing nothing else than the fluid grid where their actions are inscribed. The numerical and heuristic potential of critical mass.
Egle Oddo (Italy) and Timo Tuhkanen (Finland)
Numbers Are is a photo series printed on Museum Archival paper, Edition 5, Helsinki 2016.
Curator of European section Cristina Ghetti has invited artists Egle Oddo and Timo Tuhkanen to show their recent research with Ark of Seeds project. The duo exhibits a video installation, a photo installation and a performance.
Venue of exhibition: Ex-Cathédrale du Sacré-Cœur, Parc de la Ligue Arabe, 20000 Casablanca, Morocco.
Days of exhibition: from 14.10. to 23.10.2016.
Mostapha Romli, Secrétaire Général de la Biennale Internationale de Casablanca, writes about 2016 edition: “This year exhibition is titled We, the People. Indeed, the world is transformed by individual acts put together: investments of economic actors, opinions of the intelligentsia influencing political leaders, and especially the succession of individual actions that might be considered trivial but, summed, become major. From America, Asia, Africa and Europe, the commissioners of Casablanca Biennial invited committed artists to urge us to bring our dreams into action.”
Casablanca Biennale has been initiated in 2012, after the Arab Spring, to renew bridges between different cultural regions in a climate of global change, and to mediate between tradition and progressive thinking.
Partners of event:
Fondation Maroc Premium, Ministry of Culture Morocco, The Oriental Agency.
