A Savage Mind

By Mounir Fatmi

Release : 2021-11-03

Genre : Art & Architecture, Books, Arts & Entertainment

Kind : ebook

(0 ratings)
"The exhibition presents a body of work (sculptures, photographs, and drawings) that address several themes dear to the artist: Confrontation between cultures, unfortunately often taking place in the form of violence, the subject of language and knowledge, and even the relationship between said knowledge and so-called ignorance. The questions that are posed around these themes manifest into forms that embody all the ambiguities of the time. Some of the implicit queries whispered throughout the works are these: How does the meeting between the one who "can do" and one who "knows how to speak of what is done" play out? Or, what is the relationship between the people who make up society on a daily basis and those who govern it? In other words: what is the relationship between a craftsman (the who does) and a machine (an engineered product that synthesizes, and thus simplifies thought and expertise)? In this exhibition and in the work of fatmi in general, it is as if a comparison has already been made, but is never fully at rest between the duo consisting of the "savage” and the “scholar." "
