Latifa Echakhch at Venice Biennale
Dvir Gallery is delighted to announce details of the Pavilion of Switzerland exhibition at the 59ᵗʰ International Art Exhibition – La Biennale di Venezia. The exhibition titled The Concert, is conceived by Latifa Echakhch, in collaboration with percussionist and composer Alexandre Babel and curator Francesco Stocchi. Gloomy remnants of art fill the first space, where visitors ready out on a counterclockwise journeying through time. In each room, the atmosphere changes – time runs backwards, from broad daylight to the evening before. Ever more recognizably inspired by folk sculpture and community, the sculptures, filling the whole space, are increasingly veiled by a spreading darkness. These are scenes of impermanence, of catharsis, with which installation artist Latifa Echakhch captivates visitors of the Pavilion of Switzerland at this year'south Biennale Arte, scenes that bring to the fore the wheel of life in a multi-layered and circuitous fashion. Near of the cloth used for the exhibition is itself part of a transformation, recycled from previous biennales. Between ritual and rhythm The artist Latifa Echakhch, who lives in Switzerland, evokes the ritual fires that are common in many cultures. They include the lighting of straw dolls for the St. John's burn, which is supposed to protect confronting demons and diseases around the solstice at the end of June or, in Switzerland, the burning of the "Böögg" on Zurich's Sechseläutenplatz to bid farewell to the wintertime season. Fire is e'er both the finish and the beginning on a constantly turning wheel of time. Latifa Echakhch also enters into a dialogue with the edifice designed past Bruno Giacometti in 1951. The artist revisits its architectural plan and appropriates the entirety of its spaces, exploring their relationship to light and the different sounds that sally from them. The exhibition plays with harmonies and dissonances, with the mixed feelings of expectation, fulfilment and disappearance. The sculptures are part of an orchestrated and enveloping experience, a rhythmic and spatial proposal that allows viewers to experience a fuller perception of time and of their own body. "We desire visitors to leave the exhibition with the same feeling they have when they come out of a concert. That this rhythm, those fragments of retentiveness, even so echo," says Latifa Echakhch. "The Biennale is an eruption of artistic greatness every time. A wave that culminates in a cathartic grandeur only to then recede, leaving a deserted landscape of abandoned buildings." Through the exhibition, Latifa Echakhch raises the question whether fine art, similar to music, only begins to be in one case silence and emptiness take over. Project book and tape The exhibition volition be accompanied by a record and a book functioning as a reflection of the discussions that guided the projection. The book presents archival material, interviews and critical texts, including theoretical considerations around sound, rhythm and the notion of a total work of fine art. Equally such, it will constitute an additional dimension in the agreement of the exhibition. Latifa Echakhch is co-represented past Dvir Gallery, kamel mennour, kaufmann repetto and Pace Gallery.
