Tate Britain
2008
This exhibition traces influences and references of art movements and art production in the Middle East. In an exchange project students from London, Damascus and Amman experienced an unknown urban and cultural environment visiting each other’s cities. These impressions formed a starting point for the creation of numerous pieces of artwork or writing. The exhibition design created a distinctive and playful environment by using scrolls of foam as multifunctional exhibition furniture, used for display, projection and seating. One wall was used to create a loose display, reminiscent of a student workshop, of personae, historic facts, geographical locations and reproduction of art works.
