Works: AND'ART tanger // exhibition

And'art, that means visions in Arabic it's a new itinerant

art-music festival in Morocco. In this first edition the

festival has been happening in the city of Tanger. We

were a total of 20 participants counting musicians,

filmmakers, photografers, painters and sculptors. Was so

good to be together with people from differents nationalities,

including of courses moroccans artists. In my group we were

4 people, for some days we moved around the city and

discussed and talked about our impression and feelings.

Next we started working in a project together and

aswell in a individual piece.

The two pictures above are from the market called

"Casabarata", It was amazing for me to discovered,

I love this place, you can find everything, full of energy.

I spoke to some people from there and they told me

more about the place. Three months ago, in the night

some diggers came and pulled down parts of the market,

nobody could tell me why they did it. The first picture

shows how is the situation now. The consequence is that

some people are looking in the ruins trying to find metal

or things which they can sell.

This is how I started recollecting and looking for materials

and objects for my individual piece.

So many children came to see the exhibition,

was really good to see them looking the pieces.

In the schools they don't have any art subject.

For "Casabarata" piece I used found objects,

colour ropes, part of old tree, wire, potato

wrapers and biscuits.

This work its called "Awama" because it's the

name of the area close to theatre Mohamed

Haddad, where we were working.

All the parts of this sculptur are from around

the theater.
