DISARRAY / ROCOCO N°3
Dorothy M. Yoon, Mohammed El Mourid
10 November - 2 December 2012
CEAAC has developed a network of international partners which annually implements the reception and sending of artists in residence. It also has a space dedicated to showcasing the work of all the artists who participate in these exchange programs.
Within the framework of the partnership with the International Art Studio Korea (IASK) of the Seoul Museum of Contemporary Art, Dorothy M.Yoon undertook a three-month residency at CEAAC which began in early September 2012.
Mohammed el Mourid was received in Korea from April to June 2011. Following his residency, he presented his work at the international exhibition Translated which was organized in late 2011 by the Korea Foundation Cultural Center, a partner of the Seoul Museum of Contemporary Art, with the support of CEAAC, the Alsace Region and Syndicat Potentiel.
The works produced during their respective residencies will be presented at the International Space on the occasion of this exhibition.
DISARRAY
Having gleaned all the images of my trip and being confronted with a reality that is not mine, but in which I participated, acts, looks, tensions, singing, ceremonies ... testify and reveal everything that was invisible to me.
Statement of intent by Mohammed el Mourid
ROCOCO NO.33
The colour pink and women are the key concepts in my work. I am drawn to both these elements because they involve contradictions and because of their ambiguity ; between white and red, daughter and wife, ordinary and exceptional, dream and reality, Western and Eastern culture.
My works also reflect the deep desire for beauty and fantasy inside me since I was young and played with a blonde barbie doll with blue eyes and pink plastic shoes.
The Rococo No.33 series, which includes all the core elements of my hybrid identities, shows passing and possession. Because at some point, other cultures belong to us all, we will share the ambiguities and possibility to choose. In a better and brighter future, we will be women, men, and we will have a choice, we could be eggs, bananas or any other stygmata of a culture, gender and racial diversity. We will own each other.
