2nd Marrakech Biennale 2007: “9 perspectives from South Africa”
23 - 29 Nov 2007
2nd MARRAKECH BIENNALE 2007
“9 perspectives from South Africa”
23 - 29 November
Curated by Abdellah Karroum
AiM 2007 was undoubtedly a resounding success! Despite the heavens opening on the opening evening and blessing AiM with heavy downpours the photographic exhibition, “9 perspectives from South Africa” drew a large crowd for a very wet Friday evening! The South African photographic exhibition in the museum of Marrakech was bold and striking – and the unique spaces inside the museum, such as the douriya and the smoke-blackened walls of the hammam gave each photographer’s work its own intimate and unusual setting. This exhibition at AiM was one of the first major international exhibitions to offer an overview of Southern African Photography.
One of the most exciting editions to the biennale was L’appartement 22, a project for contemporary art from Rabat founded and curated by Abdellah Karroum. The works included video, photography, installations, miniatures and plastic and were produced by Moroccan artists between 2002 and 2007. L’appartement 22 Rabat/Marrakech was exhibited at Marrakech’s new film school – L’Ecole Superieure des Arts Visuels (ESAV).
