TROUW INVITES PALAIS DE TOKYO
3 July - 3 August 2014

The Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam and cultural foundation De Verdieping, present the series Trouw Invites..., three exhibitions in the basement of TrouwAmsterdam. The first exhibition is by art institution Palais de Tokyo (Paris), with an installation of artist Fouad Bouchoucha.

During the first edition of Trouw Invites... we’ll welcome the art institution Palais de Tokyo (Paris). Curator Rebecca Lamarche-Vadel has invited the artist Fouad Bouchoucha to represent the themes of transiency and temporality in De Hal. The monumental space will serve as the stage for this unique collaboration in an environment where visual art and club culture confront each other head-on.

LANDSCAPE
Fouad Bouchoucha (1981, Marseille, France) will create a new piece called Landscape (2014): an installation that invites the public to penetrate an unusual and mysterious environment. The viewer is facing a constant and dense landscape of fog that forbids any visibility. Fouad Bouchoucha, inspired by the unachieved novel Le Mont Analogue (1944) by René Daumel, is thus using the imagination of each individual stepping in the installation. Landscape is a work that operates as a time catalyst and it uses to memory of its viewers; a landscape of images from the past, invisible to the naked eye, but tangible for the viewer.
