Description: Slanted Squares' gives a glimpse of the wide range of Marwan Rechmaoui's practice from the last two decades. It includes works in which Rechmaoui (b. 1964, Beirut, Lebanon), laureate Bonnefanten Award for Contemporary Art (BACA) 2019, is concerned with urban structures, and mapping in order to talk about the political and social landscape of Beirut and the region as a whole. What makes Rechmaoui's work so exceptionally influential is both his unique exploration of the layered social dynamics of the city and the way in which he masters the sculptural aspects of form, volume and material in this exploration. 00Exhibition: Bonnefantenmuseum, Maastricht, The Netherlands (24.05. - 08.09.2019).
