GIACOMETTI / MARWAN OBSESSIONS

Alberto Giacometti, MARWAN

Paris, France

At the Institut Giacometti

A two-part exhibition, ‘GIACOMETTI / MARWAN OBSESSIONS’ brings about the unprecedented encounter of two artists who, having chosen to create in a country other than their country of birth - France and Germany - question the issues of modernity from two different cultural spaces: Europe and the Middle East.

Giacometti and MARWAN made the representation of the head the core of a stubborn quest that underpins their position as artists. This exhibition, the first joint presentation of their works, offers a cross-conversation in which surrealism and early works by MARWAN (1962-1972), drawings, Heads and sculpted portraits, meet, affirming a strong link between plastic research and thoughts on the human being.
