Hard Head
8th - 30th April 2009 on www.tank.tv

“For me, identity is the worst heritage you can receive.” mounir fatmi

tank.tv is pleased to present the exhibition Hard Head from mounir fatmi:
'The Machinery', 'Feast, Tribute to William Burroughs', 'Man with no Horse,
movement 03', 'The Others are the Others', 'The Lost Ones', 'Commerciale',
'May God forgive me', 'Embargo' and 'Manipulations'.

mounir fatmi constructs visual spaces and linguistic games that aim to free
the viewer from their preconceptions of politics and religion, and allows
them to contemplate these and other subjects in new ways. His videos,
installations, drawings, paintings and sculptures bring to light our doubts,
fears and desires. They directly address the current events of our world,
and serve to both clarify the origins and symptoms of global issues, as well
as speak to those whose lives are affected by specific events.

Born in 1970 in Tangier and currently living and working in Paris mounir
fatmi’s work has been exhibited internationally at venues such as the Centre
Georges Pompidou, Paris, Tate Modern, London, the Studio Museum Harlem, New
York and the Mori Art Museum in Tokyo, Japan. He has also participated in a
range of biennials and triennials including the Gwangju Biennial, Korea, the
Sharjah Biennial and the 52nd Venice Biennale.
