Sa\u00e2dane Afif (France, 1970)<\/h4>

Defined as \u2018post-conceptual\u2019, Sa\u00e2dane Afif\u2019s work is about interpretation, exchange and circulation. It takes multiple forms (performance, objects, sculptures, text, posters and works in neon) with the exhibition as a pretext for production or activation. <\/p>\r\n

For a show in Essen in 2004, he asked Lili Reynaud Dewar to write a song inspired by his artwork; this was the beginning of the series called Lyrics for which he displaces his authorship and collaborates with other artists or writers. The texts or statements are often transferred to the walls using holographic self-adhesive paper. Afif\u2019s practice is rooted in music: scores, instruments, amplifiers, speakers, microphones, concerts are part of his vocabulary or media. Other recurring interests include the passing of time (skulls, clocks), appropriation,remakes or repetitions and the displacement of meaning, and the critique of institutions. In 2010 Afif wrote: \u201cMy work today does not rely on the object: it is developed through the accumulation or interweaving of elements that can be more or less visible.\u201d<\/p>\r\n

Recent solo exhibitions include L\u00e0 bas, Kunsthaus Glarus (2014);Ici, Leopold-Hoesch-Museum & Papiermuseum, D\u00fcren (2014),From the collection: Sa\u00e2dane Afif Technical Specifications, Room 2, Kunstmuseum Liechtenstein (2014) and Blue Time, Blue Time, Blue Time\u2026, Institut d\u2019Art Contemporain, Villeurbanne.<\/p>\r\n

Sa\u00e2dane Afif\u2019s work was included in Documenta 12 in 2007 and the 56th International Exhibition of the Venice Bienniale in 2015. The artist won the Prix Marcel Duchamp in 2009, which led to an exhibition at the Centre Georges Pompidou, Paris, in 2010.<\/p>\r\n

He lives and works in Berlin.<\/p> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n
