Mona Hatoum: Turbulence

The exhibition Mona Hatoum: Turbulence brings to the forefront the diversity of Mona Hatoum’s work over the last 30 years. It is the largest exhibition to date of her work in the Arab world. Curated by Sam Bardaouil and Till Fellrath of Art Reoriented, the exhibition’s premise builds on the artist’s topical work Turbulence (2012), a 4 x 4 meter square composed of thousands of glass marbles laid directly onto the floor. Placed exactly at the center of the exhibition, this installation lies at the heart of a linear but non-chronological trajectory whereby a number of unexpected juxtapositions echo the complexity through which the artist has managed to challenge, and at times disturb, our experience of the ordinary.

Exhibition Design was by AgeNCe and the fit-out was implemented by Interspace. I worked closely with AgeNCe and primarily handled the technical design and implementation. I assisted the lighting designer in implementing a new lighting system as well as managing all AV components of the exhibition. In addition, I supervised the fit-out team and ensured a timely deliver in accordance with design.
