Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Utilizing mediums as diverse as mechanized flip-flops and animated film, Bennani takes a playful, ultra-contemporary approach to the representation of global cultures on social mediaThis publication documents, analyzes and comments on new works by New York-based Moroccan artist Meriem Bennani (born 1988) in relation to her previous production and the cultural context in which she works. Bennani's works explore the potential of storytelling while amplifying reality through a strategy of fantastical imagery and humor, juxtaposing and mixing the language of YouTube videos, reality TV, documentaries and animation. Throughout her career, she has developed a shape-shifting practice of films, sculptures and immersive installations questioning contemporary society and its fractured identities, gender issues and dominance of digital technologies. Combining a new site-specific, large-scale installation with an art film codirected with Orian Barki, the project documented here, her most ambitious, explores ways of being together in public and intimate sociopolitical settings.

Brossura. Condition: new. Milano, Fondazione Prada, October 31, 2024 - February 24, 2025. By Mario Mainetti, Niccolò Gravina. Introduction by Miuccia Prada. Graphic Design by Tiffany Malakooti. English Text. Milano, 2024; paperback, pp. 260, 272 col. ill., cm 17x22,5. With Italian translations. Conversation between Orian Barki, Meriem Bennani, Niccolò Gravina, Mario Mainetti Texts by Daniel Arnold, Maïa Tellit Hawad, Chrissie Iles, Norman M. Klein, Emily LaBarge, Lars LaLa and Abdellah Taïa Combining a new site-specific, large-scale installation with an art film co-directed with Orian Barki, this project explores ways of being together in public and intimate socio-political settings. This project is the most ambitious work Bennani has ever done both in terms of complexity, size and the length of the creative process, which took more than two years to complete. It is part of a line of programming that Fondazione Prada has been pursuing for more than thirty years, involving collaborations with international artists to create utopian projects that are both conceptually and aesthetically complex. Meriem Bennani (Morocco, 1988) explores the potential of storytelling while amplifying reality through a strategy of fantastical imagery and humor, juxtaposing and mixing the language of YouTube videos, reality TV, documentaries, animation, and high-production aesthetics. Throughout her career, she has been developing a shape-shifting practice of films, sculptures and immersive installations, composed with a subtle agility to question our contemporary society and its fractured identities, gender issues, and ubiquitous dominance of digital technologies. As Bennani explains, "A central theme of 'For My Best Family' is how to be together, questioning where we start and stop as people. It unfolds in the two levels of the Podium, the main exhibition building of the Milan headquarters. Combining a new site-specific, large-scale installation with an art film co-directed with Orian Barki, "For My Best Family" explores ways of being together in public and intimate socio-political settings. This project is the most ambitious work Bennani has ever done both in terms of complexity, size and the length of the creative process, which took more than two years to complete. It is part of a line of programming that Fondazione Prada has been pursuing for more than thirty years, involving collaborations with international artists to create utopian projects that are both conceptually and aesthetically complex. Bennani is developing a multi-sensory environment for Fondazione Prada. It unfolds in the two levels of the Podium. On the ground floor, Sole crushing is a large mechanical installation that animates 192 flip-flops and slippers into a ballet-symphony-riot and musical composition. The soundtrack was composed in collaboration with music producer Reda Senhaji aka Cheb Runner. This kinetic and complex system is designed as an archipelago of polyphonic groups in which a multitude of flip-flops are arranged in different conformations: two "orchestras," two spiral sculptures and a central island. Each item is connected to a pneumatic system that makes it mobile, alive, and breathing and to a drum surface made of various materials that amplify the sound of the object that hits it. This humorous and organic space will evoke states of collective catharsis, chaotic and organized collective rituals like traditional Moroccan musical forms such as the deqqa marrakchia, architectures of spectacle like stadiums, states of delirium or hallucination, and protest. The first floor of the Podium will host a cinema-like space to screen For Aicha, a new art film directed by Meriem Bennani and Orian Barki under the creative production of John Michael Boling and Jason Coombs. Set between New York, Rabat and Casablanca, in a world populated by anthropomorphic animals and suspended between realism, autobiography, and fiction, this artwork is the culmination of a long creative process.

Brossura. Condition: new. Milano, Fondazione Prada, March 31 - August 22, 2022. Edited by Elmgreen & Dragset. With italian translations on the texts. English Text. Milano, 2022; paperback, pp. 528, 247 col. ill., cm 17x23. Spanning more than 3,000 square meters, "Useless Bodies?" is an exhibition by the artist duo Elmgreen & Dragset and one of the most ambitious thematic investigations realized by Fondazione Prada to date. Conceived for four gallery spaces and the courtyard of its Milan venue, the exhibition explores the present condition of the body in the post-industrial age in which it seems that our physical presence is losing its centrality or is even completely superfluous. This shift impacts every aspect of our lives: from our working conditions, to our health, our interpersonal relationships, and the way we retain information. The exhibition "Useless Bodies?" also explores how we physically adapt to a world increasingly based on two-dimensional imagery, not least in the light of the current pandemic. As stated by Elmgreen & Dragset, "our bodies are no longer the main agents of our existence. They don't generate value in our societies' advanced production methods as they did in the industrial era. One could claim our physical selves have even become more of an obstacle than an advantage. In the 19th century, the body was the producer of daily goods, whereas, in the 20th century, the body's role became more that of the consumer. Twenty years into the 21st century the status of the body is now that of the product - with our data gathered and sold by Big Tech. With the publicly available knowledge surrounding the harvesting of data from tech companies being so inane, and the rapidly accelerating rate at which such companies are expanding into every aspect of our lives, it does sometimes feel a little scary to think about our bodies' future role." Perception of the body is an underlying theme that connects many aspects of the sculptural and performative work of Elmgreen & Dragset, who throughout their career have explored subjects such as growing up, intimacy, identity, different modes of living and how we navigate the public sphere. Following the exhibition path from the Podium, to the Nord gallery, to the Cisterna, the audience will encounter several immersive installations. The Milan premises of Fondazione Prada are transformed into a series of different universes, each with their own atmosphere, theme, and aesthetics. Libro.…
