Pascal Hachem Lebanese, b. 1979

b. 1979, Beirut, Lebanon / Lives and works in Beirut, Lebanon

Hachem’s works developed over the years as a discrete experience, through processes that employ the visual to evoke an intellectual and psychological response.

Working through performative acts, often interventions into urban spaces, or by creating sculptural installations in gallery settings, Hachem sets up compelling situations which ask or even demand that the viewer pause and concentrate, take the time to think and work out visual conundrums. At its core, his work manifests his responses to the world, to the power relations and social situations he relentlessly examines and critiques.

Hachem has exhibited his works in several international institutions and biennials such the Mosaic Rooms, London, UK / The Gwangju Museum of Art, Gwangju, South Korea / Mario Merz Foundation, Turin, Italy / First Architecture Biennale, Rotterdam, The Netherlands / Centre Pompidou, Paris, France / Carthage Museum, Tunis, Tunisia / 11ème Biennale de l'Art Africain Contemporain, Musée Théodore Monod of IFAN, Dakar, Senegal / Milwaukee Art Museum (MAM), Wisconsin, USA.

Hachem’s work pertains to many prestigious art collections, including the Kamel Lazaar Foundation, Tunisia / Switzerland Nadour Collection, Germany / Farook Collection, U.A.E. / Galila Barzilai-Hollander Collection, Belgium.
