Devotional Landscapes

CATALINA SWINBURN SOLO EXHIBITION

12 May - 25 June 2025

Born in Santiago, Chile, Swinburn lives and works between Buenos Aires & London. The artist’s sculptural paper compositions — crafted from intricately woven vintage documents — explore themes of heritage, identity, and resilience.

Swinburn’s new body of work straddles both archaeological and contemporary languages; it marks a visual recognition of a geography where architectural notes and landmarks are intertwined in her work, interlocking her materials as if they were a mosaic, retracing connections in the Maghreb through Zawiyas. Through extensive research in Gabes, the Medina of Tunis, and various archeological and religious sites in Tunisia, the artist affiliates these sites as conduits of a profound significance of healing and devotion.

The exhibition equally marks the encounter and intersection of two independent practices—Catalina Swinburn and Tunisian artist Mohamed Amine Hamouda—where their materials and ends collaboratively overlap. As part of her research, Swinburn made several trips to Gabès, witnessing Hamouda’s decade-long construction of paper from vegetal scraps in his studio—a space where they jointly created the paper for their shared project. In the mezzanine space, Swinburn weaves together this paper, made from fibres directly from palm trees from the Oasis of Gabès, utilising palm leaves and natural pigments.

Devotional Landscapes runs from 12 May to 25 June 2025.

To Weave into Words and Films

ZINEB SEDIRA SOLO EXHIBITION

20 September - 23 November 2024

We are delighted to present Zineb Sedira's To Weave into Words and Films in Tunisia next month. This newest iteration of Dreams Have No Titles, first unveiled at the French Pavilion during the 2022 Venice Biennale, marks the debut of the installation in North Africa and its first showing in a formerly colonized country.

The exhibition, Sedira's second show with us and first in our new space, triangulates between a screening of her film Dreams Have No Titles, a series of tapestry works highlighting Tunisian artisanship, and a display of lightboxes, all of which reverberate an overarching ethos.

On a Rock, a Brief Circle of Sun

Massinissa Selmani

23 September - 13 November 2022

In Massinissa Selmani’s abbreviated aesthetic, weighty ideas are carried by the barest of means and always with a light touch. A section of a miniature barrier embedded in a rock, a few cursory lines in chalk denoting a cloud, the outline of a man bearing a blank flag, a portion...
