About
Sound is at the heart of Tarek Atoui’s (b.1980, Beirut) artistic practice. As an artist and electro-acoustic composer, he is known for the fluid connections he makes between sound, matter, time, space and human action. In inventive listening environments that appeal to more than just the ear, he creates multifaceted experiences and interactions that carry sensory, social and space-specific meanings. The new musical instruments, sculptures and materials that Atoui employs in the process are inspired by historical, anthropological or technical research. He assembles them into fascinating, agile installations attuned to their surroundings. These can be played by professional musicians as much as they can be the object of a participatory exhibition or workshop.
The project at S.M.A.K., the artist’s first solo exhibition at a Belgian institution, brings together existing works and new productions and is structured around three axes: the exhibition, the educational space and performances.
With the support of the French Embassy in Belgium and the Institut français Paris. As part of EXTRA, a programme to support contemporary French creation in Belgium.
