SOUND OF OBJECTS: Mohammed Kazem

Gallery Isabelle van den Eynde is pleased to present Sound of Objects, Mohammed Kazem's first solo exhibition following his participation in the 55th Venice Biennale.

In the wake of Walking On Water, Kazem's expansive, immersive installation in Venice, Sound of Objects sets out to show a side of his practice that is playful and downright bodily, directed by an urge that Hassan Sharif, Kazem's friend and mentor, describes as an 'eternal fascination'.

This 'eternal fascination', Sharif writes in a 2013 essay of the same name, manifests itself in the way Kazem makes "subjectivity a subject in its own right: that is, he connects external phenomena to the imagination." Sound of Objects takes this idea as its point of departure and attempts to show how the artist has, over the course of 30 years, developed a highly subjective vocabulary to express his fascination with often overlooked nuances of experience.
