Urgency of Existence

Discover the works of Kader Attia, a distinguished French-Algerian artist, in his exhibition that explores themes of restoration and healing in the context of the colonial past. His art, while simple in form, carries a profound emotional depth. Among the standout pieces is Ghost, a sculpture of a woman whose form is reduced to an empty outline, challenging viewers to reflect on identity and the essence of existence. The exhibition encourages a fresh perspective on the concepts of physical and mental repair, as well as the transition towards the future. Attia’s works invite reflection on both personal and collective histories, urging visitors to engage with art that inspires transformation and thought. Until Mar 16. Free. The Jim Thompson Art Center, 10am-5pm
