- Fridericianum
The Fridericianum cordially invites you and your friends to the opening of the exhibition by Mohammed Sami.
Children’s vernissage, 5.30–7 pm
In his new body of work Hostless, Mohammed Sami focuses predominantly on internal spaces. The paintings become a site for mnemonic processes, mental operations in which abstraction falters and something unsettling begins to seep through. Rooms become spectral containers, holding the residue of events that agreed to stay unnamed despite of the availability of the crime evidence. These interiors are literal in their unease yet evasive in meaning, trembling with a physicality that painting, as a practice, refuses to fully define or contain.
The Fridericianum is presenting Sami’s first institutional exhibition in Germany. It is being realized in cooperation with the Stedelijk Museum voor Actuele Kunst (S.M.A.K.) in Ghent and Moderna Museet Malmö.
