Mounir Fatmi, Maximum Sensation Suspended, 2016. 14 skateboards, prayer rugs, 90 x 192 x 12 in.
Gallery artist Mounir Fatmi is included in Tradition Interrupted, a touring group exhibition currently at the Museum of Texas Tech University.
Curator Carrie Lederer states:
"The artists of Tradition Interrupted are merging age-old media and technique with innovation, and re-visioning culturally historic ideas to create new work that interrupt traditional practice but still collaborates with the past. For generations, traditional craft and art practices held steadfast and often visually defined a culture. Today, artists are unraveling certain traits and facets of these ancient customs to redefine or reclaim them for the contemporary world."
Tradition Interrupted at the Museum of Texas Tech University is on through July 23, 2023.
The exhibition will continue its national tour through 2024. Next stop: Springfield, Missouri!
