Interested in spaces of convergence between different facets of knowledge, Mazen Al Ashkar seeks a relationality to the unprecedented ecological, economical and sociopolitical predicaments by playing with elements of and inbetween the binaries of Humanism, such as the rational-irrational, the scientific-superstitious. Seeking an interdisciplinary practice his work takes shape through multimedia installations, video and sound art.

Born in Syria in 1989, graduated from the Faculty of Fine Arts, Damascus University in 2013 and received an MFA in Artistic Research from the Royal Academy of Art, The Hague in 2021.

In the EXBUNKER he will be experimenting with a sonic interplay with infrastructural material, listening to and playing with byproducts of systems of connectivity and utility.

Between Lines

Roos Gerritsen

A multimedia/video installation with the sky as its subject, interrupted and then reordered. Through projection this fragmented sky becomes a metaphor for the urban view, where buildings, lines, and levels continually break the gaze. Below, on, and above the ground of the EXbunker a new play of edges and depths emerges, a horizon that is constantly shifting. Roos connects the sky to vulnerability and freedom, giving it a spontaneous presence in contrast to the concrete reality of the space.
