Paratext #81 with Zeineb Kaabi, Rima Rezaiguia and Sofia Montenegro

This name, Paratext, hides a monthly program of performances by artists in residence at Hangar as well as artists on exchange grants. They present, in different formats, specific projects or parts of their work. The sessions are always open to the public with the purpose of enabling interaction with the artists themselves.

The next Paratext session will take place on Tuesday, February 25th, at 7 p.m. in Hangar’s Sala Ricson.

Projects will be presented by:

Sofia Montenegro (Long-Term Residency)

Sofia Montenegro develops her work between sound, image, text, and performance. She studied Fine Arts and Cultural Studies between Utrecht and Madrid, and an MA in Art Praxis at the Dutch Art Institute. Her artistic practice incorporates diverse methodologies that link visibility to sound and action in a space, seeking other ways of unveiling and producing images in the present. Her works take the form of installations, listening and observation sessions, walks, collective encounters or performance.

Zeineb Kaabi (Jiser Residency)

Zeineb Kaabi is a visual artist based in Tunisia. She is in fact self-taught with an education in social and cultural anthropology as well as graphic design. In her artistic practice, Zeineb draws on a combination of research and visual experimentation across a spectrum of different media, including light art, experimental video art, experimental photography and data visualization. In her compositions, Zeineb uses elements of both analog materials, such as print, overhead projectors , analog films, glass , along with digital techniques. Zeineb’s artistic practice takes a research-based approach through data visualization and the use of sound as an alternative medium. Often, her data visualization projects transform complex information sets into visually engaging narratives, thus opening the way for viewers to grasp complex information through artistic display. In addition, she experiments with sound, which she uses to add an auditory dimension to her installations, improving the immersive experience.

Rima Rezaiguia (Jiser Residency)

The back and forth between architecture and plastic art is significant of her approach in general, which always moves from one point to another, from one thing to another. Thus, she seeks the passage between the past, the present, and the future; between modernity and tradition; between the finite and the infinite; between evil and good. She tries to show the continuity between the works she produces by exposing the transparency of this approach and translating, materializing these ideas into geometric forms.

The world, in her view, is a three-dimensional space in the shape of a prism, where each face gives a new breath, a new life. Each face is the mirror of another world, yet the world is a whole, absolute and spiritual.

Her artistic practice is multifaceted. She employs drawing, painting, sculpture, video, installation, and engraving.
