The Gallery at Virginia Commonwealth University School of the Arts in Qatar (VCUarts Qatar) will be hosting a solo exhibition by renowned Moroccan artist Younes Rahmoun from September 20 to October 20.
The opening reception will take place on September 19 at 6pm in the presence of the artist. The exhibition curator, Laura Barlow from Mathaf: Arab Museum of Modern Art, Doha will also be present. The exhibition is free and open to the public. Described by the UK’s Guardian newspaper as “one of Morocco’s most important artists”, Rahmoun works across a diverse range of mediums, including installation, drawing, performance and video. His works have been presented at numerous exhibitions internationally including the Venice Biennial, and at the Barcelona Museum of Contemporary Art.

With his solo exhibition titled, “Little Worlds, Complex Structures”, Rahmoun will be presenting three works, each with their own unique voice, but which also owe much to his strong sense of belonging, spirituality, and engagement with the social and political urgencies of the world.
“Each one of my pieces originates in a form of meditation that takes place before its production, during, and even after as a receptive experience for the viewer. For me, it is an object of meditation, and I hope that is also the case for the viewer,” says Rahmoun.
The Gallery at VCUarts Qatar has hosted exhibitions by internationally renowned artists such as Hassan Hajjaj, Zineb Sidera, and Fathi Hassan.
