Presentation by Marya Kazoun about her work 2005-2009
Biography:
MARYA KAZOUN (Beirut, Lebanon, 1976. She lives and works in New York, USA and Venice, Italy)
Marya Kazoun grew up in Beirut during the war years. In 1984 her family fled the war the first time by moving to Switzerland. Later she lived in Montreal with her family where she became Canadian. She later returned to Beirut and completed degrees in Interior architecture and Fine Arts at Lebanese American University. In 2001 she moved to NY and completed an MFA in fine arts at the School of Visual Arts.
Her works are mainly installations and performances, she uses 3D low relieves, painting, drawing and photo as support for her installation pieces.
Her art is a personal perception of reality. She creates worlds that are parallel to the one we live in. She explores the micro Vs the macro, the extremely beauty vs. extremely repulsive. She gives a voice to herself at 5 years old. Her art is an attempt to domesticate the dark. She uses very common materials like tissue, fabric etc… and transforms them and gives them another life. Her approach to art is strongly feminine emphasized by her dexterity with materials and mastery of ancestral techniques like sewing and weaving. She took part in the 51st Venice Biennial in 2005 with a solo show ‘Personal Living Space’. Some of her participation include, the Pushkin State Museum of Fine Arts (Moscow), the Museum of Modern Art of Klagenfurt (Austria), the Sharjah Biennial 8 in 2007 ‘Crumbling Desert Castles’ commission, the World Economic Forum in Davos 2008, Pozna Biennial in Poland 2008. Her work is currently in 2 exhibitions in this 53rd Venice Biennale Glass Stress and Sant’Elena.

I remember
Forget fullness allegory
Erased memory
I did not forget anything
Amnesia
Forged memory
Ironed memory
Persistent memory
The body’s memory
Does the body still exist?
Urged body
Rethought body
Reconstructed body
Body
Battle field
Forgotten body
Agonizing body
Body, my body
Your body
and
their bodies’ memory
أذكر
صورة نسيان
الذاكرة الممحاة
لم أنسى شيئاً
فقدان الذاكرة
صلابة الذاكرة
مكواة الذاكرة
استمراريّة الذاكرة
ذاكرة الجسد
أما زال الجسد يفرض زجوده؟
جسدٌ يلح
جسدٌ،
ساحة قتال
جسد نسيان
جسد معاناة
جسد خلاص
جسدُ، جسدي
جسدُكَ، جسدُكِ
وذاكرة أجسادهنَ، أجسادهم
