Arash Fayez | Artistic residencies Hangar between Marrakech and Barcelona 2024

> Arash Fayez is the artist selected for the artistic residency exchange between Marrakech and Barcelona. Powered by Hangar, LE 18 and AC/E, in collaboration with Jiser.

With his work, Arash Fayez investigates the conditions of displacement and concepts such as statelessness and non-belonging. Born in Iran, Fayez moved to the United States and later to the United Kingdom and Spain, where he currently resides. His work is often based on his own experiences moving from one place to another. Sometimes, the autobiographical references in his work are intertwined with other narratives, historical or fictional, that allude to the sensation of moving between places, cultures or identities. His exploration of liminal spaces, geographical or otherwise, takes the form of texts, performances and videos.

Lately, he has participated in group exhibitions at MACBA (2021), Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art (2020) and at Mattress Factory (Pittsburgh, 2019). He has performed in centers such as the Württembergischer Kunstverein (Stuttgart, 2020), La Virreina Center de la Imatge (Barcelona, 2019), the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts (San Francisco, 2017) and the Metropolitan Museum of Art (New York, 2015 ).
