NOMAD Venice 2019

NOMAD Venice 2019

PALAZZO SORANZO VAN AXEL, VENICE | 5-8 SEPTEMBER 2019

Carwan Gallery, in occasion of NOMAD Venice 2019, presented a solo exhibition of the Lebanese artist Georges Mohasseb.

“Future Memories” is an ode to brutalist architecture, decorative functionality, and imagined memories.  It’s a city created at the intersection between the imagination of Antonio Sant’Elia, the Italian Futurist architect from the turn of the century and the visionary world of Italo Calvino’s “Invisible Cities”.

“I wanted to create a collection that reflected the imagined futures of the 1960s and 70s, when industrial cities became a symbol of a new age,” explains Mohasseb. “It’s a world that comes alive with sheer excitement for modern architecture and technology, and this excitement inspired the creation of ‘Future Memories.’”

PAST REPRESENTATION

Georges Mohasseb

Beirut, Lebanon

Georges Mohasseb has been working as an architect and designer for over two decades. His constant search for materiality and immateriality has defined his approach to design. He creates limited numbers of timeless designs, focusing on excellent craftsmanship and a complex expression of materials. The understanding and presence of wood is key in the work of Georges Mohasseb, be it solely or in combination with other materials.

Through specialized techniques and expert knowledge, Georges unlocks the artistic versatility of this living matter, bringing out its unique potential in the form of timeless designs
