Tarek Atoui presents an installation composed of three sculptures from his series At-Tāriq (2024—ongoing), alongside works from Roberto Cuoghi, Pierre Huyghe, Amy Sillman and Haegue Yang.
At-Tāriq, meaning “The nightcomer” or “The morning star,” draws on the traditional Majlis—a space of hospitality and conviviality found in Arab and North African homes. Developed through extensive research and fieldwork across the Arab world and North Africa, the project retraces trans-Saharan routes of pilgrimage and trade, bringing together musical traditions, craftsmanship, and contemporary sound practices. The three sculptural works form part of a larger constellation of experimental sonic objects developed by Atoui.
The installation invites visitors to consider sound as a means of connecting different geographies, histories, and cultural practices. By combining sculptural forms with experimental sonic elements, Atoui explores how musical traditions can be reinterpreted through contemporary artistic approaches. Presented alongside works by Cuoghi, Huyghe, Sillman, and Yang, the sculptures enter into a broader dialogue around materiality, perception, and the ways artistic practices can create new relationships between people, places, and shared cultural experiences.
