A solo exhibition with examples of many of the disciplines and media that made up Kora\u00efchi’s practice, all “showcasing his abiding fascination with the creation of deeply layered seams within the spiritual, political and intellectual”.
\nKora\u00efchi often speaks of belonging entirely to writing, wanting to reveal the secrets of texts by great mystic poets and writers such as R\u00fbm\u00ee, Ibn Arabi, Attar and Rabia Al Adawya. “Writing and drawing are not two different things'” he said in a recent interview. “They are essentially one and the same \u2013 they come, so to speak, from the same breath”. Kora\u00efchi’s ‘alphabet of memory’ is anchored in the world of glyphs and cyphers, where he nurses his fascination for texts function, aesthetics and cultural significance.<\/p>\n
The exhibition is centred on the two site-specific scultpures Les Prieurs <\/em>and Les Priants <\/em>(above); accompanying them will be 2D work ranging from 3m silk organza tapestries to meticulously detailed canvases.<\/p>\n To 25 May.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
