Program

Performance: Fatima Moallim

Date: September 27, 2023
Location: Magasin III Museum for Contemporary Art

During the fall of 2023, three works on paper by Fatima Moallim are presented in the reference library of Magasin III. On September 27, Moallim created the performance work Markeringar in the Magasin III library, which resulted in a work directly on the wall. The site-specific work has the three drawings by Moallim in the Magasin III collection as its point of departure. The three works on paper are abstract depictions of upbringing, rooted in the places that are part of one’s origin, identity, and belonging. The works demonstrate that one’s sense of belonging can be found both in the shelter beneath a bed and extend across mountain landscape.

Fatima Moallim works with sculpture, performance, and installation, incorporating elements of drawing and sound. Her practice connects memories from the past with the sentiments of the present. Moallim often uses ballpoint pens, pencils, and oil pastels on paper or directly on the wall.

Moallim’s work has been exhibited at the Konstakademien (2024), Moderna Museet, Stockholm (2018, 2022), Göteborgs konsthall (2021), Marabouparken, Stockholm (2018), Zinkensdamms subway station in Stockholm (2020), and on the glass facade of Bonniers konsthall, Stockholm (2019). She is represented by the Belenius Gallery, Stockholm, and her work is part of collections including the British Museum, Moderna Museet, Göteborgs konstmuseum, Ståhl Collection, and Statens konstråd. Moallim was the 2022 Iaspis Studio Grant Holder ISCP, New York.
