When Form Becomes Attitude

When Form Becomes Attitude brings together five artistic positions that treat the body not as a fixed form, but as a vessel—for memory, ritual, and transformation. Across sculpture, painting, photography, drawing, textiles, and performative elements, the body becomes spell, membrane, echo, and interface—an unstable medium through which form expresses belief, desire, and becoming. Referencing—and inverting—Harald Szeemann’s landmark 1969 exhibition When Attitudes Become Form, materiality here becomes gesture itself. Form is not merely the outcome of an idea—it is the idea: embodied, symbolic, sensual. Surrealism, eroticism, animism, and humor run like subterranean currents through the exhibition. Contemporary and historical voices engage in a transformative dialogue.

Karim Boumjimar introduces a hybrid mythology into the space: three ceramic vessels featuring human-animal figures resemble cult objects, infused with North African symbolism, ancestral consciousness, and queer longing. His figurative drawings extend this universe into an intimate, mythical realm of fluid, sensual beings.
