From January 29 to March 28, 2025, Galerie 208, installed in the green setting of the Mandarin Oriental in Marrakech, exhibits the work of the artist Mahi Binebine as part of his exhibition “Silent Elevations”, an introspective journey through a unique selection of sculptures and paintings, combining roughness of materials and poetry of gesture
The exhibition “Silent Elevations” reveals for the first in Morocco once a large part of the monumental sculptures of Mahi Binebine. The scenography designed to dialogue with the surrounding nature, also includes a unique fresco composed of 34 works made in tar on tissue paper. Among the works presented, a series recently included in the collections of the Pérez Art Museum Miami (PAMM) occupies a central place.
Born in Marrakech in 1959, Mahi Binebine is an emblematic figure of contemporary Moroccan art. Painter, sculptor and novelist, he anchors his work in the paradoxes of the human condition. In this new exhibition, he continues his exploration of universal questions: memory and forgetting, rootedness and transcendence, shadow and light.
