A Life Full of Holes: The Strait Project

April 7, 2006 - May 20, 2006

Reception: April 7, 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm

Yto Barrada

The Kitchen

512 W 19th St
This first solo exhibition in the United States by the French-Moroccan artist Yto Barrada features photographs and videos from her ongoing investigation of the city of Tangier and the adjacent narrow channel, the Strait of Gibraltar. Since the adoption of a common, closed border for the European Union created in 1991, North Africans are no longer able to travel freely across this channel, which forms an unique border - at once political, symbolic, and intimately personal - separating Africa from Europe. Reflecting a sensibility poised between the poetic and the documentary, Barrada's images reveal the tensions, frustrations, and hopes that animate the streets of her hometown.

This exhibition was selected by Sina Najafi, editor of Cabinet magazine, and was organized by Debra Singer and Matthew Lyons of The Kitchen. This exhibition was made possible with support from étant donnés: The French-American Fund for Contemporary Art, a program of FACE.
