Basim Magdy: The Stars Were Aligned For a Century of New Beginnings
- Artists
- Basim Magdy
Arnolfini presents this first UK solo exhibition by Egyptian artist Basim Magdy.
“Magdy’s work is rooted in dreams, scientific theory and failed Utopian ambitions. Full of humour and quiet melancholy, his works on paper and in film, photography and slide projection reflect on the present social and political climate and our collective failure as, in the desire for progress, we repeat the same mistakes over and over again in a recurring cycle of aspiration, action and defeat.”
Free, donations welcome.
