Simulation, the living, subversion, the erroneous and the absurd are at the heart of his practice. Although digital technology is not central to his work, it serves as an ideal ally and tool for questioning our (his) contemporary world. His preferred mediums therefore range from installation to rap, simulation, virtual reality, glitch, VJing, subversion and the creation of real-time visuals. His recent projects involve setting up installations that explore notions of time, modernity and progress. Just as a video game provides us with a simulation of reality, he attempts to create a simulacra of what is real by concealing the digital using techniques such as cabinetmaking, textile work or botany. Fascinated by what is experimental, he hopes his works might provide a moment of sensibility to the public.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Transmission<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is a summary of his research-creation work around themes of intimacy and intra-familial transmission. By contrasting his artistic practice with traditional Moroccan craft practices, Marwan seeks to question and deconstruct his relationship with his identity. These works explore intergenerational transmission, cultural heritage and the notion of leaving a trace.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Website : marwansekkat.art<br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Photo credit: Taken during a Jano Lapin residency by Chris Mackenzie<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":17,"featured_media":15872,"template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"role":[],"cities":[137],"data_type":[141],"joint_mentorship":[],"class_list":["post-15934","artist","type-artist","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","artists-23-24","program-alliance-en","discipline-interdisciplinary-arts","discipline-media-arts","discipline-visual-arts","cities-montreal-en","data_type-artist"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v19.13 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Marwan Sekkat &mdash; MAI | Montr\u00e9al, arts interculturels<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/m-a-i.qc.ca\/en\/artist\/marwan-sekkat\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Marwan Sekkat &mdash; MAI | Montr\u00e9al, arts interculturels\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Marwan Sekkat is a Franco-Moroccan interdisciplinary artist living in Quebec.
