Biography

A graduate of the Institut National des beaux-arts in 1983 and the École des beaux-arts in Bourges (France) in 1989, he became a professor at the Tétouan INBA, where he founded the workshop ''Volume et installation in 1993'' – a key period where his artistic production became inseparable from his educational commitment. He is honored to have contributed to training several artists of the ''Tétouan generation'': Safâa Erruas, Batoul S’Himi, Younès Rahmoun, Mohssin Harraki and Mustapha Akrim. His collaboration with Jean-Louis Froment at the collective exhibition ''L'Objet désorienté au Maroc'', at the Museum of Decorative Arts in Paris in 1999, is recognized as a milestone in the history of contemporary trans-Mediterranean art. At the crossroads between sculpture, installation, performance and public space, Faouzi Laatiris develops an aesthetic of hybridization, echoing the urban building site and southern economies in globalization since the 1990s. His works want to go to the very edge of cultural schizophrenia, defying visual bombs between their form and function, between systems of more or less industrial production, système D (getting by) and the poetics of ruin. Faouzi Laatiris has been shown, among other venues, at the
