Heba Y. Amin at No Time for Prophecies at MAXXI Med (08/10/2024)
No Time for Prophecies was a collection of works that explore time, responding to the need of artists to escape the present and find, through slowing down, the critical distance necessary to create. No Time for Prophecies intended to show how artists, both within and outside the Mediterranean context, explore new forms of temporality. The project focused on works that take the form of contemporary rituals, filmed and performed, set in the time of research and immersed in the waters of the sea. These places become moments for contemplation, spaces for divination, between creative isolation and observation of waves, islands and tides: instruments of meditation and imagination.
Curated by Chiara Ianeselli with Davide Daninos, the project builded on the research that began with A Yellow Sun, A Green Sun, A Yellow Sun, A Red Sun, A Blue Sun: Echoes Through the Mediterraneans, the inaugural program of MAXXI Med, the new museum center in Messina. The program was presented at MAXXI Med, Messina, Sicily between October 8 to 20, 2024.
