>"When Lydia Ourahmane places the Kunsthalle Basel in limbo"For her first exhibition at the Kunsthalle Basel, Lydia Ourahmane (Saïda, DZ – 1992) presents the newly commissioned work Barzakh, an “exhibition-as-limbo, that waits for you to sit down and stretch your legs, to let down your guard, to treat this place like home.” Spaces of transaction are often the conceptual starting point for the artist’s work, which explores ways in which histories of displacement and colonial oppression are inscribed upon bodies.
