Around a permanent exhibition of past commissioned art works of the Attijariwafa bank collection, a temporary site-specific project ordred to the moroccan artists Malika Agueznay and Amina Agueznay, to celebrate the opening of the new regional office building of Attijariwafa bank in Rabat the capital. Affinities and dualities of two voices which connects a long and patient artistic path, in which the gesture, engraved, painted or weaved, is transformed into a space of pondering. Amina Agueznay (1963) feeds a particular attachment in the traditional materials of its country. She chose since her beginnings to confront the expertise of master craftsmen felt in her own creative vision, to make us discover new forms of reflection around sometimes impressive structured creations.
Invited by Attijariwafa bank Foundation to intervene in the new Regional Branch of the Bank in the Capital Rabat, she spread on the floor of the Auditorium, her work Ankabouth, a natural woolen tapestry spun in the rough, binding between them both vegetal and animal shapes in an imaginary landscape. The work acted as a passage, a transition between the internal space, in the merciless order, and the outside, which lets glimpse surrounding a wild vegetation. In foretaste of the installation, has also been presented, fragments of works in constant transformation between feature and work of art.
Malika Agueznay (1938) is a pioneer painter and an engraver having taken part in the group of Casablanca from 1966. Her work concentrates on the motive for the seaweed stylized in a wave-like writing. With this sign as a language, writing, calligraphy developing an infitine movement, can be settled the chromatic, formal and spiritual affinities between both artists, through a choice of engravings and paintings drawn from their personal collection.
