Neïl Beloufa: Contando con la gente / Counting on people
In this first exhibition in Spain of Neïl Beloufa, produced by ICA, London, La Casa Encendida presents a series of new sculptures and video works, exhibited in architectural installations specifically designed to break the viewer's conventional engagement with the screen. Through his audio-visual installations, Beloufa attempts to sever our conventional relationship with the screen and redirect the way in which we relate to the imaginary constructs of the digital and real world. The exhibition explores how we choose to communicate, interact and interpret the world since the advent of the digital era.
French-Algerian artist Neïl Beloufa was born in 1985 in Paris. He has had recent solo exhibitions at the Mendes Wood Gallery, Sao Paolo (2014); Fondation d’Entreprise Ricard, Paris (2014); the Hammer museum, Los Angeles (2013); and Kunstraum Innsbruck, Innsbruck, Austria (2012); Beloufa has received many other honours, most recently the Audi Talent Award, Paris (2011) and the Meurice Prize for contemporary art (2013).
