Les Transculturelles des Abattoirs
Contemporary Culture Biennale
Bureau E.A.S.T. curators of architecture section
Morocco’s first contemporary culture biennale and the first of its kind in North
Africa, Les Transculturelles des Abattoirs, was held in Casablanca this weekend. The former slaughterhouses of Casablanca, les Abattoirs, were transformed
into a vast exhibition space, hosting a wide range of art, architecture and
video installations, dance performances, and concerts.
Curated by Bureau E.A.S.T. team, including principals Aziza Chaouni and Takako
Tajima, and architects Sacha Leong and Vesna Kann, the architecture component
of Les Transculturelles introduced a series of micro-public spaces into the
Abattoirs. An international roster of architects created installations for the
event, including Atelier Bow Wow (Tokyo), Office dA (Boston), KLF/Emergent
Software (Toronto), Interboro Partners (New York), Eric Ellingsen (Chicago),
and Kilo (Casablanca).
